  Pons-Sanz, Sara M. 2013: The Lexical Eff ects of Anglo-Scandinavian Linguistic Contact on Old English

summary:
  Since the phonological structure of this Old English word can be accounted for only by reference to the linguistic history of Old Norse, it is more probable to regard it as an Old Norse borrowing than to consider it an inexplicable exception to the phonological regularities of Old English. Nevertheless, as the author of the book under review points out (Pons-Sanz 2013: 11–12), many of the Norse-derived terms attested in Old English texts are non-technical, which means that, despite the general opinion, they already evince some of the features that make Norse-derived terms in Middle English so important for the study of the history of the English language.

summary:
  Concerning the evolution of formulas during the Middle Ages, the possible triple connection between formula, script and cultural movement is stressed there several times, and the central position of Italy, France and the German Reich versus the peripheral character of the British Isles or the Iberian Peninsula is also a point to be noted. Taking the Benedictine catalogue as the base for his corpus, but with the addition of more than a thousand new instances taken * om other sources (the several volumes of the Catalogue des manuscrits datés, together with Lowe 1934–1971 and Pellegrin & Gilles-Raynal 1975– 1982), the Belgian scholar set out to prove the existence of “systems of formulas” in western colophons, and to study how these systems developed in time, space and social strata. Attempting a full analysis of all the formulas recorded by the Bouveret benedictines is obviously out of the question: the sheer number of examples would make that a feat near impossible to achieve, at least by a single person.

summary:
  They always take ‘ne + Verb + þæt + ne’, i.e. the main verb or verb phrase is negated as well as the content of the following þæt-clause. From my investigation focused on Old English up and early Middle English some points have been made manifest: (i) A verb with negative import shows a tendency to invite the negative particle ne in the dependent clause it takes, owing to the negative import of the governing verb; this is a kind of correlative construction based on Old English syntax; (ii) Alternative expressions like ‘Verb (with negative import) and Verb of saying + direct speech or indirect speech (with ne)’ may suggest that the construction ‘Verb (with negative import) + þæt + ne’ is not illogical but a contracted and correlative form, meaning ‘he forbade saying, “You should not do that”’ or ‘he forbade and said that I should not do that’; (iii) ‘Verb (with negative import) + to-infinitive’ was found in Old English as an alternative of ‘Verb (with negative import) + þæt-clause’ with or without ne, which means that the shift from forbid that to forbid to is a tendency rather than a historical development; (iv) The ‘Verb (with negative import)

  Before he elaborates on the meaning of Mary’s name as the star of the sea, in sixteen sections Bernard gives a creative summation of what had become central elements of Marian doctrine by this time, such as Mary’s perpetual virginity, a reference to prophecy in Numbers 24:17—“orietur stella ex Iacob” (“A star will rise out of Jacob”)—and Mary as guiding intermediary. Scholars once considered the etymology of Mary as the stella maris a mistranslation in Isidore of Seville’s Etymologiae fr om Jerome’s Quaestiones hebraicae in libro Geneseos (Graef 1963: 162– 163; Pelikan 1978: 162; 1996: 94).

  3.- Steadman, op. cit., p. 41. 158 “disembodied laughter” of Troilus in the epilogue (when Troilus’s soul laughed at those who were mourning him and at the vanities of this life when compared to Eternal Life), which gives Steadman’s study its title, appears with a very ambiguous significance when interpreted in terms of the symmetrical patterns the author built within his story, of its doubleness and “Theban circularity,”1 so that we are led to ask, with David Benson, “is there not an echo here of the prince’s callow laughter towards lovers in book I?.”2 Troilus does not seem to learn anything through his experience in the whole book, so it is doubtful whether Chaucer’s sole intention was to make an exemplum of him. On the complexity and ambivalence of Troilus’ bonds, see especially Stephen Barney, “Troilus Bound,” Speculum , 47 (1972), pp. 445-58.

