Abstract

In an article published in the Revue des Langues Romanes (2012), Professor Banniard insisted on the linguistic interest of authentics, i.e. relic tags or labels, dating from the Merovingian period. In my contribution, I studied the language of relic labels
originating from the abbey of Chelles by presenting a linguistic commentary of three tags. The stunning results of this study allowed me to illustrate the passage from Merovingian Latin to Old French.
