Study of Hitherto Unedited Late-Medieval Religious Writings in Western Manuscripts

这个项目的目的是研究、评估和编辑西方手稿中迄今未编辑的中世纪晚期宗教著作，主要是剑桥抹大拉学院的佩皮斯2125号手稿和剑桥圣约翰学院的G.31号手稿。本项目关于P的结果如下：《迪米特·我，夫人，...(项目3)已完成，并已被中世纪研究中心(多伦多大学)接受下一期。正文附有广泛的文本和其他注释，并附有导言，对包含正文的手稿进行系统的讨论，然后是正文的结构、类比、日期、风格和受众。我还提交了一篇论文，讨论了一种典型的中世纪晚期白话著作的文本编译方法，比较了庆应大学霍普顿大厅的P(第12项，“圣巴巴拉斯的教导”)和伦敦大英图书馆的MS Additional 37049中的相关文本。MS G由单一文本组成--《创世纪》的中英文译本，夹杂着从彼得·康姆斯特翻译的拉丁历史[HS]和原始增补中翻译的注释。这也要归功于瓜亚德·德穆林斯的《圣经史记》，这是《圣经》的中世纪法语译本，增加了圣经文本，以及彼得·里加的《极光》，这也是当时流行的基于《圣经》的格律圣经故事。鉴于15世纪和16世纪对白话翻译的严重的主教迫害，我们必须得出结论，这是向俗人传播圣经文本的一次独特和非常重要的尝试。翻译流畅，更加地道，涵盖了《创世纪》圣经文本的大部分内容。我编辑这个版本的建议已经被中世纪英语文本(海德堡大学)接受。这一版本还将包括HS的文本和MS Royal 19.D.III的圣经史料。

This project aimed to research, assess, and edit hitherto unedited late medieval religious writings in Western Manuscripts, mainly in MS Pepys 2125, Magdalene College Cambridge [P], and MS G.31, St. John's College, Cambridge [G].The results of this project concerning P are as follows : an edition of "Dimitte me, Domine,... " (item 3) has been completed and accepted by the Mediaeval Studies (Toronto University) for the next issue. The text is accompanied by extensive textual and other notes, and by an introduction, with a systematic discussion of the manuscript containing the text, then the text's structure, analogues, date, style, and audience. I also presented a paper discussing a method of textual compilation typical to late medieval vernacular writings, comparing related texts in P (item 12, "Toaching of St Barnabas"), MS Hopton Hall, Keio University, and MS Additional 37049, British Library, London.MS G consists of a single text-a Middle English translation of the Book of Genesis, interspersed with glosses translated from the Latin Historia scholastica [HS by Peter Comestor and the original additions. It also owes to Guyard Desmoulins' La Bible historiale, a medieval French translation of the HS with additional biblical texts and Peter Riga's Aurora, also a then popular metrical Bible story based on the HS. In the light of the sever episcopal persecution of vernacular translations in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, we must conclude that this is a unique and very important attempt to disseminate scriptural text to lay people. The translation is smooth and more idiomatic, and covers most of the biblical text of the Book of Genesis. My proposal to edit this version has been accepted by the Middle English Texts (Heidelberg University). This edition will also include the texts of the HS and the Bible historiale from MS Royal 19.D.III.
