Isidorian Influences In Ælfric's Preface To Genesis, Brandon W. Hawk
Isidorian Influences In Ælfric's Preface To Genesis, Brandon W. Hawk
Faculty Publications
In this article, I propose Isidore of Seville’s Etymologiae as a source for three passages in Ælfric’s Preface to Genesis. With these source identifications established, I further develop the argument to claim that Isidorian techniques are a key influence on Ælfric’s assumptions about biblical language, translation, and interpretation as reflected in the Preface. Such assumptions, in fact, inform the vernacular pedagogical project at the heart of the Preface as an introduction to his translation of Genesis into Old English.
The Expositio In Epistolas Beati Pauli Ex Operibus S. Augustini By Florus In Strasbourg, Bnu Ms.0.309, Brandon W. Hawk
The Expositio In Epistolas Beati Pauli Ex Operibus S. Augustini By Florus In Strasbourg, Bnu Ms.0.309, Brandon W. Hawk
Faculty Publications
The purpose of this article is to correct the catalogue description for Strasbourg, Bibliothéque Nationale et Universitaire MS.0.309. While the catalogue identifies the contents of the manuscript as a compilation of comments on Paul’s epistles collected by Bede, the work is actually a similar collection by Florus of Lyon. The article contains an overview of previous scholarship identifying and distinguishing these two collections, as well as a corrected description of the contents of Strasbourg 309 based on the author’s examination.
