der

il digamma non ſolamente in vece dello ſpirito aſpro ſi usò, ma in vece uſoſſi eziandio di quello, che ſpirito dolce dir ſi potrebbe

1734, Giovanni Stefano Granara, “Capitolo ⅩⅩⅦ”, in Dell’antichità ed origine di Roma - Dissertazione istorica, Venice: Giammaria Lazzarone, page 428:

The digamma was not only used in place of the rough breathing, but it was also used in place of that which could be called smooth breathing

Il digamma traea la ſua origine dal Vau de’ Fenici.

1800, “Libro Ⅰ, Capo Ⅳ”, in I dodici libri delle instituzioni oratorie - Tomo primo, Vercelli, translation of Institutio oratoria by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, note (2), page 51:

The digamma had its origin in the Phoenician waw.

Gli si attribuisce una nota oscura sulla relazione tra il digamma (ϝ) greco e la v latina.

1989, “Capitolo terzo: Lanfranco uomo di studio”, in Pierluigi Fiorini, transl., Lanfranco: da Pavia al Bec a Canterbury, Milan: Editoriale Jaca Book Spa, translation of Lanfranc of Bec by Margaret Gibson, →ISBN, page 49:

One unclear note about the relation between Greek digamma (ϝ) and Latin v is attributed to him.

nel medeſimo errore caderebbe, chi poneſſe, ò la quinta uocale per la quarta […], ò per contrario la quarta per la quinta, come faceuano i noﬅri antichi, maſſimamente precedendogli il digamma Eolico, cioè l’u conſonante, come ſeruos per ſeruus.

1596, Giovanni Battista Vangelista, “Della diffinitione, et divisione del barbarismo, et del solecismo, et della derivatione de i loro nomi”, in Discorsi grammaticali, page 106:

Anyone who were to substitute the fifth vowel [U] with the fourth [O], or, to the contrary, the fourth with the fifth, would make the same mistake, as our ancestors did, especially [when] preceded by the Aeolic digamma, that is, the consonantal u, like servos instead of servus.

nelle radici della lingua albanese rendesi manifesta l’analogia colla lingua eolica […] allorchè si applica ad esse il digamma, o la metatesi della lettera r o gli altri cangiamenti di lettere, ch’erano in uso fra gli Eoli.

1831, Giuseppe Crispi, Memoria sulla lingua albanese, Palermo, pages 27–28:

In the roots of the Albanian language, its analogy with the Aeolic language becomes evident, since they both employ the digamma, the metathesis of the letter R, or the other letter changes in use among the Aeolics.

a Claudio Imperadore non riuſcì d’aiutare di tre lettere il Romano. anzi furono sì ſcacciate, che non ci rimane notizia ſe non del digamma Eolico

1600, “Postille al testo [Marginalia]”, in Bernardo Davanzati Bostìchi, transl., L'impero di Tiberio Cesare, Florence: Filippo Giunti, translation of Annales by Publius Cornelius Tacitus, Postilla 2. 34, page 176:

Emperor Claudius did not manage to add three letters to Latin. In fact, they were so adversed that no trace is left of them, except for the Aeolic digamma

A. Scriue Suetonio che l’Imperadore Tiberio Claudio aggiunſe certe lettere che mancauano alla pronuntia latina, ſi caua ciò dalle inſcrittioni dell’iﬅeſſo tempo, che vna d’eſſe in luogo della V, consonante hà queﬅo vncino Ⅎ, ſi che ſcriuendo locauit metteuano LOCAℲIT.
B. Perchè ſi dice egli digamma?
A. Perchè la ſua figura è fatta di due gamme, che ſono la terza lettera de’ Greci, che ſi fa di queﬅa maniera Γ.

1625, Antonio Agostini, “Secondo dialogo - Annona”, in Dialoghi di D. Antonio Agostini Intorno alle Medaglie, Inscrittioni, et altre Antichità, page 70:

- Suetonius writes that emperor Tiberius Claudius added some letters that the pronunciation of Latin lacked. It can be surmised by the inscriptions of that time that one of them, instead of the consonantal V, is this hooked Ⅎ, such that locavit is written LOCAℲIT.
- Why is it called digamma?
- Because it looks like two gammas, which are the third letter of the Greeks, which is written like this: Γ.

