(c) Double forms.—A few only of many are given, with the 
intention that they may help to show the development. They 
largely belong to the old language; the modem has usually 
adopted one form or the other. In any case the i-form is th 9 
regular one and the e-form is a learned or dialectic intrusion. 
In some cases both are more or less learned.

11. In the Ricordi di Matasala di Spinello senese (1233-1243; tea 
Monaci p. 36 seq.), the influence of learning seems quite well exempli¬ 
fied. This is a Sienese document, at which city the development wa* 
E or I (see § 37), but is interesting as collateral testimony. This 
document begins: “Anno Domini .M.CC.XXXIII. in kalen decenbre. 
cheste sono le sspese fatte del mese di dicenbre.” Decenbre is semi- 
Latin in a Latin expression, dicenbre is among the Italian words. In 
line 132, similarly, the writer says: “Anno Domini .M.CC.XXXVIII. in 
kalendis genuari” ... Genuari, semi-Latin with the Latin expression,, 
whereas elsewhere’ he uses genajo (lines 21, 82, 102, 141). 
12. Jacopone da Todi also uses empromettere, enante, enfrenato, en- 
semora, entanno (intanto), entenza, lenguaio. Folgore da S Gimi¬ 
gnano uses empergolato, emperiato (impero), enibriarsi. Cf. §37.
