Sobre la utilización del giro qui supra como adjetivo demostrativo

Abstract

The relative clause is qui supra dictus est and similar ones are abbreviated sometimes to is qui supra eliding the verb in technical texts and later by Christian authors. Sometimes verb and relative pronoun are elided, so that qui supra functions as a pronoun (e. g., per quem supra). From 400 AD on, we found cases in which qui supra agrees with a noun in gender, number and case, being thus employed as an adjective (e. g., die qua supra). This can be found above all between the 5th and the 12th century. The examples can be read in dates of charters, acts and chronicles, mostly in ablative of the three genders. The exceptions are a genitive in the acts of the 9th Council of Toledo (655 AD) and three examples referring to persons in the Chronicle of Hydatius (5th century).
