Summary "Glossaire du Patois Normand" by Louis Du Bois is a linguistic work written in the mid-19th century. This publication serves as a comprehensive glossary that aims to document and analyze the diverse expressions and words of the Norman patois, which reflects the rich linguistic heritage of the Normandy region in France. The text likely addresses the patois's evolution and nuances, making it an essential resource for linguists and those interested in regional dialects. The opening of this work reveals the author’s lifelong dedication to collecting words and phrases from various localities within Normandy. In a preface, the editor recounts the history of the glossary's creation, highlighting the challenges faced by Du Bois in completing his project and the influences from previous dictionaries that informed his work. The author emphasizes the dynamic nature of the patois and the difficulty in capturing its full scope, encouraging others to contribute to this ongoing linguistic study. The text serves both as a documentation of the existing vocabulary and a call to action for further research on the patois as part of the broader French language tradition.
