The paper offers a sample of the glossary of pilgrimage accounts to the Holy Land (13th-15th centuries) being prepared by the authors. The article, which is devoted to Orientalisms, collects and comments on more than 70 borrowings from Byzantine Greek, Arabic, Turkish and Persian. The lexical entries are preceded by observations on issues related to the collected material : the philological reliability of the sources, the linguistic characteristics of the borrowings and the onomasiological distribution of the entries, as well as the greater or lesser extent to which the texts display oriental words or phrases.
Il contributo offre un saggio del glossario degli itinerari in Terrasanta (XIII-XV sec.) in via di allestimento da parte degli autori. L’articolo, dedicato agli orientalismi, raccoglie e commenta oltre 70 prestiti dal greco bizantino, dall’arabo, dal turco e dal persiano. Le schede lessicali sono precedute da alcune riflessioni su tematiche connesse con il materiale raccolto: l’affidabilità filologica delle fonti consultate, le caratteristiche linguistiche dei prestiti in esse individuati e la distribuzione onomasiologica delle voci, nonché la maggiore o minore disponibilità dei singoli itinerari a riprodurre parole o locuzioni di origine orientale.

Abstract
The paper offers a sample of the glossary of pilgrimage accounts to the Holy Land (13th-15th centuries) being prepared by the authors. The article, which is devoted to Orientalisms, collects and comments on more than 70 borrowings from Byzantine Greek, Arabic, Turkish and Persian. The lexical entries are preceded by observations on issues related to the collected material : the philological reliability of the sources, the linguistic characteristics of the borrowings and the onomasiological distribution of the entries, as well as the greater or lesser extent to which the texts display oriental words or phrases.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
