Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Christ of Cynewulf: A Poem in Three Parts; The Advent, the Ascension, and the Last Judgment My especial interest in the Christ dates from the year 1889, when I published in Modern Language Notes the discovery that a hymn quoted by Bede constitutes an important source for the Third Part. A little earlier in the same year I had commented on the word synrust, occurring in line 1320. In 1896 I published some notes on the Christ in the Festgabe für Eduard Sievers. Besides, I had interested myself in Cynewulf to the extent of publishing, in the first number of Anglia for 1892, an article on the date of the Old English Elene. It was not unnatural, therefore, that when the editors of the present series requested a contribution from me, I should designate the Christ as my choice. At that time I had made no collections toward an edition, and everything not mentioned above, including my notes in the Journal of Germanic Philology, has accordingly been done since the invitation was extended. The discovery of the sources of the First Part was made on March 8 and 9, 1897. So far as the existing state of English scholarship would allow, I have sought to edit an ancient English classic with some approach to the care which has been bestowed upon certain of the Greek and Roman masterpieces. This has required not only an acquaintance with the labors of my predecessors in the same field, but also some reading in the Fathers, the liturgies, and the hymns of the Church. Where I have been baffled, I have not hesitated to say so frankly, that the future inquirer may the more readily discover the problems that stand in pressing need of solution. Some, I doubt not, are insoluble; but I cannot flatter myself that I have left nothing for my successors to do. For the readings of the manuscript I have chiefly depended upon Assmann, in the Grein-Wülker Bibliothek, upon Gollancz, and upon Schipper.
