Il lemma abaso nella glossografia latina: ricostruzione di un percorso

The paper deals with the origin of a not already explained latin noun, abaso, which is found in many glossographic works since the late Antiquity. It is suggested that the form abaso has its roots in a lost Latin gloss to the Bible, dealing with abyssus, and thus, also a tentative explanation for its interpretation, i.e. infima domus, is provided.