summary:
  The Roman missionaries may not have translated the Bible into English (although the English Church, along with those of the Irish, would soon display an open mind in translating Scripture), but they were apparently quick to commit Kent’s Germanic law- code to the “safe-keeping” of writing, thereby beginning the processes of transliterating Old English into the Roman script and integrating the Church into the social structure.15 Augustine’s role in inventing written Old English is perhaps best viewed in the context of the mission’s instructions fr om Yet, even if we were to accept the premise that Germanic bards were capable of composing, preserving and transmitting a complex epic poem of the nature of Beowulf across several centuries before it was written down in the Nowell Codex or any earlier lost manuscript intermediaries, then the scholarly trend to place the origins of written Old English in the Alfr edian era has still tended to preclude this hypothesis.

  Keywords: adultery, bigamy, gender, impotence, lawful sexual union, marriage, penitentials, procreation, sex, sexuality, unlawful sexual union. In other words, in the defence of rihthæmed—proper or lawful sexual union—the penitentials can be read as the Church’s attempt to nurture a sexual norm.3 3 The deverbal noun hæmed (sexual union), which derives ' om hæman (to have sex[ual intercourse]) is dealt with at length by Andreas Fischer in his study of Old English vocabulary relating to marriage (1986: 68–75).

Others used romance modes because these had come to permeate their religious imagination; it was natural for them, like the author of Ancrene Wisse with his fable of Christ the lover-knight, to express religious truths in the language of romance.

  Medieval drama survived for much longer than we tend to assume. Some dramatic genres, such as the saints’ plays, did indeed die out along with the cults of the saints they celebrated, and have left very little surviving evidence: only one, Mary Magdalene, survives in anything like full- scale dramatic form, though that, interestingly, operates through a stagecraft remarkably close to that of Shakespeare’s Pericles. Moralities, the allegorical plays that segued into interludes in the course of the sixteenth century, were a late medieval development and reached their peak in the early Tudor age; they were still being acted, and actively remembered, until late in the century, Medieval drama in the Elizabethan Age 239 SELIM 20 (2013–2014)

That is to say, from the perspective of argument realisation, the number and form of the compulsory complements of a verb is restricted by the meaning component of the verb in question, whereas from the perspective of class membership “verbs that fall into classes according to shared behavior would be expected to show Old English verbs of prohibition 3 shared meaning components” (Levin 1993: 5).

Johnson has noted significant differences with traditional and contemporary representations of this theme and, analyzing iconographic details in the light of Old English homiletic literature, has concluded that the scene is rather a vision of indi- vidual judgement at the moment of death and represents the efficacy of inter- cessory prayer.1 This re-interpretation can be further refined through a com- parison with the 12th century Latin miracle of the monk of St. Peter’s at Cologne, which constitutes a very close parallel to the central register of the Stowe drawing.

  The Book of Margery Kempe, then, demonstrates rhetorical similarities in its use of dream discourse and discourse on women with the texts of earlier English visionary women, and I argue that this rhetorical continuity shows the continued importance of dream theory across the Middle Ages in the authorization of women, even a& er the resurgence of a doctrine of discernment of spirits. Christina “manfully” resists “the desires of her fl esh,” and through fasting and scourging she “tamed her lascivious body” (Talbot 1998: 115)Up to this point in the narrative, Christina’s female body has fi gured prominently, but this passage draws great attention to the discourse of misogyny, as Christina becomes the temptress of the cleric, burns with the ravenous sexual desire that marks all women in this paradigm, and can only resist the demands of her female body 143 Visions, power, and Margery Kempe SELIM 18 (2011) by becoming “manly” in her self-discipline.23 Not surprisingly, however, Christina’s relief comes % om divine dreams.

