PREFACE

THIS edition of King Alfred s most personal and

therefore most important work, may be regarded as

a compromise, aiming as it does at meeting the wants

of the scientific investigator of Old English on the

one hand, and of the student of our literature on the

other. The former has long been calling for a text

which should faithfully reproduce the Cotton MS.,

and in offering him such a text I ask him to bear in

mind the difficulty of the task. Even when MSS.

are in perfect condition it is almost impossible to

avoid errors in copying, as will be readily granted by

those who have had experience of this kind of work;

but when, as in the case of the chief MS. of the Old

English Boetkius, fire and water have played havoc

with almost every page, the labour of deciphering and

the liability to error are immensely increased. Indi

vidual pages of this MS. have received as much as an

hour s scrutiny, and this scrutiny was repeated three

or even four times in a few instances. By taking

advantage of the rare intervals of London sunshine

during the winter and spring months, I found much

decipherable which in ordinary light would have re

mained hidden.



PREFACE

A fresh examination of this MS. by better eyes than

mine may show that a few more letters and words canbe made out, but I have made it a rule throughout

only to print as clear what I could see really distinctly.

It may be remarked here that as Professor Bright

in his Anglo-Saxon Reader gives some passages from

King Alfred s Boethius based on a fresh collation

with the Cotton MS., I have made a special re-colla

tion of his text with that MS.A complete edition of the Old English Boethius

would include not only the text of both the English

MSS., but also the Latin text, and perhaps a full

collection of marginal scholia and passages from Latin

Commentaries, to illustrate in detail King Alfred s

obligations to the work of others. In default of such

completeness it is hoped that the analysis by chapters

and sections given in the Introduction will be useful

in showing how far the King departs from his original.

The copious extracts from the article by the late

Dr. Schepss, whose untimely death removed one of the

chief authorities on the textual criticism of Boethius,

require but slight apology, as they throw what must

to many be a new light on King Alfred considered as

a maker of books. The facts known about this work

are not many, and such as they are will be found col

lected in the Introduction, varied with a discussion of

theories in the case of the Cotton Metra. These Metra,

though included in the complete glossary forming

part of Grein s Bibliothek der angelsachsischen Poesie,

are also indexed in the Glossary of the present work,

for the sake of completeness, especially as a number

of new readings of the Cotton MS. are now given for

the first time.



PREFACE ix

The Glossary, too, I have tried to make useful to

the student of OldEnglish

whorequires help

in his

reading, as well as to the phonologist, for whom it is

primarily meant.

The interesting question of the dialect of the Boethius

has not received more than a short notice, as it requires

for its proper elucidation more room and time than

I have been able to give.

My best thanks are due to Professor York Powellfor kind assistance in collating parts of the Bodleian

MS., and much sound advice;to Professor A. S. Napier

for supplying me with some valuable notes on several

points; to Professor Eduard Sievers for a communi

cation on the subject of dialect; to Ernst Kramer of

Bonn for the loan of his collation of the Cotton Metro,;

to Fran Professor Schepss of Speyer for kindly sendingme some notes by her late husband

;to Sir Edward

Maunde Thompson, and to Dr. Henry Sweet. Valu

able help was given in verifying the references in the

Glossary by twro ladies whose names I am asked not

to mention. Finally, I heartily thank the Rev. Dr.

W. W. Skeat, whose kindly criticism and encourage

ment have been invaluable to a junior worker in his

own field, who esteems himself fortunate to belong to

the University and College so long adorned by the

Ellington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon.

INTRODUCTION

i.

MSS.THE Old English version of Boethius treatise De

Consolatione Phiiosophiae is preserved, as far as is

known, in three MSS., one of which is but a small

fragment, and in one paper transcript.

1. The Cotton MS. (C) Otho A. vi (Wanley, p.

217) in the British Museum, bound up with a Latin

life of Edward the Confessor, per Ailredum, Abb.

Rievallisl contains a prose version of the Latin prose,

and an alliterating version of the Latin carmina.

It was injured in the fire which proved so disastrous

to the Cotton library in 1731, but the loose leaves

were rather more than a century later collected and

carefully mounted in an album. Wanley thus describes

this MS. as it was before the fire :

*

Codex membr.

in octavo grandiori, ex duobus simul compactis,

confectum (sic),in qtto continetur I fol. i Boethius de

Consolatione Phiiosophiae^ Saxonice per ^Elfredum

Regent versus, quo vivente^ aut salteni panllo post

obitnmeius^

hunc codicemscrip

turn credo

At the present time about three-quarters of the

whole remain, mostly legible, though some leaves can

only be properly read in a good light, and for a few

even direct sunlight is necessary. The leaves vary in

size from charred fragments a square inch or so in area

to almost perfect specimens ;but not one has quite

escaped the action of fire or water. It seems that thelatter element is responsible for most of the oblitera

tion, for parts merely charred are generally easy to

read by a strong transmitted light. There are now

1 29 leaves in C, the size of the most perfect being, on

the average, about yi by 4^ inches. The first three

leaves are missing, as well as one between fols. 79^

and 80 , and two between fols. 127 b and 128 a. Theusual number of lines to the page is 26 or 27, but

occasionally 28;and about 7 words go to the line.

