A Study of Northern English Vocabulary in Medieval Latin Texts: The Case of the Durham Account Rolls

Amanda Roig-Marín

Page range: 163-189

Abstract

This article draws on previous work on word geography in Northern Middle English and Early Modern English, which has made use of English monolingual sources, and, for the first time, applies it to the vocabulary present in multilingual texts whose matrix language is Medieval Latin, in this case, the Durham Account Rolls ( DAR ) . Taking a database of c . 380 lexical items culled from the DAR as its basis, it proposes a taxonomy for the study of northern vernacular vocabulary on the grounds of different kinds of evidence: orthographic (words exhibiting northern orthography), textual (words recorded in northern manuscripts), semantic (words for northern concepts) and diachronic development (words established as northern in later forms of English). It highlights the role of dictionaries such as the OED , MED and DOST in constructing our understanding of what is meant by ‘northern’ and emphasises how often it might be essential to revise the lexicographical labels of these dictionaries. More importantly, it underscores the potential of multilingual texts in enlarging the body of historical sources, traditionally in monolingual English, used for lexicographical and lexicological research.

The Use of Norse Loanwords in Late Old English Historical Poems

Angelika Lutz

Page range: 190-223

Abstract

The use of Norse loanwords in Old English poetry seems to be restricted to historical poems in praise of prominent contemporaries. It is demonstrated that the few Norse loans in these poems neither contribute to the laudatory character of such texts nor serve as new, additional means of stylistic enrichment. Instead, the Norse loans in these late Old English historical poems can be shown to have been used to add factual plausibility to such poems as historical texts. This contrasts with the use of Norse loanwords in Middle English poems.

English Portions of the Marriage ordo in Manuscripts of German Provenance: An Edition of Two Middle English Texts in Hanover, Stadtbibliothek, Mag. 3, and Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 705

Dirk Schultze

Page range: 224-261

Abstract

The two manuscripts under discussion are testimonies of two processes, both understudied: first, the codification of English portions in the marriage liturgy in late-medieval England, and secondly, the exchange of manuscripts between England and continental Europe in the later Middle Ages up to and including the sixteenth century. The English fragments in Hanover, Stadtbibliothek, Mag. 3, were reused in Germany in the late fifteenth century, while the Sarum missal in Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 705, must have travelled to its current repository in the late sixteenth century. Through the English portions contained in them, they contribute in unique ways to a corpus of marriage-related English micro-texts that can be sourced mainly from liturgical manuscripts and early prints. In what follows, I shall offer a description of the two manuscripts and provide information about their provenance and the transmission to their current German repositories. The English portions and relevant extracts from the Latin are being edited here for the first time, and I will situate them within the corpus of extant English marriage ordines.
