Abstract
The present paper explores the Commentaria et Glosa in Cartam de Logu (1567), the first juridical commentary, written in Latin, of the Carta de Logu, a collection of norms published in the 14th century by the judge-kings of the Sardinian Giudicato (kingdom) of Arborea. The author of the Commentaria, the Sardinian jurist Girolamo Olives, from Sassari, was the first Sardinian magistrate to be appointed as fiscal lawyer in the Council of Aragona in 1554. In his work, Olives gives us important (socio)linguistic data for a better understanding of the Sardinian linguistic community in the 16th century. It is in this period that, beside Sardinian, Catalan achieves the highest status in the linguistic repertoire, while Castilian only slowly starts to expand. Olives takes into account some patterns of Sardinian multilingualism and provides rhetorical examples of the judge-kings’ complicated strategy of legitimation and power consolidation through biblical narrative models.File | Size | Format | |