The MS. is in one distinct and neat handwriting,

generally written with a fine pen. The writing varies

considerably in size, perhaps in part owing to the

unequal shrinking of the vellum under the influence

of intense heat, as it is frequently small at the top of

a page, and grows larger towards the bottom. There

is no formal division into chapters, but each of the

Metra begins a fresh line, with a large space left for

the initial capital, which has, however, not been

written. Illumination is entirely absent. Paragraphs

are generally marked by the use of small or medium

capitals, but these, like the marks of punctuation, are

not always logically used. Words are not run together,

but letters are frequently combined, especially certain

groups with the letter e, which has two forms, the short



MANUSCRIPTS xiii

and the tall. A few prefixes, especially ge- and be-,

are oftenseparated

from the main word;and some

common proclitics, such as ne^ are merged in the

following word, thus : nemceg.

Contractions are on the whole infrequent, especially

at the beginning of the book, though they increase in

number towards the end. The principal ones are

cw$=cwa$ (once or twice cwfi], ceftcefter, and now

and then fonn=fonne. The letter mis

not seldomreplaced by a stroke over the preceding vowel, espe

cially in dative forms. Punctuation, represented only

by the dot or full stop, is fairly frequent in the prose,

marking paragraphs rather than sentences;

but is

rarer in the verse, which is externally in no way

distinguished from prose. Of individual letters it

may be noticed that y has a short tail curved to the

left, and there is no dot above it;s is either f or f,

the form S only occurring as a capital. As a final.

d is used with few exceptions ; medially and initially

I probably predominates, except in pronominal forms.

Accents are rare, and occur chiefly on the adverb a,

the verbal prefix a-, and on god, good, which however

is generally written good.

Sir Edward Maunde Thompson believes C to have

been written shortly after the middle of the tenth

century, about 960-970 A.D. Dr. Henry Sweet, in

his Anglo-Saxon Reader, ascribes it to the beginning

of the tenth century, agreeing with Wanley, who saw it

before it was injured, and referred it, as we have seen,

to King Alfred s lifetime, or the period immediately

following his death.

2. The Bodleian MS. (B) ; (Wanley, p. 64), formerly

lettered on the back NE. .3. n, now numbered 180



xiv INTRODUCTION

(2079), contains 94 leaves of vellum. The 1 2 fragments

of another workformerly

bound

up

with this MS.

were in 1884 taken out of the binding, and are now

numbered Bodl. Add. D. 98. The vellum pages,

which have been much pared in parts, measure about

nj by 7f inches, and the written page fills a rectangle

of about 9 by 6 \ inches. With few exceptions there

are 24 lines of writing to the page, though as many as

27lines have been

frequently ruled,,and about 11 or

1 2 is the average number of words to the line. The

gatherings are of five or six plies each, and are generally

numbered for the binder, the numeralsi, ii, iiii, v, vii

being marked on fols. io , 110, 31 a, 41*2, 6ia respec

tively. B is written and corrected in a bold English

hand hardly earlier than the beginning of the twelfth

century. The text has initials in red, blue, purple andgreen, at the beginning of chapters, and occasionally

of sections, but these colours have not lasted as well

as the ordinary ink, which is of a very legible dark

brown. The writing grows rougher, and the vellum

worse towards the end of the book. The text-writer

has occasionally left small initials in the margin as

guides to the rubricator.

The text is divided into forty-two chapters by

Roman numerals written after the last word of the

preceding chapter on the same line, while sections

and paragraphs are marked by initial capitals of

medium size. Punctuation, represented by the dot,

is frequent, but not always logical. The mark of

interrogation occurs once or twice, closely resembling

the modern form(?).

Accents are rare, except on

one or two pages, where they have been sprinkled in

profusion in an undecided manner, perhaps by a later



MANUSCRIPTS xv

hand. The chief contractions are a stroke over vowels

denotingan omitted

m,and the form

Jjonfor

fionne,both being very common. A curly mark above the

line represents -ris in the words Papinianus and Apol-

linus (p. 66, 1. 30 and p. 116, 1.1).

Wester (p. 80, 1.18)

is written wcet with a mark over the / denoting -er.

The proper names Cancaseas (p. 43, 1.9),

Boetius

(p. 58, 1.29),

and Orfens (p. 101, 1.25),

are written

with initial capitals.

The original spelling is fairly well preserved in B

for so late a MS., but a number of errors have crept in,

letters and words being often omitted. In its text

B agrees on the whole pretty closely with C, of which

however it seems independent, and has moreover a table

of contents at the beginning. A prayer is added at

the end, written in a hand resembling that of the maintext, of which it may have been an imitation

1. A

close examination decides against the identity of the

two hands, which however may belong to the same

school of handwriting. This prayer seems hastily

written with a hard pen. One example of the con

tinental g occurs.

It may be here noticed that the fragments (Bodl.

