Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biblical Quotations in Middle English Literature Before 1350 For the following collection, all accessible works written in English from the death of Ælfric (c. 1025) down to, but not inclusive of, the year 1350, have been read, with a view to extracting the Biblical quotations, paraphrases, and allusions contained in them. For the Introduction, a few additional works, written between 1350 and the date of Wyclif´s first translation of the Bible, have been drawn upon for the illustration of points under discussion. So far as possible, the texts have been arranged chronologically, and in general the dates given by Schofield have been followed, with occasional dependence on Brandl for dates not given by Schofield. The Biblical extracts in texts of undetermined date are placed together after those whose approximate dates have been settled. So much difficulty, however, has been encountered in ascertaining dates, that no claim is made for more than an approximately chronological order of arrangement. Nor is it asserted that all works are included that should be; it is quite likely that omissions will be found by those in a better position to conjecture the probable dates of certain Middle English works not dated by their editors.
