The research on Modistic syntax, after a long period of interruption (from the contributions by Covington 1984, Benedini 1988, and Marmo 1994, ch. 6), has recently regained some interest (Lombardi 2007, ch. 2). However, many texts are still unpublished or rarely studied. Among these are the commentaries on Martin of Dacia’s Modi significandi which, from the end of the 13th century, in Paris as well as in Bologna, were commented beside to Priscian’s text (the so-called Priscianus Minor) in teaching and reflecting on syntax. In this paper, we will try to offer an overall examination of the first commentaries, due to an unidentified Master Simon (in Paris) and Gentilis of Cingoli (in Bologna) and their respective positions within the modistic mainstream.

Abstract
The research on Modistic syntax, after a long period of interruption (from the contributions by Covington 1984, Benedini 1988, and Marmo 1994, ch. 6), has recently regained some interest (Lombardi 2007, ch. 2). However, many texts are still unpublished or rarely studied. Among these are the commentaries on Martin of Dacia’s Modi significandi which, from the end of the 13th century, in Paris as well as in Bologna, were commented beside to Priscian’s text (the so-called Priscianus Minor) in teaching and reflecting on syntax. In this paper, we will try to offer an overall examination of the first commentaries, due to an unidentified Master Simon (in Paris) and Gentilis of Cingoli (in Bologna) and their respective positions within the modistic mainstream.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