MSS. Add. D. 98), formerly in the binding of

MS. 1 80, are part of a folio double-column digest,

apparently written in England in the beginning of the

fourteenth century, with glosses. The writing on one

of them in a sixteenth-century hand runs*

Boetius de

consolatide philosophiae translated into the Saxonic tug

by King Aelfred

3. A fragment (N) of a third MS. was discovered

This prayer is entered by Wanley in his Catalogue as a separate

work distinct from B, under the heading Oratio ad Deum.



xvi INTRODUCTION

in 1886 by Professor A. S. Napier, of Oxford, whose

transcript is printed with some words of introduction

(in German) in the Zeitschriftfiir deutsches Alterthum,

vol. xxxi. pp. 52-54 (vol. xix. part I, new series,

1887). Professor Napier says The following frag

ment of the Alfredian translation of Boethius in

a hand of the first half of the tenth century forms

the last leaf of MS. Bodl. 86. This leaf, which

evidentlyhas been used

previouslyin the

binding,was placed in its present position by the binder, and

originally belonged to a small folio Boethius MS.

The fragment formed the lower half of a leaf, and

judging by the part missing between the two sides

each page must have contained about thirty-eight

lines. The writing is in parts very indistinct, as the

lettersare frequently blurred

;

the parchmentis

also

perforated here and there, so that some letters are

quite gone.

Some years ago N was taken out and bound

separately, but it has since been temporarily mislaid,

so that the present editor has not been able to see it.

The words in Professor Napier s transcript, which

accurately represents the MS., are much run together,

and no capitals are used. Contractions and accents

are relatively frequent. The vowels a and o, following

h, m, and;z,

are in some cases formed by a looped

prolongation of the last stroke of these consonants

below the line, a characteristic of the age of the

fragment.

The relations of the MSS. are conjecturally repre

sented in the following diagram, where A represents

the archetype of B, C, and perhaps of N, and A1

stands for the archetype of the Cotton Metra.

4. In the Bodleian library there is also a transcript

(Jun. 12) of B, made by Franciscus Junius, with his

selection of the more notable C variants in the margin ;

also a good copy which he made of the Cott. Metra.

As Junius made these excerpts and copy of C before

the latter MS. was injured by fire, his readings are

often our only authority for it. The whole of the

transcript with the printed Latin text pasted in, and

occasional notes by Junius, are bound up in one large

folio volume. Wanley (Catalogue, p. 80) states that

among the MSS. presented to the chapter of Exeter

Cathedral by Bishop Leofric in the eleventh century

was an Old English version of the De Consolatione,

known as Boeties boc on englisc. Of its subsequent

history we know nothing, unless perchance it was one

of the MSS. just described. It is probable that such

a popular work as the De Consolatione would have

been frequently copied in its English dress during the

tenth and eleventh centuries, so that it is somewhat

surprising that only two perfect MSS. have reached

modern times.

ii. PresentEdition.

The present edition contains the three parts of the

extant Old English version of the De Consolatione,

viz. :



xvui INTRODUCTION

1. The prose version of the Latin prose original,

common to B and C.

2. The prose version of the Latin carmina, only

found in B.

3. Thealliterating metrical version of the Latin

carmina, only found in C.

As regards (i),the text adopted is that of C.

Where C is uninjured and legible, the chief variants of

B are given in footnotes, but variations

constantlyrecurring, such as B s mihte for C s meahte, B s dam

for C s dam^ &c., are not reproduced. Where C is

injured or at all illegible, the text of B is printed, and

the C readings preserved by Junius are given in foot

notes marked J. If part of a word is visible in C the

word is completed from B, or from J where available;

for this the footnotes should be consulted. All

words in the text not in C,, or illegible in C, are in

italics;

all parts now missing from C are in square

brackets, while words and letters not in C from the

first are in round brackets. Words and letters in

italics, but not in brackets, do occur in C but are not

legible. In short, it may be assumed that all words

in italics are from B, unless otherwise stated in the

footnotes.

As regards (2) the text of B is printed, and these

prose Metra are printed (in italics) just where they

occur in B.

For (3),the Metra are printed together after the

prose, though they occupy in C the places filled by

(2) in B. The text is that of C, supplemented (in

italics)where deficient from the transcript of the

C Metra made by Junius, and also referred to as J in

the footnotes. The numbering of these Metra was



PRESENT EDITION xix

first made by Fox, and is here retained. Grein s

arrangement of thelines is

generally followed.C is in parts much injured with holes in the parch

ment, which is also creased to such an extent that it

is often impossible to indicate in a printed text exactly

what is missing and what illegible. In such cases the

passage is enclosed in square brackets, and a note is

added to the effect that part is gone, part illegible in C.

Contractions are not expanded, but given as theyoccur, except in two or three instances noted above in

the description of B. The wavy mark(~)

over the

/ in ceft (= after) and one or two other words is

intended to stand for exactly the same sign as the

straight mark printed in other cases, such as don., da,

&c., which in the MSS. is generally straight but

occasionally somewhat wavy. The letters of the

MSS. are not specially reproduced as to form, except

that d and J) are given as they occur in B, C, and

J. The abbreviation J (=

and) is after a full stop

printed as a capital, but does not occur as such in the

MSS. When a bracket bisects the digraph (B the

latter is written ae.

Accents are marked where they occur in the MSS.The particles corresponding to the German separable

particles, and used in Old English either as adverbs or

prepositions, such as fram, of, on, &c., are generally

treated as prepositions when following their cases, if

there is a regimen ;and as adverbs, where there is no

regimen. In either case they are printed separately.

Occasionally, however, they form true compounds with

verbs, and are then printed as such both in the text

and the glossary.

