单词 | cerceaus |
释义 | cerceausn. A French word from the source ( Somme le Roi) translated in Ayenbite misleadingly printed as part of the English text by R. Morris in his edition of 1866. Cf. quarteus n.Dan Michel, the author of Ayenbite, was clearly puzzled by the word, and left a blank space in the English text at this point (a practice he employs elsewhere) carefully transcribing the French word in the margin with an insertion sign, presumably intending that a suitable English gloss be inserted in the blank space once the meaning of the French word had been ascertained (see further P. Gradon Dan Michel's Ayenbite of Inwyt (1979) 9).
