Ricerche sulla lingua osmanli del XVI secolo

Il corpus lessicale turco del manoscritto fiorentino di Filippo Argenti (1533).

This book provides the entire Turkish lexical corpus contained in the work traditionally known as 'Regola del parlare turcho', accompanied by a systematic analysis. Made up of over 650 papers collected in two volumes, the code became known to scholars solely by virtue of a brief essay written in 1938 by Alessio Bombaci, who published only a small part of its content. What has hitherto remained unpublished - about 90% of the manuscript - is essentially an Italian-Turkish glossary comprising thousands of entries divided into two parts, which are named by the author as Vocabulario di nomi and Vocabulario de verbi. The material is here published in its entirety, ordered alphabetically according to the Turkish entries, and accompanied by a linguistic and historical-etymological comment on each entry which stands as a loanterm.
