Hi,

this is not a question about translation but I'm just curious to know whether the "tocius" in the following sentence is right or not:

Praga tocius Bohemiae domina

Should it not be "totius"? Or is it just a misprint? I had this sentence in one text recently and the unusual form caught my eyes. It had been written by a scholar in 11th century but unfortunately the original has not been preserved.
I have no idea of middle-age Latin but maybe someo... See more

I have no idea of middle-age Latin but maybe someone of you would know more about this?

Question about 11th century Latin May 27, 2006

"Totius" makes perfect sense.

"Tocius" does not appear to exist.

My money is on a scribal error, and error in transcription or
a misprint.

totius / tocius May 27, 2006

_totius_ is word that you want, although _tocius_ is a result of pronunciation influencing spelling rather than a scribal error (such as diplography, etc.). By the 11th c. -ti- was certainly already sibilized (cf. amicitia >> amicizia etc.)

Latin variation May 28, 2006

There are lots of variations in spelling from that time, as well as local Latin dialects and other things to confuse us. Looks like a sibilisation to me too.

No spellcheck back then! Probably a good thing

Saluti,
