Pompejusz conferred

Sextus Pompeius Festus (around the 2nd century AD) - a Roman grammar, the author of the lexicon De verborum significatu (Latin for the Meaning of Words), containing explanations of the harder, mostly obsolete words found in earlier Roman literature. > Festus's lexicon is not an original work, but a comprehensive, twenty-one extract of an even larger lexicon under the same title, written by Werker Flakkus. This last lexicon has not survived, we know of its existence from to other authors (including Festus itself). Festus's lexicon is preserved in only about one-third, the oldest manuscript containing the part from the letter M to V.

Another extract, this time from the work of Festus, did in the eighth century n.e. Paweł Diakon. It had the entirety of the lexicon, so this extract gives the notion of the content of the untouched Festus books. Bibliography Authoritative control (person):
