This collection assembles 25 articles published by Raymond Arveiller as ongoing addenda to "FEW XIX (Orientalia)" in the Zeitschrift fA1/4r romanische Philologie (ZrP) between 1969 and 1996. It thus supplements "FEW XIX (Orientalia)," which was completed in 1967 and was therefore unable to take into account various sources explored by Arveiller in the last 30 years. As Arveiller died in 1996, the supplements have been assembled unchanged in a special Supplement Volume, with only obvious printing errors emended. It was of course indispensable to compile a new bibliography to accommodate the numerous sources newly drawn on by the author and quoted at the beginning of the articles in the ZrP. The bibliography also encompasses those articles by Arveiller on oriental elements that are not listed in the ZrP addenda. The present volume is an indispensable supplement to "FEW Vol. XIX" and places the study of the oriental elements in Gallo-Romance studies on a new footing in keeping with the state of present-day research.

The 7th edition was prepared by Gerhard Rohlfs in 1974. For the new 8th edition (1996) it has been subjected to further careful revision. Most of the additions and corrections are to be found in the Bibliography, but there are also some slight modifications to the text itself and the Glossary.

The Lessico etimologico italiano provides: 1. The first fundamental etymological dictionary that systematically takes into account written Italian and the Italian dialects. 2. The first Italian etymological dictionary that corresponds to the FEW in its structure and presents the Italian vocabulary in the general context of Romance languages. Taking the etymon as a starting point, it is attempted to present the etymology of each word, taking into account sociocultural and geographical aspects. 3. Systematic, chronologically ordered citations for each spelling and each meaning; bibliographical notes at the end of each article, which are based on the current state of research. 4. Alphabetical glossary at the end of each volume, including an index of derivational morphemes.

Anlasslich des 60. Geburtstages von Max Pfister haben Freunde und Mitarbeiter eine Gratulationsschrift vorbereitet, deren Betrage sich ausschliesslich mit seinem zentralen Werk, dem "Lessico Etimologico Italiano (LEI)" befassen. Der Band gewahrt einen Einblick in die Entstehung und Konzeption eines fur die Romanische Philologie allgemein und fur die italienische Lexikographie im besonderen grundlegenden Worterbuchprojekts.Die 21 Beitrage des Bandes lassen sich den beiden Themenkreisen Konzeption und Strukturen des LEI sowie Quellenkunde und Wortgeschichte im Zusammenhang mit dem LEI zuordnen. Im Einzelnen reflektieren sie grundsatzliche Erfahrungen und besondere Problemstellungen bei der Redaktion und der Arbeit mit LEI.LEI erfasst sprachliche Varietaten von beachtlicher Vielfalt, gestutzt auf eine fast ins Uferlose gehende schriftliche Dokumentation. Seine vier Standbeine sind das Lateinische, die alte Schriftsprache, das moderne Italienisch und schliesslich die modernen Dialekte. Einen marginalen Status, doch ebenfalls strukturelle Funktion, haben Onosmatike und Deonomastika als Lemmata und als chronologische Stutze. Die hier behandelten konzeptionellen Fragen sind fur das Verstandnis aller Artikel wesentlich. Ihre Redaktion und Lekture wird jedoch beherrscht von der Individualitat ihrer Bausteine und deren Komposition. Jede einzelne Quelle hat ihre Dimensionen, jede Quellengruppe ihre Typologie: Das architektonische Werk ihrer Zusammenfugung zu einer Wortgeschichte enthalt seinen eigenen Qualitaten, Uberlegungen, Theoreme, Uberraschungen - und sein wortgeschichtliches Fundament.
