Zusammenfassung
Latin grammarians in the first centuries of the Middle Ages passed on faithfully grammatical theories and terminology which had been handed down to them from Antiquity. They did, however, make personal contributions in those areas which tradition left more open such as, for example, the category of grammatical case. They put forward new variants for case names which captured in as clear and complete a manner as possible those logico-semantic values which justified their choice of terms. They got involved in open debates around the especially controversial nature of some cases: the nominative case, the vocative case or the ablative case, which is specific to Latin (as compared to Greek).
