A medieval text that has been annotated with glossae; a glossed text or manuscript with explanatory notes.
From Latin glossa in feminine form (glossata), referring to a text that has been 'glossed' or annotated with explanations.
A glossata was a medieval scholar's dream—take a hard text and surround it with explanations until everyone could understand it, creating the first 'annotated editions.'