summary:
  The religious emphasis given to procreation and the lack of reliable contraception ensured that the lives of many women were dominated by a cycle of pregnancy and childbirt h. There was little chance of special treatment, except for the restrictive kind, due to superstitions and tra - ditional beliefs dating from the Romans and Greeks, and antenatal care was almost non-existent. If we also take into account the fact that many women fasted as a religious penance, for example Margery Kempe, it is easy to see that pregnancy was beset with risks and suffering that would affect the behaviour of any woman.

summary:
  Therefore, if on the one hand, The Book of Margery Kempe could be regarded as exemplary of the “vague, confused, agmentary” style of female autobiography, on the other hand, many critics still prefer to adjust its limits to the model of a specific kind of biographyhagiography. Formally, the main difference between them rests on the presence or absence of correlation between character and narrator, since otherwise both modes coincide in being individual life accounts written for the public consumption. : A 191 Confession and Gossip in The Book of Margery Kempe Selim  () Companion to The Book of Margery Kempe.

  In the most iconic swallowing episode of the Bible, a reptile sea-monster or kētos swallows the prophet Jonah, and his three-day-long captivity within the monster’s belly was then typologically interpreted in the Gospels as a prefiguration of Christ’s own passion and death before resurrection (Mt 12:3842 and Lk 11:2932).52 Notably, the Jonah cycle is the single most widespread iconographic motif in the pre-Constantine church,53 and the sea monster that swallows the prophet is often depicted as a giant reptile.54 49 G.

  SELIM03.pdf 124 Rubén Valdés, Selim 3 (1993): 117-148 THE WONDER TALE PATTERN OF SIR ORFEO The medieval English lay of Sir Orfeo has a long and complex history linking it to sources and antecedents in various cultures: the Hellenistic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, its interpretation by Boethius, King Alfred’s Old English translation of Boethius, the influence of Gaelic and Welsh legend, and Anglo -Norman romance narrative. The ballad is probably a far derivation of some un- known version of Sir Orfeo or of the Scottish King Orphius, through a long process of oral transmission, and its existence is a witness to the grip and durability of the medieval lay in the mind of traditional tellers and singers.

  The interaction of these elements in the communication act reveals, Camargo says, “… that the tensions masked by the dictatores’ confident as - sertion of the three officially sanctioned functions of a letter were actually felt by medieval “writers” and “readers” of letters” (9). Georgiana Donavin reinforces this opinion in her collaboration, “Locating a Public Forum for the Personal Letter in Malory’s Morte Darthur” (19-36), and emphasises the importance that even Malory grants to this epistolary art, including a series of letters in his Morte Darthur (1469).

  As we know the tales in Il Deccamerone are told using a static frame, while those in The Canterbury Tales move inside a dynamic one. In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales there are two basic authenticating devices: the dream-vision pattern that helps to establish the distance between dream and reality, in the opposite way as Bloomfield suggests, and the individual interplay of the pilgrims, as Kittredge explains it, but considered as a dramatis personae not as narrative characters.

  Hogg, Richard (General Ed.) (1992): The Cambridge History of the English Language. Volume I: The Beginnings to 1066, Edited by Richard M. HogG. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

summary:
  Hogg’s discussion of the sources for Old English is masterly: by sticking to the highly commendable habit of making a critical analysis of the evidence available prior to drawing any conclusion from its study, he not only gives a lesson in historical linguistics research in general, but also emphasizes an aspect of earlier stages of English we some times tend to forget: that what we are bound to find in any case is a distorted image, but although the ultimate reasons for this are beyond our control (a limited and unexpandable body of data) there is still a great degree of distortion produced in the different stages of scholarly work (i.e. text editing) regarding which we should be both aware and exigent. It is not sur- prising, therefore, that crucial innovations in IndoEuropean studies should be omitted (Meillet’s, Trubetzkoy’s or, as usual, Spanish works) or that, when others are mentioned (the discovery of Hittite, f.i.), they are just ig nored when coming to the actual reconstruction of the Germanic ancestry of Old English.

The firmly rooted concept of loyalty within the Germanic comitatus about which Tacitus talks in chapter XIII of his Germania, plays as well an important role in the conduct of epic heroes.

