A Computer-assisted Quantitative Comparison of the Published Editions of Troilus and Criseyde

我们对《特洛伊罗斯与克雷塞德》的以下四个版本进行了比较：本森的《滨江乔叟》（波士顿：霍顿米夫林，1987年），F.N.罗宾逊的作品杰弗里乔叟（波士顿：霍顿米夫林，1957年），R.K.根的特洛伊罗斯和Criseyde的书（Princeton：Princeton UP，1926），and B.A.Windeatt's Troilus and Criseyde：'The Book of Troilus' by Geoffrey Chaucer（伦敦&纽约：朗曼，1984）.本森和罗宾逊的版本是基于Cp menoppt（科珀斯克里斯蒂学院，剑桥，MS第61号）。根的版本是编辑从两个手稿：CP手稿和J手稿（圣约翰学院，剑桥，MS L1）。温德厄特的版本是对《红楼梦》手稿的复制，在本研究中，我们使用了与我们的《坎特伯雷故事集》项目相同的方法。我们首先有必要使四个相应的线，从每个版本之一，我们已经取得了本森的版本比较的基础。我们保留了原始版本中出现的所有标点符号，因为它们可能表明编辑对乔叟句法的不同解释。在本书的第一部分“不同单词形式的行”中，我们列出了包含一个或多个不同单词和拼写的所有行，包括大小写差异。在第二部分“词形对应索引”中，我们对对应的词集作了一个按序排列的词索引。该索引使得快速、全面地检查每个词集成为可能。我们现在正在准备“交叉引用”，以便更容易地对每个版本进行比较。目前的清单包括基本材料，进一步定量和定性研究的差异，拼写和词汇之间的四个版本。我们试图通过澄清四个版本之间的文本异同，为乔叟的文本批评做出贡献。

We have undertaken a comparison of the following four editions of Troilus and Criseyde : Benson's The Riverside Chaucer (Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1987), F.N.Robinson's The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer (Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1957), R.K.Root's The Book of Troilus and Criseyde (Princeton : Princeton UP,1926), and B.A.Windeatt's Troilus and Criseyde : 'The Book of Troilus' by Geoffrey Chaucer (London & New York : Longman, 1984). Benson's and Robinson's editions are based upon the Cp menuscript (Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, MS No.61). Root's edition is edited from the two manuscripts : the Cp manuscript and the J manuscript (St.Johns College, Cambridge, MS L1). Windeatt's edition is a copy-text of the Cp manuscript.In this study, we have used the same method as we did in our Canterbury Tales project. It has been first necessary for us to make the four corresponding lines, taking one from each of the editions, after we have made Benson's edition the basis for comparison. We have left all punctuation marks intact as they appear in the original editions, because they may indicate the editors' different interpretations of Chaucer's syntax. In part I "Lines With Different Word Forms" of the present book, we have listed all the lines which contain one or more different words and spellings including upper/lower case differences. In Part II "Word Form Correspondence Index" we have made an alphabetically ordered word index to the sets of corresponding words. This index makes it possible to check every word set quickly and comprehensively. We are now preparing for "Cross-References" in order to make the comparison for each edition easier. The present list comprises the basic material for a further quantitative and qualitative study of the differences in spelling and vocabulary among the four editons. We have tried to make a contribution to Chaucerian texutal criticism by clarifying the textual similarities and differences among the four editions.
