by Tadashi Kotake (Author)
This study presents an edition of Farman's Old English interlinear gloss (Rushworth One) in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Auct. D. 2. 19 (The Rushworth, or MacRegol, Gospels). The edition, which is designed to be used together with online facsimiles of the manuscript (from the Digital Bodleian), prints both the Latin text and the Old English glosses, along with a critical apparatus collating the Latin text with standard editions of the Vulgate Gospels and with the Lindisfarne Gospels. The introduction discusses the history of the manuscript and then presents a detailed examination of Farman's gloss, focused on its textual, linguistic and palaeographical features. The edited texts are followed by a full commentary and a glossary.