  The abundance of fig ures in many chapter —for example chapters 4 (19 figures), 7 (19 figures) and 9 (15 figures)— is also worth commenting, because all of them are impeccable and very useful. Reviews, S. G. Fernández-Corugedo ____________________________________________________________________ 168 Another minor point that concerns the list of references is both a strong dependency on English-speaking sources: although this is not just normal, it is also natural in the sense that the book is aimed at younger students, and a scarcity of recent items: there are less than 10 books or articles later than 1992 out of some 430 entries. Thus I have been unable to find al- lusions to R. Hogg’s books on Old English (1992a, 1992b) or on metrical pho- nology, or to Denison’s English Historical Syntax (1993), and I am also un- able to procure myself information about other specific bibliography on either Reviews: Anthony Fox 1995 ____________________________________________________________________ 167 the history of English or on that of any other major Western language from the sources quoted in the book (not even on German, being Dr. Fox’s main foreign field —see Fox 1984—, unless we may consider that Grimm’s Deut- sche Grammatik and other 19th c monographs quoted are quite enough).

  Hence the cruelty of husbands to their wives in Griselda stories: first attracted to them by the girl’s beauty, that is, by lust, they subsequently made her compensate with human worth for what she had not been able to provide materially as a bride. To sum up, Griselda type stories in their various aspects not only drama - tise the culture of wifely obedience and sisterly rivalry, but also imagine some solutions and alternatives within their patriarchal order.

  SELIM09.doc Alicia Rodríguez, Selim 9 (1999): 11—20 SEGMENTATION OF 15TH-CENTURY LEGAL TEXTS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PUNCTUATION Until now most of the studies on punctuation of late Middle English manu- scripts have dealt with literary or religious works, and the main concern has been to discern whether the ultimate end of punctuation marks was to in dic- ate pauses ”used on a rhetorical, liturgical or oral basis “ (Blake, 1977: 67) or to set off sense units; in other words, to decide if pauses were rhetorical or grammatical. In leases, for Alicia Rodríguez 14 example, the warranty clause expresses the owner’s willingness to defend the rights of the lessee: & also yer sall no catell bot horse com with in ye Orcharde And also ye sam X and Y ar agreyd at ye sall no catell bot horse com with in ye orchard and in marriage articles, especially after the 15th century, a formula expres sed the bridegrooms’ fathers’ renunciation of all his properties except a rent or an estate for his maintenance: And the said John the fadir schall alene no land ne rent that come or schall come to hym be any of his auncestr And the said John Trolhope thelder shal not alien eny landes or tenementes that now er comen or shal come to hym by the disceesse of eny of his auncestres We started this paper dealing with the role of punctuation, but given the evidence that the use of punctuation marks was not at all consistent, we decided to look for other marks of segmentation.

  The knowledge about a Germanic oral literature tradition like that of the later Icelandic sagas has led scholars to the hypothesis that the Anglo- Saxon Chronicle entry for the year 755 could be the product of a similar Germanic oral literature tradition which may have also existed in Anglo-Saxon England. Ignacio Murillo López 86 According to Towers, “The story of Cynewulf and Cyneheard, the Anglo- Saxon Chronicle entry for 755, is unique among the pre-Alfredian entries both for its artfulness and for its complexity”1 (1963: 310); and, as White has remarked, “In an unusually lengthy entry for the year 757, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle recounts a complex and well-crafted story, which the chronicler and his contemporaries presumably found interesting, dramatic, and perhaps even instructive and which modern scholars have never tired of retelling”2 (1989: 1).

Like other books of this kind it is a compilation of ‘the doctryne gyuen by many auctors’, military advice drawn from a number of sources, classical and medieval.

