A Diachronic Look at Franciscan Orthography

Author(s): Petra Košutar
Subject(s): Theoretical Linguistics, Theory of Literature

Keywords: Franciscan literary koine; orthography; spelling;
Summary/Abstract: Researchers of Franciscan language and literary heritage have so far very thoroughly explored many topics, including Franciscan orthography. Their research has confirmed common spelling practices, but the question of a standard Franciscan orthography remains open. Keeping in mind that older authors were often models for younger ones, and that their works were mostly comprised of translations of foreign texts, this paper examines whether there are common orthographical practices in the Franciscan literary koine, and whether there is any foreign influence on Franciscan orthography.
