Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Facsimiles of Twelve Early English in the Library of the Trinity College, Cambridge This small collection of facsimiles is intended for the use of such students of the College as may wish to begin the study of earlier English literature. The manuscript collections in the Library afford an admirable opportunity of acquiring the familiarity with original texts without which I do not believe that the study can be profitably pursued. The hundred or so English manuscripts written before 1501 form a very representative as well as important collection in which every period from the eleventh century onward is fairly illustrated. For the convenience of those who have no acquaintance with old handwritings I have here selected twelve pages for reproduction and furnished these with transliterations and notes. This will supply beginners with specimens of certain typical hands of various dates, further examples of which they will readily be able to find in the Library itself by help of the chronological list of manuscripts printed at the end. In giving the transcripts of the plates I have retained the contractions in a more or less conventionalized form instead of expanding them in italics as is the usual custom. My reason for this is that I have never yet met with a text so treated in which the editor´s practice was not more or less inconsistent and therefore misleading, nor do I believe that any strictly logical practice is possible. I have therefore preferred to retain the contractions and discuss their significance in the notes to the plates in which they first occur. This has the advantage of keeping the transcript as near as possible to the original in appearance, and also avoids the necessity of committing oneself in cases where it is doubtful whether a contraction mark has significance or not. I have added an index of contractions at the end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