In quanto all’epoca di questa iscrizione, nessun dubbio. Lo dimostra anzitutto il digamma eolico che nella lapide si ritrova

1921, Guido Fusinato, “Capitolo sesto: I feziali negli ultimi tempi della repubblica e sotto l’impero”, in Scritti giuridici - Volume primo, page 206:

As for the time of this inscription, there's no doubt. It's proven firstly by the Aeolic digamma that can be found on the tombstone

a letter with a shape similar to that of digamma:

ſi legge il nome di Minerva, così ſcritto […] 𐌌𐌄𐌍𐌄𐌓𐌅𐌀. […] Menerva. Si hanno quì tre altre lettere elementari, 𐌌. 𐌍. 𐌓. ed il digamma Eolico, che ﬅa per V conſonante

1737, Anton Maria Albizzini, Difesa dell’alfabeto degli antichi toscani, published 1742, pages ⅭⅩⅬⅨ–ⅭⅬ:

Minerva's name can be read, written as such: 𐌌𐌄𐌍𐌄𐌓𐌅𐌀, Menerva. There are three more base letters here: 𐌌, 𐌍, 𐌓, and the Aeolic digamma, which stands for a consonantal V

L’etrusco possedeva come l’umbro e l’osco la semivocale fricativa V, indicata con un F = un digamma.

1926, Atti e memorie dell'Accademia di Agricoltura, Scienze e Lettere di Verona (5), volume 2, Verona: La Tipografica Veronese, page 23:

Etruscan, like Umbrian and Oscan, had the fricative semivowel V, marked with an F, that is, a digamma.

La pronunzia […] del digamma etrusco come la /v/ dell’ital. vivere è gravemente errata.

1997, Massimo Pittau, “Le consonanti”, in La lingua etrusca: grammatica e lessico, § 20, page 59:

The pronunciation of the Etruscan digamma as the /v/ of Italian vivere is grossly incorrect.

ma à me ſi fà malageuole à credere, che Claudio ritrouaſſe la lettera F, percioche di eſſa ne fa mentione Cicerone, che fu molti anni auanti, che fuſie Claudio, anzi egli nel nono libro delle lettere ſcritte ad Attico nomina la ſua villa Formiana. Digamma, perche ella cominciaua dalla lettera F, la quale viene detta digamma, eſſendo che paia che ne figuri due Γ

1600, “Sisto Ⅴ. Pont. ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅠ [Sixtus Ⅴ, 231ˢᵗ Pope]”, in Bartolomeo Dionigi, transl., Historia delle vite dei pontefici, translation of Liber de vita Christi ac omnium pontificum by Bartolomeo Platina, page 318:

But it's hard for me to believe that Claudius discovered the letter F, since it's mentioned by Cicero, who lived many years before Claudius, [and] before him, in the ninth book of the letters written to Atticus, names his villa Formiana [as] Digamma, because it[s name] started with the letter F, which is called digamma, due to it seemingly being made of two Γ

i Latini […] aggiunſero poi alle loro ſedici antiche, ſei altre lettere F. K. Q. X. Y. Z. & H. Queﬅa nondimeno non è lettera, ma nota d’aſpirazione . E l’F, che ſi dice Digamma l’hebbero da gli Eolij

1680, “Cap. Ⅵ. Chi fu il primo che trovò le lettere ò che le recò nel Lazio, e dell’accresciuto numero di esse, e della varietà, della forza, e del suono [Chapter 6: Who was the first one to discover the letters, or that brought them to Latium; on their increased number, and on the variety of the strength and sound]”, in Francesco Baldelli, transl., De gli inventori delle cose, translation of De inventoribus by Polydore Vergil, page 24:

The Romans then added six letters to their ancient sixteen ones: F, K, Q, X, Y, Z, and H. The latter, however, is not a letter, but a mark of aspiration. And from the Aeolics they took the F, which is called digamma
