Lexic de Origine Latină în Scrieri Din Epoca Veche a Românei Literare: Între uz Relativ Restrâns și Expresivitate
Lexicon of Latin Origin in Writings from the Ancient Age of Literary Romanian: Between Relatively Restricted Use and Expressiveness

Summary/Abstract: The subject treated by us in the present study reflects the analysis done on some lexical elements of Latin origin extracted for interpretation from "Manuscript 67" from the Library of the Romanian Academy in Bucharest. It contains the complete translation from the Slavonic language of the book "Ithica Ieropolitica" by the monk scholar Vartolomei Măzăreanu, in 1764. In interpreting lexical elements, after the etymology of one term or another is established, the meaning of the words is taken into account, where the context requires it. In most cases, the etymologies were extracted in particular from reference dictionaries such as DA and DLR, in order to determine precisely the lexical elements under study here. The terms encountered in the work of the archimandrite Vartolomei Măzăreanu were selected starting from a semantic dissociation, possible to see clearly, from certain locations, expressions and syntagms in which different lexemes appear attested. Regarding the aspect in which I chose to group the terms, in order not to resemble the way of presenting a dictionary, they were ordered according to their origin, in this case, in elements of Latin origin which, on one hand, they are no longer met in the modern version of the literary Romanian or which have a very limited use, being little known, obsolete or preserved only in certain dialect areas, and, on the other hand, in words created on Romanian land, also derived from words of Latin origin.
