A scholar or person who writes glosses; an expert in annotating or interpreting texts.
From 'gloss' + '-ist' (suffix meaning 'one who practices or specializes in'). Similar to 'glosser' but with more emphasis on expertise and scholarship.
Medieval glossists formed entire schools of interpretation—students would memorize not just texts but the specific glosses of famous teachers, making some glossists' annotations more studied than the original writings!
