The writer evidently entered upon his task of criticism with afeeling of disbelief in the authenticity of the book; but in his lastletter he admits that, after a minute examination, he is unable topronounce a positive conviction either for or against it.
The style is extremely simple, concise, and unembarrassed,resembling that of ordinary conversation, and free in the choice of thewords. The spelling is also simple and easy, so that the reading of itdoes not involve the least difficulty, and yet with all its regularity,so unrestricted, that each of the separate writers who have worked atthe book has his own peculiarities, arising from the changes inpronunciation in a long course of years, which naturally must havehappened, as the last part of the work is written five centuries afterthe first.

The book as it lies before us consists of two parts, differingwidely from each other, and of dates very far apart. The writer of thefirst part calls herself Adela, wife of Apol, chief man of the Lindacountry. This is continued by her son Adelbrost, and her daughterApollonia. The first book, running from page 1 to 88, is written byAdela. The following part, from 88 to 94, is begun by Adelbrost andcontinued by Apollonia. The second book, running from page 94 to 114,is written by Apollonia. Much later, perhaps two hundred and fiftyyears, a third book is written, from page 114 to 134, by Frethorik;then follows from page 134 to 143, written by his widow, Wiljow; afterthat from page 144 to 169 by their son, Konereed; and then from page169 to 192 by their grandson, Beeden. Pages 193 and 194, with which thelast part must have begun, are wanting, therefore the writer isunknown. He may probably have been a son of Beeden.
It is true that language alters with time, and is continuallysubject to slight variations, owing to which language is found to bedifferent at different epochs. This change in the language in thismanuscript accordingly gives ground for important observations tophilologists. It is not only that of the eight writers who havesuccessively worked at the book, each is recognisable by slightpeculiarities in style, language, and spelling; but more particularlybetween the two parts of the book, between which an interval of morethan two centuries occurs, a striking difference of the language isvisible, which shows what a slowly progressive regulation it hasundergone in that period of time. As the result of theseconsiderations, I arrive at the conclusion that I cannot find anyreason to doubt the authenticity of these writings. They cannot beforgeries. In the first place, the copy of 1256 cannot be. Who could atthat time have forged anything of that kind? Certainly no one. Stillless any one at an earlier date. At a later date a forgery is equallyimpossible, for the simple reason that no one was acquainted with thelanguage. Except Grimm, Richthofen, and Hettema, no one can be namedsufficiently versed in that branch of philology, or who had studied thelanguage so as to be able to write in it. And if any one could havedone so, there would have been no more extensive vocabulary at hisservice than that which the East Frisian laws afford. Therefore, in thecenturies lately elapsed, the preparation [xxiv]of thiswriting was quite impossible. Whoever doubts this let him begin byshowing where, when, by whom, and with what object such a forgery couldbe committed, and let him show in modern times the fellow of thispaper, this writing, and this language.
3. You have seen how speedily I have come to your assistance. Dolikewise to your neighbour, but wait not for his entreaties. Thesuffering would curse you, my maidens would erase your name from thebook, and I would regard you as a stranger.
Thyr was the name of one of their idols, and it was upon hisfeast-day that they had landed there; and in return they offered torecognise Teunis as their perpetual king. Teunis let himself bepersuaded, and the others would not make any quarrel about it. Whenthey were well established, they sent some old seamen and Magyars on anexpedition as far as the town of Sidon; but at first the inhabitants ofthe coast would have nothing to do with them, saying, You are onlyforeign adventurers whom we do not respect. But when we sold them someof our iron weapons, everything went well. They also wished to buy ouramber, and their inquiries about it were incessant. But Teunis, who wasfar-seeing, pretended that he had no more iron weapons or amber. Thenmerchants came and begged him to let them have twenty vessels, whichthey would freight with the finest goods, and they would provide asmany people to row as he would require. Twelve ships were then ladenwith wine, honey, tanned leather, and saddles and bridles mounted ingold, such as had never been seen before.
his wife, he said, who had been maagd of Texland, had received acopy of it. In Texland many writings are still found which are notcopied in the book of the Adelingen. One of these writings had beenplaced by Gosa with her last will, which was to be opened by the oldestmaiden, Albetha, as soon as Friso was dead.
Wine aroma is modulated by different viticultural parameters, such as the climate and soil of the vineyard; the variety and clone; viticultural practices; winemaking procedures, such as pre-fermentation processing, yeast strain, and alcoholic fermentation conditions; and wine treatments from fining to bottling [9]. However, despite all of these parameters, most wines exhibit a characteristic and distinctive odor according to the grape variety from which they are produced [9]. All of the previously mentioned parameters can enhance or reduce this character.
The aroma profiles of the wines of the aforementioned main Greek commercial grape varieties are described in popular sources, such as books [4,6] and internet blogs [3,7,8]. However, scientific research on the typical characteristics of these varieties is scarce or even lacking. In particular, the wines produced from the aforementioned white grape varieties lack scientific resources that depict their characteristic aromas. In contrast, the literature has focused mainly on the red grape variety Agiorgitiko [10,11,12,13,14]. Nonetheless, there is relatively abundant research on Greek wines in terms of physicochemical analyses that highlight significant characteristics of these wines [15,16,17,18,19].
Conventional descriptive analysis has been used widely in the sensory analysis of wines [20]. However, previous research has pointed out some disadvantages of applying this method to characterize wines. Wines have a very complex aromatic matrix, and it has been proven that people can only recognize a limited number of attributes in a complex matrix [21,22]. Furthermore, Lawless [23] reported that rating intensity is a very difficult task when applied to complex products, such as wines. Thus, in this study, we chose to apply the frequency of attribute citation method. In this method, trained panelists are asked to review a list of attributes and check those that characterize each sample. This method has been applied in the past [24,25] and more recently [26], and it has produced comparable results to those of other descriptive methods, such as sorting tasks, conventional descriptive analysis, and the pivot profile method [24,25,26]. Furthermore, as this method does not require a rating task, cognitive fatigue is reduced; thus, it can be easily applied to wines.
In particular, during the first 3 sessions, panelists smelled aroma reference standards from an aroma box (Pulltex, Barcelona, Spain) in order to become familiarized with odors that can be found in wine. Furthermore, in the 2nd and 3rd sessions, they described two wines in each session using the wine aroma wheel of Noble et al. [27]. From the 4th training session onwards, a predetermined descriptor list was given to the panelists. This list was compiled after searching the literature for the varieties used in this study. To the best of our knowledge, no previous scientific work investigating the typical aromas of these varieties has been published. Thus, we checked the available grey literature, including blogs [3,5,8], magazines [28], and books [4,6].
The first two indices (i.e., R and p11) have values in the interval [0, 1], and values close to 1 indicate a high reproducibility; these indices mainly focus on the estimation of the probability of choosing a descriptor in the second replicate given that it was chosen at the first replicate. The index denoted by R was used previously by Campo et al. [25]. The last index is the mean value of the n chi-square distances under the independence assumption between the two replicates; analytically, after computing the values for each panelist and each wine, a contingency table (with two rows and two columns) that included the frequency distribution of the two replicates was generated; then, the chi-square statistic was computed under the assumption of independent evaluations. The index for each panelist is the mean value of n resulting chi-square statistics, with large values indicating a lack of independence (reproducibility) between the two replicates. 2ff7e9595c
