Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ueber Sir Torrent of Portyngale: Inaugural-Dissertation, Welche Nebst Beigefügten Thesen Mit Genehmigung Der Hohen Philosophischen Fakultät Der Universität Breslan A seventh fragment, of which not much more than the rhyming words are preserved, was omitted by Halliwell, and was printed for the first time in Prof. Koelbing´s collation. This Chetham MS. contains the romance in a very debased and corrupt form, so that the original reading in many passages can hardly be recognized. Tho scribe, who copied the poem from an older MS., lived (no doubt) at a far later period than tho poet; he did not therefore understand a great many old expressions, and these he used to supplant by words of his own; he also transposed and even omitted many lines, and spoiled tho rhyme, because he had not the slightest idea of the nature of the stanza in which the poem is composed. Halliwell did not trouble himself about tho restoration of the true readings; he merely reproduced the traditional text, even where it would have been very easy to do more, though many passages are hopelessly corrupt; still worse is the fact, that ho did not recognize tho metre as the tail-rhymed twelve-line stanza, for he prints six-line stanzas. In consequence, tho whole of the philological work on the text had still to be done, and a new edition was plainly necessary; the more that this poem, though not written in the best period of romance poetry, treats a legendary subject widely spread in the Middle Ages, and is nearly related to another poem, Syr Eylamour of Arlois.