  In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales there are two basic authenticating devices: the dream-vision pattern that helps to establish the distance between dream and reality, the self and the percepction of the self, in the opposite way as Bloomfield suggests, and the individual interplay of the pilgrims, as Kittredge explains it, but considered as a “dramatis per- sonae” not as narrative characters. In fact, the controversies that have traditionaly preoccupied Chaucer criticism have focused not on the legitimacy of this procedure but rather on the terms of its practice.

  Nearly all the wills come from between the middle of the tenth century and the Conquest, and nearly all owe their preservation to their containing bequests to the abbeys of Abingdon, Bury St. Edmunds, Christ Church, Canterbury and Winchester.1 Whitelock argues that written wills were more common than the existing manuscript distribution would indicate: “that great numbers of wills from Anglo-Saxon times have perished is shown not only by fairly frequent references in Anglo-Saxon documents from the ninth century onwards to wills no longer extant, but also by the distribution of those wills which have survived” (Whitelock 1930: xli). Michael Drout 16 If an individual’s identity is in part constituted by his or her ability to influence other individuals, then the post-mortem influence enabled by written wills is a means of perpetuating individual identity after death.

As for compound nouns, they imply, by definition, a condensation of the information, because the procedure of the formation of compound nouns en- tails the suppression of superfluous elements, such as prepositions, which do not add any significant information.

  To conclude with, and after all which has been alleged, we can state that reli- gion has been nearly omnipresent in the history of drama, from its very be- ginning, and that the Church, especially, played an essential, though also paradoxical, role in the incipient medieval drama, to the extent that it went on exerting its influence until the end of the 16th century, when, at the height of their aesthetic achievement, morality plays were suppressed in England, mainly because religious drama was beginning to degenerate into an instru - ment of politico-religious propaganda under successive Roman Catholic and Protestant governments. The characteristic of Greek drama that emphasizes its universal scale is the interaction between chorus and protagonist.

  The Locative Uses of the Preposition at in the Old English Version of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People: A Cognitive Approach

summary:
  When the speakers have visual information of the interior of the landmark, other prepositions rather than at are used, instead in is preferred if a relationship of enclosure holds. The advent of cognitive linguistics has brought about a remarkable interest in the semantic properties of prepositions.

  Moreover, literary works written after the Rose cannot all be derived from the Rose when they are closely related to other vernacular works, even though these works themselves are of course connected to the Rose. It is misleading for Knox to assert, however, that traces of the Rose can be found throughout medieval English literature, or that the Rose is the fons et origo of them.

In the dreamscape, the narrator partially overcomes her sense of isolation by speaking to other women, contravening her difference and separation from them while continuing to articulate the storyline.

  The other interesting assumption —not so widely held— in the context of “categorization” and “metaphysics” applied to medieval English is the construction of many of the foundations of the history of the English language on myths: “communally shared narratives told in the construction of an idelological set of beliefs” (Watts 2011: 10), affecting, in this case, the 2 In the case of historical sociolinguistics, the limitations of data also impinge on the stylistic, social, and demographic information available: the impossibility of having access to the social and communicative contexts in which language was produced and received and to the characteristics of the society where the relevant speech acts were produced, as well as the lack of knowledge on the socio-demographic background of informants —age, gender, education, social status, social networks— which often remains hidden behind the anonimity of texts. In this context, “categorization” draws into how the object of research known as medieval English is recognised, differentiated and understood, i.e. “constructed through interpretation and classification of the linguistic record by means of varying practical and theoretical concerns” (p. 7).

  The apposition of Christian and pagan myth in Beowulf1 Connor Lawhorn Independent scholar The first half of Beowulf’s speech before the dragon fight (lines 2425-2471) has often been referred to as the most pagan part of the poem, possibly containing an allusion to the god Odin and his sons Hothr and Baldr. This article, however, proposes a new Christian context for this passage, identifying, in Beowulf’s description of a hanged son on the gallows, a hitherto unnoticed allusion to Christ’s passion, evinced by a verbal association between the gallows and Christ in Old English poetry, and a broader syncretism between Odin, Baldr, and Christ in Viking-Age Anglo-Scandinavian culture.

