  • Comment on (A): ??? Atropa belladonna L., deadly nightshade, Belladonna

    Cf. Hunger (1935,167): LXXVII: SOLATRUM = A. belladonna. But both identifications Atropa belladonna L. and Solanum nigrum L. (also cf. D'Aronco 1998,54 and Van Arsdall 2002,182) have to be discarded because the translation HA LXXVI "SOLATA ƀ is solosece" probably only originateed from the similarity of L lemma and gloss. That SOLATA was a synonym of SOLSEQUIA can be seen in the surrounding glosses: Dur 309: SOLSEQUIA sigelhveorua, 310 SOLATA solesege, 311 SOLAGO MINOR ID EST ELIOTROPION; Laud 1320-22 has a similar collection. Since a lot of the glosses in Dur go back to the HA, Lindheim's suggestion (1941,n.310): "SOLATA (ob hier für SOLAGO verschrieben?)" is probably wrong.

  • Comment on (A): ??? Solanum nigrum L., black night-shade, Schwarzer Nachtschatten

    According to Stracke (cf. Laud 1322: SOLATA. I. solsece) and Lindheim (Dur 310: SOLATA solesege) SOLATA is an old name for S. nigrum, which shares several names with A. belladonna and similar solanaceous herbs (cg. Marzell 2000,I,516). But both identifications Atropa belladonna L. and Solanum nigrum L. have to be discarded, cf. our comment on A. belladonna.

  • Comment on (B): Calendula officinalis L., pot marigold, Garten-Ringelblume

    C. offcinalis is the preferred identification for SOLSEQUIUM (SOLSEQUIA) and sōlosēce; cf. AntFö and the respective note, therefore the combination SOLATA = solosece (resp. SOLSEQUIA) in HA LXXVI seems to be a writer's error.
