A Textual Study of The Faerie Queene (Books I-VII)

本研究的目的是重新审视所有七本书的文本的仙后，考虑到最近的书目数据的工作，并根据我们的编辑原则W.W.格雷格的理论基础上复制文本。为了实现这一目的，我们选择了1590年第一版的第一至第三卷、1596年第一版的第四至第六卷和第一至第七卷（《可变的两章》）作为基础文本，并将它们编译成机器可读的文本文件。我们纠正和修订这些早期文本中的错误，将它们与随后的旧版本进行核对，偶尔也会参考现代版本，如J.C.史密斯的牛津版和埃德温·格林劳、C. G.奥斯古德和F. M.帕德尔福德的《集注》版。在编辑文本时，我们做了详细的文本注释，以显示与基础（副本）文本的每一处偏离，包括拼写和标点符号。我们还对新闻变体进行了调查。我们整理了12个 ...更多信息 1590年的夸托（书I-III），1596年夸托的14份（第四至第六册）和1609年的《圣经》（仅限第七册）并列出了印刷变体，其中一些是新的发现。对“印刷品中逃逸的错误”或附在1590年夸托的勘误表的分析揭示了谁可能制作了它，以及斯宾塞可能走了多远。参与了校对工作。详情请参见《关于《仙后》1590年夸托勘误的说明》，《金城学院大学教授的著作与研究》，169.38，第105 -130页。本文还讨论了理查德·菲尔德的排字师在多大程度上遵守了“格律拼写”规则。在另一篇用日语写的文章中，并为日本斯宾塞协会成员即将出版的斯宾塞研究书（将于1997年6月出版）做出了贡献，我们研究了排字工人对押韵拼写的处理，并得出结论，他们并不认为不规则的视觉押韵是特别错误的，他们觉得没有必要纠正。少

The purpose of the present research is to reexamine the texts of all the seven books of The Faerie Queene, taking recent bibliographical data on the work into consideration and basing our editorial principle on W.W.Greg's rationale of copy-text. In order to achieve this purpose, we have chosen as base texts the first edition of 1590 for Books I-III,the first edition of 1596 for Books IV-VI and the first folio edition for Book VII (Two Cantos of Mutabilitie), and compiled them into machine-readable text files. We corrected and emended errors in these early texts, collating them with subsequent old editions and occasionally consulting modern editions such as the Oxford Edition by J.C.Smith and the Variorum Edition by Edwin Greenlaw, C.G.Osgood and F.M.Padelford. In editing the texts, we made detailed textual notes to show every departure from the base (copy) texts, including spelling and punctuation. We also carried out investigations into press variants. We have collated twelve differen … More t copies of the 1590 quarto (Books I-III), fourteen copies of the 1596 quarto (Books IV-VI) and seven copies of the 1609 folio (Book VII only) and made a list of press variants, some of which are new findings.An analysis of the 'Faults Escaped in the Print' or the list of errata appended to the 1590 Quarto revealed who might have made it and how far Spenser might have been involved in proofreading. For details see "A Note on the Errata on the 1590 Quarto of The Faerie Queene, " Treatises and Studies by the Faculty of Kinjo Gakuin University, 169.38, pp.105-130. The paper also discusses to what extent Richard Field's compositors observed the rule about 'metrical spelling'. In another article written in Japanese and contributed to a forthcoming book of Spenserian studies (which is to be published in June, 1997) by the members of Spenser society of Japan, we examined the compositors' treatment of rhyme spellings and concluded that they did not regard irregular visual rhymes as particularly faulty and that they felt no need for correcting.
