Add up
Adding (from Latin addicere "to speak ", noun addictio , addiction ) is a foreign word introduced in the early New High German period , the basic meaning of which is "to speak".
While in the early New High German period, reflexive use was also used in the meaning of "surrendering to someone with body and soul, submitting" (cf. English addiction "devotion, addiction"), today it is only used transitive (adding something to someone ) as Technical expression in legal historical contexts or as an educational expression for the attribution of a work.
Adding in legal language
The use of legal language in German today is limited to legal-historical contexts and follows on from the meaning of addicere in the language of Roman law . In the original understanding of a "promise" in the context of legislative action, which is added to the speech or action of a person and has a legally binding effect, the meaning in the development of ancient legal language was largely based on that of a judge, magistrate or now also a contracting party completed “awarding, transferring, hammering” of a real good or a person is narrowed. So a contentious the issue of ownership Good will from the judge to the rightful owner addiziert , is the creditor of an insolvent debtor an agreed pledged property or a debt slave addiziert up to the redemption of the debt the debtor in person or will bankrupt the Praetor to the highest bidder addiziert .
As a term with a narrowly defined meaning, the word has established itself particularly in connection with the type of contract addictio in diem or in diem addictio . This is a special agreement ( pacta adiecta ) of a contract in the form of a condition, usually to a purchase contract, with the seller's right to withdraw for a limited period of time: the seller adds the subject of the contract to the buyer on the condition that by the set date not from on the other side an offer is made that is cheaper than the one to which the contractual partner (buyer) is then ready for his part. The classical lawyers still argued about whether the lack of a better offer had a suspensive (according to Julian ) or dissolving effect (according to Sextus Pomponius ) during the period.
Adding a work
In the language of art history, philology, the book industry and as an educational expression, add is sometimes used to ascribe an anonymous work that has been handed down under a false name or whose authorship is dubious to its author or producer, who has been identified on the basis of stylistic, historical or other references: in For example, a painting is added to its painter, a text to its author, a handwriting to a certain scribe or an early print to its printer to this sense .
