Subject of this study is a “famous” longobard charter: a charta offersionis, dated 767 april 9, Pistoia, preserved in a notarial copy of the XII century (State Archives of Florence, Diplomatico, Rocchettini di Pistoia, 767 aprile 9), and published by Luigi Schiaparelli in Codice diplomatico longobardo. This charta is famous in the medieval historiography because of a word – Romani –, which appears by mentioning peasants in a dependent social condition, in a strategical passage of the text where the word Romani seems to be used as a synonym of peasants-servants (massari). The conclusion of this study is, that Romani was the result of the incomprehension during the copy-work of the original word massarii, written in the writing of the longobard period: the so-called corsiva nuova. Through the hypertext structure the Author tried to reproduce the stream of the philological, historical and paleographical argument into the various paths of the single questions, which make a tight web around the main problem of the Romani.