Emendations and conjectures, which occur chiefly

b 2



xx INTRODUCTION

in the text of B, are mostly self-evident corrections of

errors madeby

the scribe in

copying. Manyof these

had already been made by Junius, and reproduced by

later editors. In this edition only the more important

emendations and conjectures suggested by Junius, and

Grein(in the verse), and one by Professor Napier, are

specially acknowledged. In addition to these, however,

a considerable number have been made by the present

editor,where

theyseemed

necessaryto an

intelligibletext. All emendations and conjectures are marked as

such in the footnotes. The division of the prose text

into sections was first made by Junius, who also supplied

the references to the Latin original. A few corrections

and alterations have been made in the former, and the

latter have been carefully verified from Peiper s text

(Leipzig 1871, Teubner). Where the beginning ofa section does not coincide with a Latin section, the

corresponding page and line in Peiper are given in

a footnote. For the punctuation of the text the editor

is responsible. That of the prose part is modernized

for the first time, for convenience in reading. In the

Metra, Grein s punctuation is followed on the whole,

but with numerous exceptions. In Old English

writings it is not always easy to clearly mark by

punctuation the correlation of words and sentences,

and the MSS. are frequently unsatisfactory and even

misleading in this respect.

The fragment N is printed from Professor Napier s

text as an appendix on pp. 205-206, but with modern

punctuation and words separated ; contractions are left

unexpanded except in the case of the looped h> m,

and,where the vowels are printed in italics (v. supra).

The Glossary is intended to give every word occur-



BIBLIOGRAPHY xxi

ring in the text, and every instance, except of constantly

recurring words. In these cases the first instance ofthe word s occurrence is given from the prose, and

generally from the verse, and an &*c. added. As the

Glossary aims at being phonological rather than syn

tactical or lexicographical, a full record of forms is

given, rather than of shades of meaning, though these

latter have not been neglected. The prepositions

indeed have been treated with some fullness, in viewof their high syntactical importance and the interesting

light they throw on the ways of thought of the early

users of our language. It should be remembered that

as the B text is here not printed in full, the Glossary

is incomplete as a register of B forms.

iii. Bibliography.

i. Previous Editions,(a) By Christopher Rawlin-

son, Oxford, 1698, containing the whole text of B,

the C variants, and the Cotton Metra; printed, with

no additions (except a Latin preface and a number of

quotations from early writers concerning King Alfred s

authorship of the Old English Boethius), directly from

the transcript by Junius above described. There is

a full-page engraved portrait of Junius facing the

title-page, after the picture by Van Dyck. The

imprimatur of John Meare, Vice-Chancellor of the

University of Oxford, is dated April 2, 1698. There

are further a small copper engraving representing

Boethius in his dungeon, with a female figure at his

side, crowned with a halo and pointing upwards, and

also a portrait of King Alfred, with the legend Al-

uredus R. ex Lapide in Coll. Aenei Nasi.

(b) By J. S. Cardale, London, 1829. The B text is

given, embodying emendations and conjectures, with

Englishtranslation

and explanatory notes,and a

specimen of the Cotton Metra.

(c) King Alfred s Anglo-Saxon version of the Metra

of Boethius, with an English prose translation and

explanatory notes, by the Rev. Samuel Fox, M.A.,

of Pembroke College, Oxford. William Pickering,

London, 1835.

(d) Complete edition by the Rev. Samuel Fox,Bohn, London, 1864. The text of the prose is that

of B, apparently copied from Rawlinson s edition

without collation with B itself. Up to Chapter xxix,

only the readings from C excerpted by Junius and

printed in Rawlinson s edition are given in footnotes;

afterwards these latter are supplemented by some

more variants taken directly from C. A literal English

translation faces each page of the original. The Metra

of C are collected at the end of the book,, apparently

copied from the Junius transcript, or from Rawlinson,

without fresh collation with C. An English rhymed

translation of the Metra, by Martin F. Tupper, is

printed side by side with the text;

there are some

explanatory notes and a word-list at the end.

(e)The Cotton Metra are printed with critical notes

and emendations in C. W. M. Grein s Bibliothek der

angelsachsischen Poesie.

Hickes in his Thesaurits had printed some extracts

from these Metra, using Rawlinson s edition.

Extracts from the prose and verse parts of the Old

English Boethius are given in various Readers and

Analecta, a list of which will be found in Wiilker s

Grundriss zur Geschichte der angelsachsischen Lite-

ratur. Professor Bright in his Anglo-Saxon Reader



BIBLIOGRAPHY xxni

has printed portions of the prose, embodying a fresh

collation of C;in the other Readers the text of the

editions is followed.

A facsimile of a page of Cott. MS. Otho A 6 is

given in the Jubilee edition of the Works of King

Alfred the Great, p. 515.

2. Translations. In addition to the translations

given in the editions of Cardale and Fox, the latter s

version of the Old English prose and Tuppers

rhyming paraphrase of the verse are printed in the

Jubilee edition of the Whole Works of King Alfred

the Great. Tupper also published his version sepa

rately in 1850. A good deal of Alfred s Boethius is

translated in Sharon Turner s History of the Anglo-

Saxons (vol.ii. ch.

ii,seventh edition, 1853), accom

panying a full analysis of the work and a commentary,with a literal translation of the corresponding passages

in the original Latin added in the footnotes.

