Il contributo fa luce sull’origine di una lectio singularis attestata nel manoscritto francese 176 della Bibliothèque Municipale di Cambrai (f. 19ra), latore dell’inedita Voie d’Enfer et de Paradis di Pierre de l’Hôpital (1315-1336). Le sole altre attestazioni della lezione, non censita nei lessici e plausibilmente identificabile con una geovariante della tipologia vitivinicola del pinot, si registrano esclusivamente nella regione dell’Alta Francia e specificamente in alcune carte d’archivio di Amiens, Lille e Douai. L’etimologia che si propone, in particolare, individua il fomite principale della variante in un motto di spirito consistente nella relazione associativa tra la forma primaria del nome del vitigno e l’antroponimo di un santo particolarmente venerato nella regione dell’Audomarois.

Abstract
The contribution sheds light on the origin of a lectio singularis attested in a manuscript (Cambrai, BM, ms. fr. 176, f. 19ra) conserving the unpublished Voie d’Enfer et de Paradis by Pierre de l’Hôpital (1315-1336). The only other attestations of the word, not recorded in the lexicons and plausibly identifiable with a geovariant of the pinot wine typology, are recorded exclusively in the region of Upper France and specifically in some archival papers of Amiens, Lille and Douai. The etymology proposed below, in particular, identifies the main cause of the variant in a wit consisting in the associative relationship between the primary form of the name of the vine and the popular anthroponym of a saint particularly venerated in the Audomarois North France area.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
