The Editing of Old English
Angebote / Angebote:
The second exemplifies a variety of textual problems that arise in the editing of Old English poetry and displays some of the methods that may prove useful in dealing with them. The third considers and confronts the uncertainties in scholarly emendations of what may either be scribal error and shorthand or obscure linguistic variants. Three exemplary editions of texts comprise the book's final part. In the first the author tries to provide an edition which, in presenting the text, acknowledges its contextual interaction with adjacent items in the original manuscript. The two subsequent editions address the problems, for the editor and for the reader, of identifying the integrity of the text amid the interventions of the medieval scribes.