  The notion of lexical template has been integrated in the Lexical Grammar Model framework for lexical analysis as a way of representing the interaction between syntax and semantics within lexical classes. In consonance with this, this theory puts forward a procedure of lexical representation by means of an inventory of lexical templates and lexical mapping rules which will enable us to account for the syntactic configuration of a given predicate.

  However, given that this work examines the semantic relationships established in the lexical paradigms of Old English verbs, the significance of the distinct semantic relationships is different. The analysis data consist of 328 lexical paradigms of Old English strong verbs, including 328 lexical primes and 1,181 derived verbs.

  Philip Perry's Manuscript Sketch of British History (c. 1770): Editing a Vallisoletan Historical Record of Early Britain

summary:
  The Group is currently working on the edition of one of the manuscripts kept in the College Archive —Sketch of British History, an ecclesiastical history of early Britain written in the 18th century by former College Rector Philip Perry. The Scottish Archives hold ten manuscript volumes by Philip Perry, all but one of which coincide either in title or in subject matter with the Valladolid texts.13 The parallelism between the Valladolid and the Edinburgh papers is one we are currently examining, but this early we are almost certain that the Edinburgh versions of the texts with similar title kept in Valladolid are the final versions of the San Albano drafts.14 In any case, Michael Williams gives some evidence as to how the works could have reached Scotland: John Geddes, Rector of the Scots College in Valladolid and a friend of Perry's with similar bibliophile interests, would have mediated after the English Rector's death to have the books transferred to the Isles since he thought that those revised final versions merited publication (1983:

As Thomas himself indicates in the beginning of the book, the vitality of canon law in Langland’s critical and creative imagination of church and society as he sees it in Piers Plowman challenges David Aers’ reading of Piers Plowman as an anti-Constantinian poem committed to a church beyond a princely prelacy and its worldly possessions and powers (p. 24).

summary:
  Taking into consideration previous research carried out on positive aesthetic experience (Minaya 2021) and on the potentially negative side of wonder (Minaya 2022), this paper explores three different and interconnected domains of WONDER in Old English verse. Therefore, wonder has to be understood with regards to the role that it plays in human processes of knowledge acquisition as well as in the literary dimension in which it has traditionally been analysed as regards the literature of entertainment.

I will try to show how both Doringen and Griselda denounced the constraints imposed by patriarchy and lived in a world as debilitating for women as early nineteenth-century Engliosh society.

One such concern on which Beowulf adaptations have especially focused is that of the gendered power structures that appear in the poem, in particular the tension between the patriarchal world of Heorot and the matriarchal mere and its female occupant, Grendel’s mother.

While Scragg opposes Whitbread’s earlier claim that Napier 29 and 30 were by the same author, he argues a close if not direct textual connection between Napier 29 and CCCC 201 in the adaptation of lines shared with Rewards.

John M.

  ‘The wickede secte of Saracenys’ – Lexico-semantic means of strengthening the English Christian Self in texts from the Middle English period

summary:
  Only a small number of monographs and papers have put their focus on the specifically English role during the crusading period and England’s special relationship with the Saracen: amongst these are Paull’s (1969, 1972) literary studies on the Saracen in Middle English texts, Metlitzki’s (1977) work discussing the significance of Arabic material in medieval English reception, and Tyerman’s (1988) extensive compilation of historical as well as political and social aspects of the crusades for England. Since the Saracen is generally treated as the villain and complementary evil counterpart to the Christian self in Middle English texts, one could assume for 13 The CMEPV is not even exhaustive so that it would indeed have made a difference in the census in favor of Saracen-tokens, if works such as the 14th-century King of Tars, Of Arthour and of Merlin (e.g. Calkin 2004), or the late 14th-/early 15th-century romances Sir Ferumbras and The Sowdone of Babylone had been incorporated.
