Liturgy and the Ecclesiastical History of Late Anglo-Saxon England: Four Studies by David N. Dumville

Dumville. [Studies in Anglo-Saxon (Rochester,NewYork: The Boydell Press. 1992. Pp. x, 193. $59.00.) David N. Dumville's important collection of previously unpublished essays on matters related to the English liturgy during the tenth and eleventh centuries is dedicated to Helmut Gneuss,"on his sixty-fifth birthday in gratitude for his formidable contributions to the study of Anglo-Saxon liturgy and manuscripts." Such a tribute to Professor Gneuss is appropriate, for his work on liturgical manuscripts is central to the contemporary study of the English liturgy; equally central, however, are Dumville's own studies on the provenances and interrelationships of ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-century manuscripts, and the collection of studies under review presupposes access, if not indeed familiarity, with Dumville's Wessex and England from Alfred to Edgar and English Caroline Script and Monastic History, volumes three and six respectively in the Studies in Anglo-Saxon History series, as well as his important essays on "English Square minuscule script" in volumes 16 and 23 of Anglo-Saxon England. The first study, "The Kalendar of the Junius Psalter," examines the neglected kalendar (fols. 2'-7) of Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS. Junius 27, the so-called "Junius Psalter." The feasts in this kalendar that were graded high are indicated by hexametrical verses which replicate the lines in a metrical martyrology, sometimes known as the "Hampson" martyrology, the earliest surviving manuscript of which is London, British Library, MS. Cotton Galba A.xviii. Dumville constructs an elaborate but plausible hypothesis which suggests Canterbury as the probable point of origin of both the metrical martyrology and the liturgical material in the Junius Psalter's kalendar, which therefore allows the attribution of MS. Junius 27 to Canterbury In "The Liturgical Kalendar of Anglo-Saxon Glastonbury: a Chimaera?" Dumville argues that the kalendar of Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS. Bodley 579, the "Leofric Missal," does not derive from a Glastonbury original, but from Canterbury His case for freeing the kalendar from Glastonbury is strong, indeed, since the Glastonbury attribution was constructed on a scholarly repetition of E E. Warren's flawed argument for such an origin when he edited the Leofric Missal in 1883; the case for attributing the kalendar to Canterbury remains, as Dumville admits, to be proven. The third article, entitled "Liturgical Books for the Anglo-Saxon Episcopate: A Reconsideration," begins with Gneuss's data concerning only those books which would have been used by a bishop or archbishop, to which Dumville adds a brief essay on relevant paleographical and codicological considerations for each book. …

Por cierto, no queremos terminar sin un comentario a la actuación o comportamiento del "editor" de la revista Numisma. Cuando se hace llegar una recensión como la firmada por Pliego es una norma académica habitual (quizás desconocida por el "editor") permitir a los autores objeto de la recensión leerla y defenderse en un texto que se incluye en el mismo número.

Hypertext, in the last days of the book

Already we no longer believe, as it was believed from Aristotle to La Harpe, that art is an imitation of nature, and where the classics sought above all a fine resemblance, we seek on the contrary a radical originality and an absolute creation. The day when the Book ceases to be the principal vehicle of knowledge, will not literature have changed its meaning once again? Perhaps we are quite simply living through the last days of the book. (Gerard Genette) 1 . . . plan to throw one away; you will anyhow. (Frederick P. Brooks, Jr)2 PREHISTORY Is it possible that books are the preliminary, now inadequate design for organizing, containing and presenting our textuality, and that the new, improved design, superior to the old membrane or paper book, is the phenomenon we call 'hypertext'?3 In fact, hypertext is not new. 4 Studies in orality tell us that human language, in as primitive a form as we are justified in imagining it, was much less linear than literacy has forced the written language to become. This lack of a consistent linearity is the result of a rhetorical complexity in which blocks of discourse are linked to other blocks, and these to others, just as the automated teller machines at our banks offer us several operations to

Sources Studies, The Old English Guthlac A and the English Benedictine Reformation

Revue Bénédictine, Jul 1, 1993

Source studies," the methodology of determining the texts which the author of a subsequently writ... more Source studies," the methodology of determining the texts which the author of a subsequently written text may have employed, have not kept pace in Old English studies with the implications of semiological and poststructural theories of textuality and intertextuality; in fact, 1 believe that source studies may be headed in the same harmful, reactionary direction that Old English linguistics took when it chose to ignore developments in structural and generative linguistics. The outcome then was that Ashley Amos stunned the discipline in 1980 simply by collating contemporary linguistic theory with the assumptions underlying so-called "tests" for dating Old English poetry; she was able to show that the previously accepted dates of composition of most Old English texts rested on a logic of language authorized in nineteenth-century linguistics, but largely dismantled or contradicted in post-Saussurean linguistics (Linguistic Means of Determining the Dates of Old English Literary Texts, passim). Anglo-Saxonists are now engaged in numerous battles over the dates of their texts, because virtually all of the scholarship presupposes a context in which the poems once existed, and that context is dependent upon dating of the texts. Because developments in linguistic theory were ignored when linguistics was the discipline on which dating tests depended, so the dates which were established have become increasingly indefensible. Sorne of the traditional dates for Old English texts may yet prove to have been correct, but if so, they are correct for the wrong reasons. Since it is only the reasoning or logic leading to conclusions about dates, provenance, and sources which we can verify, then the theory which informs our logic must constantly be reexamined and compared with related developments in other areas of semiological and cultural studies. If Anglo-Saxonists are not to be similarly frustrated in the future by the relationships among our texts because of continuing discoveries infor examplethe nature of Anglo-Saxon intertextuality, we had better develop a theory of source study which accepts a full