In his Proeve eener geschiedenis der dichtkunst en

fraajeletteren onderdeAngel- Saksen (Amsterdam, 1 842)

J.P. Arend has some notes on Alfred s Boethius,

followed by a Dutch translation of some passages

(pp. 130-180). A part of the fable of Orpheus and

Eurydice is translated into French in H. Taine s

Histoire de la litterature anglaise (vol.i. pp. 59~^3,

eighth edition, 1892); and Grein gives an alliterating

German version in his Dichtungen der Angelsachsen.

3. Literature. The question of the authorship of

the Cotton Metra has been fully discussed by A. Leicht

in Anglia, vi. 126-170; by M. Hartmann in Anglia,

v. 411-450; and by O. Zimmermann in a dissertation

published at Greifswald in 1882. Wulker in his

Grundriss gives a precis of the researches and argu-



xxiv INTRODUCTION

ments of these writers, and his own summing up.

Leicht also wrote an article in

Anglia,vii.

178-202,supplementing his first one, and containing notes on

the MSS. (as represented in Fox s edition) and their

phonology, and a comparison of the Old English

version with the original Latin. In Boethius, an

Essay, by H. F. Stewart (pp. 170-178), there is an

interesting appreciation of Alfred s translation.

In avery suggestive

article inthe Archiv filr das

Studium der neueren Sprachen 94 (2 and3), pp. 149-

160, the late Dr. Georg Schepss showed that manyillustrations and amplifications found in the Old

English version of the De Consolatione and hitherto

credited to King Alfred, especially those of a marked

Christian tendency, are undoubtedly derived from Old

Latin commentaries, belonging to two types, nowrepresented by (i)

a complete separate commentary

bound up with the Boethius MS. written by Froumund

in the tenth century and now belonging to the

Ottingen-Wallerstein library at Maihingen ;and (2)

the marginal Scholia of the Munich MS. no. 19452,

written in the tenth or the eleventh century.

J. W. Tupper, in a dissertation published in Balti

more, U.S.A., in 1897, investigates the tropes and

figures in the prose of the Boethius.

In Modern Language Notes for 1894 (no. 6), pp.

321-342, there is an article on the close connexion

between the Alfredian Boethius and the Alfredian

Soliloquies or Blooms.

Max Rieger gives an analysis of the metre of the

Cott. verses in his Die alt- und angelsdchsische Vers-

kunst (Halle, 1876), first published as an article in

Zacher s Zeitschrift fiir deutsche Philologie.



RELATION TO LATIN ORIGINAL xxv

A Latin MS. of the De Consolatione with Old

English glosses (Corp. 214, Camb.) is described byProfessor W. W. Skeat in the American Journal of

Philology, v.(4) p. 488 ; but, as Dr. Skeat remarks,

these glosses are in no way connected with Alfred s

Boethius.

In Richard Wiilker s Grundriss zur Geschichte der

angdsdchsischen Literatur will be found further in

formation about the literature of the Boethius.

iv. Relation to Latin Original.

The following analysis by chapters and sections

will serve to show the degree of correspondence

between the Old English version and its Latin

original, as represented in R. Peiper s text. It maybe premised that the words close or literal have

a looser sense than usual, as here applied to our

version. Even in his most faithful translation, that

of the Ctira Pastoralis, King Alfred is by no means

what would in these days be called literal;while in

his Boethius it is the exception to find a passage of

even a few lines rendered word for word.

It may here be convenient to supply some notable

instances of the use, in the Old English version, of

early Latin commentaries. They are taken from the

article by Dr. Schepss, mentioned above.

The mention of the heavenly Jerusalem (p. u,1.

17),which is not in the Latin text, is taken from

the commentary, which runs :

(hoc) tarn ad Romae

civitatem quam ad ecclesiam seu ad caelestem Hieru-

salem referripotest (Lib. i. prosa 5, Peiper, p. 19, 1.14).

The allusion to the holy martyrs (p. 26, 1. 21)

comes from the Froumund MS. commentaries(F),

which have hie sanctos martires vultintellegi, qui, ut

beatiludinem perennem acciperent, diversa potius tor-

menta quam simplicem mortem desiderabant (Lib. ii.

prosa 4, P. 35. 91).

The words perennis sedes and humili saxo (Lib. ii.

metr. 4, 1. i and 1. 15) are in the Munich commentaryMS. (M), explained in a Christian sense, and in deo

is written over saxo. F has saxo id est in Christo.

The Old English has Crist(p. 27, 1.

7).

In the account of Nero s crimes (Lib. ii. metr. 6,



xxxn INTRODUCTION

P. 43, v. iff.)

F and M explain urbe flammatawith the remark that Nero set Rome on fire, volens

mdere quantum fuerit incendium Troiae. The Old

English has cefter dcere bisene de gio Trogia burg barn.

Hine lyste eac geseon hti seo burne, hu lange, 7 hu

leohte be dczre oderre (p. 39, 1.20).

The passage on the elements and seasons(/. 49, /. 5

etseq.)

does not occur in Boethius, but F and M give

explanatory

notes to which the OldEnglish

version

closely corresponds.

In Lib. iii. met. 9 (Peiper 70, v. I etseq.)

the word

numeris is annotated at some length, and here too the

Old English version closely follows the commentary

(/. 80, /. 5 etseq.).

