Yassni & Yesen Glosses in Mater Verborum

Here are the glosses in Mater Verborum (Glosa Salomonis) from the manuscriptorium on the topic of Yassni or Yesen.  As you can see they are right above (and refer to) Isis, i.e., the Egyptian goddess (see above lingua egipti).  The Mater Verborum does contain genuine Slavic (Czech) glosses.  However, as it been in the hands of the notorious forger Hanka, many of the glosses are believed to be his additions.  Telling the genuine glosses from the fake ones, however, has proven difficult.  Adolf Patera undertook this task and concluded that, among the fake ones, was also the above one referring to Yassni/Yesen, i.e., that this was an addition by Hanka.  Nevertheless, the Hanka  forgeries are themselves a story of great interest and, therefore, we include this gloss here.  Prior glosses referring to Slavic gods (not all of them from Mater Verborum! (though virtually all are believed to be forged)) are shown here.
