Old English Homilies from MS. Bodley 343: Early English Text Society Original Series, cartea 302

Editat de S.E. Irvine
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 ian 2001
The edition presents seven Old English homilies from Oxford Bodleian Library Ms Bodley 343. The manuscript was written in the late twelfth century, but the homilies edited here were all composed over a century earlier. They are all unique to Bodley 343, and have not been edited since the 1909 edition of A.O. Belfour (EETS OS 137), which supplied only a text and translation. Four of the homilies are by AElfric, three are anonymous. The edition includes a general introduction discussing the composition of Bodley 343 and its relation to the various lines of transmission identifiable in Old English manuscripts. It also discusses the language of the homilies, of particular interest owing to its transitional nature. Each homily is preceded by a separate introduction describing its background, contents, and relation to sources and analogues. Latin sources are printed beneath the text and a glossary covering all the homilies is provided.

Recenzii

a very fine work, bringing these texts to the attention of scholars in a very full, helpful edition, which will be most welcome to all those working in Old English.
Irvine's treatment is a clear distillation of intricate matter, admirable in summarizing those things needful to know, particularly about Aelfric and the various authorial and scribal versions of his works. The undoubted strength of this strong edition, however, is the treatment of the seven individual pieces. Irvine's edition is yet another indication that Old English prose has moved from second-class status in Old English studies to the prominence it deserves in scholarly inquiry. In turn, the edition will likely inspire further research, sustained as those efforts should be by the example of this excellent work.
Susan Irvine's new edition of seven of the Belfour pieces ... is greatly to be welcomed. ... In it we have a much improved text, better laid out and punctuated, and cleansed of Belfour's occasional inaccuracies and the apparently meaningless but very frequent acute accents with which the manuscript text is sprinkled ... this edition is a model of exactitude and responsible scholarship.