In the commentary to the same

poem (v. 13 et seq.), we find a note explaining that by

thewords triplicis mediam

naturaeanimam we

are to

understand animarationabilis> together with anima

irascibilis and anima concupiscibilis. The Old English

runs (/.81, /. 17-19) An dora gecynda is f heo bid

wilnigende. oder f hio bid irsiende, flridde f hio bid

gesceadwis.

At the end of this poem the commentaries add the

words per quem (per)veniamus ad te ;

the Old Englishhas de ealle men to fundiad.

To the words of Boethius (Lib. iii. prosa 12, P. 83.

52) nihil est quod naturam seruans deo contraire

conetur, Alfred adds buton dysig mon^ odfie eft da

widerweardan englas (p. 98, 1. 12, 13).This seems

to be taken from the commentary, which, in speaking

of the devil, mentions that he was good in sui naturabut that he voluntate deo resistit.

In Lib. iii. prosa 12 (P. 84. 65) occur the words

lacessentes caelum gigantas. In M. we find loquitur



RELATION TO LATIN ORIGINAL xxxm

secundum fidem gentilium vel veritatem tangit, qnando

divisio linguarttm factaest. This biblical allusion is

not lost on King Alfred (p. 99, 1.6).

In Lib. iv. prosa i (P. 89. 33) M. annotates domum

thus: ad apicem pristinae intelligentiae mentisque

secretum sen ad paradysum, ubi damns est naturahs.

The Old English version has(p. 104, 1. 27) to Zare

heofonlican byrig de du <zr of come.

The gelidi senis of Boethiusin Lib. iv. metr. i

(P. 90. n) is explained as Saturnus in the commen

taries.

In Lib. iv. metr. 5 (P.v. 1-3 ff.)

Arcturi . . . Bootes,

the commentaries explain Bootes Stella est in temone

orturn venit . . . Rursus, qtianto longius fuerint sidera

a cardine, celerius occldunt et tardius oriuntur. Com

pare with this the Old English (p. 126, 1. iff.).

The elaborate simile of the wheel contained in

Chapter xxxix. 7 of the Old English version (p. 139,

1. 19) seems also to owe something to the words of the

commentary.

Finally, the simile of the egg (Metr. xx. 169), which

has generally been ascribed to King Alfred, is to be

found indicated in the marginal scholia of the Frou-

mund Codex in the words Caelum et terrain mareque

In modum ovifigurari.

Dr. Schepss further shows that Alfred might have

avoided certain errors if he had been able to make



xx xiv INTRODUCTION

consistent use of the commentaries above described.

Thus Alfred speaks of sumum romaniscum cedelinge^

se wees haten Liberius(p. 36, /.

17),where the Latin

text has liber quidam ; but the commentaries refer the

allusion to Anaxagoras, Zeno, or Anaxarchus.

Alfred s error se wisa Catuhis for Catullus (p. 61,

1. 17) may have been due to a faulty reading in his

MS., or perhaps to the mention of Catulus in Orosius,

but the

commentaryM has a note nobilis et veronensis

poeta. The identification of Brutus with Cassius

(p. 46, /. 22) seems to show carelessness or ignorance

on Alfred s part, but at the same time he avoids some

blunders which we find in the commentaries. For

example, he does not regard Alcibiades as nomen

mulierisfamosae pidchritudiniS) as is gravely set forth

in thecommentary

F.

The curious mistake whichmakes Ulysses a prince of Rhaetia (p. 115, 1. 16 and

Metr. xxvi. 8) is due to the reading velani retii for

vela neritii.

Alfred seems to have left unused a mass of material

contained in the commentaries regarding matters

metrical, grammatical, and etymological, but eagerly

availed himself of any hints and information he could

get on Biblical, mythological, and historical questions,

and all that related to what we now call natural science.

Dr. Schepss has undoubtedly made out a strong

case, and has indicated a new field of inquiry which

may lead to still further interesting discoveries of the

same nature, as he has only dealt with the more

notable of the explanations and expansions of the

Latin text which have been generally ascribed to

King Alfred. In this connexion William of Malmes-

bury s statement that Asser sensuiti librarian Boetii



DIALECT OF TEXT xxxv

de consolatione planioribus verbis enodavit is of interest,

as it almost looks as if Asser were the author of theabove-mentioned commentaries F and M

; but, as

Dr. Schepss points out, it is safer to believe that in

the written and oral explanations which he gave the

king, Asser made use of commentaries already in

existence.

v. Dialect of text.

The following short note kindly communicated to

the Editor by Professor Eduard Sievers will be of

interest. The dialect question (of the O. E. Boethius)

is rather puzzling. The Bodl. MS. contains a good

many Kenticisms, and so does Cott. The latter is

evidently copied from an Early W. Saxon source,

but the scribe has introduced Kentish forms here andthere, especially his Kentish e for E. W. S. ie, and,

what is perhaps of greater weight, Kentish io for

E. -W. S. (or O. E.) eo, as in swwr, diof ; also weoruld

for W. S. woruld (on the latter see Beitr. xxii. 255).

