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

本项目旨在研究、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MS Pepys 2125，剑桥大学抹大拉学院[P]和MS G.31，剑桥大学圣约翰学院[G]。这个项目关于P的结果如下：“Dimitte me, Domine，…”“（项目3）已完成并被《中世纪研究》（多伦多大学）接受为下一期。文本附有广泛的文本和其他注释，并附有介绍，系统地讨论了包含文本的手稿，然后是文本的结构，类似物，日期，风格和受众。我还发表了一篇论文，讨论了中世纪晚期白话作品的典型文本编辑方法，比较了P（项目12，“圣巴纳巴斯的教学”），MS Hopton Hall，庆应义塾大学和MS Additional 37049，大英图书馆，伦敦的相关文本。MS G由单一文本组成——中世纪英语翻译的《创世纪》，穿插着Peter Comestor从拉丁语《scholastica Historia》翻译的注释和原始的补充。它还归功于Guyard Desmoulins的La Bible historiale，这是中世纪法语翻译的HS，增加了圣经文本，以及Peter Riga的Aurora，也是当时流行的基于HS的格律圣经故事。鉴于15和16世纪主教对白话翻译的严重迫害，我们必须得出结论，这是一个独特的，非常重要的尝试，向平信徒传播圣经文本。翻译流畅，更加地道，涵盖了《创世纪》的大部分圣经文本。我编辑这个版本的建议已被海德堡大学的中古英语文本所接受。这个版本还将包括HS和MS皇家19.D.III圣经历史的文本。

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.
