Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Andreas and the Fates of the Apost: Two Anglo-Saxon Narrative Poems Although editions of the text of Andreas have been made from time to time, no comprehensive treatment of the poem on its various sides of Interest has appeared since Grimm published his Andreas und Elene in 1840. In the meantime our knowledge of the language and the literature of the Anglo-Saxon period has not remained stationary, and a new endeavor to present the poem in its proper linguistic and historical setting needs no apology. The Fates of the Apostles is here edited for the first time in its entirety and with explanatory comment. The text of both poems is based upon Wülker´s Codex Vercellensis, a photographic reproduction of the poetical parts of the Vercelli Book. This volume is referred to in the textual notes as MS. Where the readings of the reproduction are uncertain, which happens but rarely, recourse has been had to the Bibliothek and to Napier´s collation of the text of the Bibliothek with the manuscript. Readings derived from either of the two latter sources are always specifically indicated. In the Text all departures from the manuscript readings which originate with the present editor are printed in italics; readings suggested by earlier editors or commentators which are incorporated into the text are printed in Roman type. Additions of a complete word or of several words are enclosed within square brackets. With the exception of a few of the commoner forms of the pronoun, the article, and the conjunctions, the Glossary is intended to be a complete verbal and grammatical index to both poems. No space has been given, in the Introduction, to a formal discussion of grammar or metre. What little of special importance there was to say about these subjects has been said in the Notes. The editor regrets that the results of his chapter on authorship, in the Introduction, could not be more conclusive than they are. In the end, however, the chief gain in such discussions consists in determining the differences and similarities of various works, not in tagging each with an author´s name.