It is only the Go which represents W. Germ, eit or e

that is replaced by Kent, io, not the eo which stands

for W. Germ, iu or i, and written io in E. W. S. too,

as far as it exists. Then the Metra are so full of

Kentish forms that I cannot but believe that they

were done in Kent, and probably the versifier worked

from a Kentish copy of the prose text. I have a short

note on this question in Beitr. x. 197, but without

amounting to proof I consider the following observa

tion rather convincing. The prose text (p. 136, /. 23)

reads thus : panon he welt dam gewealdlederum ealle

gesceaftu. The versifier makes dam gewealdlederum

(Metr. xxix. 76) a regular half line; consequently he

c 2



xxxvi INTRODUCTION

had to alter the words immediately preceding, and

I believe he did it this

way:

/ / ivaldefi

danon he ^velt flam gewealdlederutn.

Then he, or some scribe, copied out what he found

before him, but his eye was caught by the welt, and

so he wrote what we find in the Metra : he donan

ivaided^ $am geweltletirum. So the Kentish welt evi

dentlywas in the

(original) prosetext from which the

man worked. There are numerous other Kenticisms in

the text of both B and C, and this question of dialect

is one that calls for detailed investigation, as it maythrow light on the source of these two MSS. An

examination of the Cott. Metra from this point of view

would probably lead to results regarding their author

ship of greater value than those hitherto obtained byother methods (v. infra). The fragment N, which is

older than the other two MSS., is West Saxon, with

no important admixture of Kentish or other dialect.

vi. Authorship and date of the Work.

That King Alfred translated into English the De

Consolatione of Boethius is testified by several early

writers of varying authority. ./Ethelweard in his

Chronicle (Lib. iv. cap. 3 ad 901 A.D.) has this

passage : Divinis quippe super omnia documentis im-

btitus, nam ex Latino rhetorico fasmate in propriam

verterat linguam volumina, numero ignoto, ita varie,

ita praeopime, ^lt non tantum expertioribns sed et

audientibus liber (librum ?) Boetiilachrymosus quodam-modo suscitaretur motus.

William of Malmesbury says (De Gestis Regum1Cott. MS. has he done anwald ded. Ed.



AUTHORSHIP AND DATE OF THE WORK xxxvil

Angliae, Lib. ii. cap. 4, 122), Hie (i.e. Asser) sensum

librorum Boetii de Consolatione Philosophiaeplanioribns

verbis enodavit, quos ipse rex in anglicain linguam con

fertit ; and a little further on he again speaks of Alfred s

translation ofthework. In his GestaPontificumAngliae,

ii. 248 (page 177 of Hamilton s edition), occurs this pas

sage, Asserus. . .non nsqiieqnaqne contempnendae scien-

tiae fuit, qui librum Boetii de consolatione pJiilosopJtiae

planioribus elucidavil, labore illis diebns necessario, nos-

tris ridicnlo. Sed enim iussu regis factum est, ut levins

ab eodem in anglicnm transferretin- sermonem.

Robert Plot in his Historia Natnralis Comitatns

Oxon. (cap. x, 118) remarks that there seems to

have formerly existed at Woodstock (Wudestoc)

a Royal residence, dating from King Alfred s time,

as it appears from a Cotton MS. (sub Othone A)

that that King translated at Woodstock the De Conso

latione of Boethius into Saxon. Plot probably refers

to MS. Cott. Otho Ax, now destroyed except for

a few charred fragments. Wanley in his Catalogue

makes no mention of this statement alleged to be

contained in the MS.

In the Liber monasterii de Hyda (edited by Edwards

1866) it is stated that Alfred caused the De Conso

latione of Boethius as well as Gregory s Dialogues

to be translated into the Saxon tongue by Bishop

Wirefrith(i.

e. Werfrith of Worcester). Several other

early writers from whose works extracts are printed

in the preface to Rawlinson s edition^ such as Bromton,

Polydorus Vergilius, Leland, and Bale, refer to

Alfred s translation of the De Consolatione in nearly

the same words as those just quoted.

Most modern critics have seen no reason to doubt

c 3



xxxvm INTRODUCTION

the tradition of antiquity and the express statement in

theprefaces

to the OldEnglish

version ofBoethius,

that King Alfred was its author. At least there has

been no doubt as to his authorship of the prose

rendering of the prose and verse of the original.

The whole of this version bears the strong personal

impress of its author, and in the views of life expressed,

especially of a king s life, with its manifold cares and

duties, we can hardly fail to recognize the great king s

voice. Often groping darkly after the sense of his

original and failing to find it, he is always earnestly

trying his utmost to utter in his simple speech the

high thoughts that surge within him.

But with regard to the authorship of the Cotton

Metra there is not this unanimity. This question has

been exhaustively treated in the articles alreadyreferred to, by Leicht, Hartmann, and Zimmermann,and nothing has since been contributed to its dis

cussion. Ingenious arguments for and against Alfred s

authorship have been brought forward, but it cannot

be said that the question is settled. However, certain

facts and conclusions have emerged from the dis

cussion, and may be here shortly stated.

It is established beyond doubt that the Cotton

Metra are based directly on the corresponding prose

version found in B, without further reference to the

Latin original. They reproduce in metrical dress the

prose version, omitting little, and adding few thoughts

of any importance ;and they seem to have been

composed by rearranging the words of the prose

version, and inserting poetical commonplaces or tags/

to bring the lines into an alliterating form, much as a

schoolboy might use a Gradus in making Latin verses.



AUTHORSHIP AND DATE OF THE WORK xxxix

It has been remarked that certain of the Latin

Metra are translated in B, but omitted in C (Metrai. 6, ii. 2, iv. 7),

and that it is precisely these Metra

that in B lack the formulae which generally introduce

and dismiss a metrum. This fact is used as an

argument against the King s authorship of the Cotton

Metra. But, on the other hand, it is pointed out that

the prose version of Metr. i. 7 has also no formulae,

but is nevertheless versified in C.

Leicht, who has investigated the question most

thoroughly, shows that none of the usual arguments

against the King s authorship amount to proof,

whether those of an a priori nature, or those drawn

from certain discrepancies observed in the corre

spondence between the B and C versions of the Metra.

He himself, however, after carefully comparing one

version with the other, finds that the alliterating Metra

of C *

offer nothing fresh, such as we should expect of

Alfred, but only a weak dilution of the terse and

vigorous prose ;and accordingly he decides against

the King s authorship. The consensus of critical

opinion seems to be against Alfred s authorship of

the prose and metrical prefaces, on the authority of

which the authorship of the Cotton Metra is often

ascribed to him;but nothing has been clearly proved

one way or the other. The prose preface which is found

in both B and C closely resembles certain passages

in Alfred s preface to his translation of Gregory s

Cura Pastoralis. It clearly states that King Alfred;

translated this book from Latin into English prose.,

and afterwards into verse(leode).

The metrical

preface makes the same assertion in more words.

Leicht shows that the prose preface could not have



xl INTRODUCTION

been prefixed to the original version containing the

prose translation of the Metra, but must have accompanied C only, or its archetype, and was afterwards

added to later copies of the first edition, such as B.

The Cotton Metra have been compared with the

verses in the preface to Alfred s Cura Pastoralis,

which Dr. H. Sweet in his edition of the latter work

with some justice styles doggerel/ but they seem

to stand on a rather higher level than these latter.

They share certain characteristics with the West

Saxon verse of the tenth century, and clearly belong

to a period when the rules of Old English prosody,

observed so carefully in the golden age of Cynewulf

and in the Beowulf, were neglected, and perhaps

almost forgotten. Thus the laws of alliteration of

the classic poetry are often transgressed. Provided

he has one or two words in the first half line allite

rating with one in the second, or vice versa, the

versifier does not much care what words bear the

stress, while proclitics are at times divorced from

their main words in a most inelegant manner.

In conclusion we may say that it lies with the oppo

nents of the King s authorship of the Cotton Metra to

prove their case, and this they have not done. An

investigation of the language of these Metra may,

however, throw some further light on the question.

The King, we are told by Asser, was fond of the

poetry of his native land, and learned much of it by

heart, and we can well believe that he would please

both himself and his people by adding a metrical

version. His hearers, for readers were few in those

days, would find even a rude rhythm more impressive

and more easily remembered than the terser prose ;

and Alfred himself might perhaps, as an unpoetical,

practical West Saxon, have regarded these Metrawith considerable satisfaction. On the other hand,

he may perhaps have commissioned some skilled

leodwyrhta, possibly a Kentish clerk, to undertake

the versification, and the latter s version when in

corporated into Alfred s prose may conceivably have

passed from the first under the name of the King *.

As regards the date when Alfred translated the DeConsolatione no certain conclusion is possible. Critics

vary greatly in their chronological arrangement of the

King s literary works, arguing chiefly from a priori

grounds, unfortunately almost the only grounds avail

able. Walker s view, that Alfred translated Boethius

treatise after the Handboc, the Cura Pastoralis, and

the Orosius3 about the year 897, seems reasonable,

as our work does not look like the production of

a novice in composition, but bears the stamp of

a mature mind wielding the language with the ease

that could only come from practice.

declares against Alfred s authorship of these Metra, and says that he

believes they were originally written in the Kentish dialect by a Kentish-

man, and based on a Kentish version of the prose text. Our MSS., B

and C, according to Prof. Sievers. represent this Kentish text partially

re-converted into W. Saxon.

GLOSSARY

EXPLANATION OF GLOSSARY.

The order is strictly alphabetical ;8 is used for both 5 and

J>

of the

text. The main-words are normalised on an early West Saxon basis.

Ordinary figures refer to page and line, Roman numerals to the Cott.

Metra. Pr. = Proem; MPr. = Metrical Proem, preceding the Metra.

N. = Napier Fragment.

Many of the references to the Bodleian MS. text are marked with

an asterisk where attention is called to the forms.

The Headings of Chapters, pp. 3-6, and the prayer on p. 149 are not

considered in the Glossary.Verbs marked svi, sv2 &c. belong to the strong conjugation according

to the classification given in Sievers Angelsachsische Grammalik, thus :

aberan, sv^. bear. All parts and forms of the verb to be will be found

under beon.

Verbs with preteritive presents are entered under the present indica

tive, e.g. mag, deah. When no examples of, but only the references to,

a particular case of a noun or adjective are given, the form is identical

with that last given. Words compounded with the prefix gewill be

found under the simple forms. In adjectives the masculine of each case,

being given first, is not marked as such;weak forms in -an have not

usually the gender indicated.

In text e as root-vowel often = ie in Glossary, io often = eo, o before

nasal a.
