All Things to All Men: Representations of the Apostle Paul in Anglo-Saxon Literature All Things to All Men: Representations of the Apostle Paul in Anglo-Saxon Literature by Valerie Susan Heuchan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Copyright by Valerie Susan Heuchan 2010 Thesis Abstract Title: All Things to All Men: Representations of the Apostle Paul in Anglo-Saxon England Submitted by: Valerie Susan Heuchan Degree: Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Department: Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto This dissertation examines the ways in which the Apostle Paul is presented in literature from Anglo-Saxon England, including both Latin and Old English texts. The first part of the study focuses on uses of canonical Pauline sources, while the second concentrates on apocryphal sources. The introductory chapter summarizes the various forms of commemoration of Paul in Anglo-Saxon religious praxis, including church dedications, hymns, and prayers. The chapter concludes with a brief examination of early Anglo-Latin authors who used Paul’s letters in their writings. Chapter 2 looks at the Bonifatian Correspondence, which reveals that Boniface viewed himself as a missionary in the Pauline tradition. Like Paul, he and his correspondents found solace by writing letters to one another, often reflecting their affinity for Paul by including quotations from the Pauline epistles. Chapter 3 examines the Alfredian translation of Augustine’s Soliloquies, providing evidence to support the finding that the hitherto unsourced building metaphor in the preface was inspired by Paul’s comparison of himself to a wise architect in 1 Corinthians 3.9-14. ii Chapter 4 looks into the works of Ælfric of Eynsham, discovering that his homilies demonstrate a view of himself as a teacher in the tradition of Paul. In chapter 5 the study turns to the second part of the dissertation, looking at apocryphal works about Paul, beginning with the Passio Petri et Pauli. Paul’s passio was extant in a variety of texts in Anglo-Saxon England, and the chapter focuses on comparing the different versions and the source relationships amongst them. Chapter 6 studies the texts of the Visio Sancti Pauli in Anglo-Saxon England, reviewing its wide influence, and examining Blickling Homilies IV and XVI, both of which include passages from the Visio. Chapter 7 begins by discussing the non-canonical Epistle to the Laodiceans and then turns to the issue of the definition of an apocryphal text in Anglo-Saxon England, and what implications such a label conferred on a text. The dissertation concludes by observing the many different ways in which the Apostle Paul functioned as a figure to be imitated by Anglo-Saxon writers, and the reasons for his popularity. iii Acknowledgements In the research and writing of this dissertation, I owe great thanks to my committee members, Andy Orchard, Toni Healey, and John Haines, for their constant encouragement and support, and for patiently meeting with me on many occasions to discuss my latest chapter or revisions. I am especially indebted to my supervisor, Andy Orchard, for generously sharing his encyclopaedic knowledge of all aspects of the Anglo-Saxon world, and for his constant wit and good humour, which enabled me to maintain a spirit of fun and enjoyment in the whole process. To Toni Healey, I am particularly grateful for her painstaking reading of my final draft and her uplifting messages of motivation in the final stages. I would also like to thank my internal examiner, John Marshall, for providing the refreshing perspective of someone from another area of study, and to my external examiner, Frederick M. Biggs, whose detailed comments and suggestions gave me new insight into the project and ideas for its future development. In addition I am grateful to Professor G. Peter Richardson, whose infectious enthusiasm initially inspired me with an interest in the Apostle Paul, and who encouraged me in my graduate work many years ago. Further thanks is owed to all those at the Centre for Medieval Studies, in particular Grace Desa, who never failed to give me a warm greeting, to take an interest in my family, and to keep me on track. To Nicole Fallon I also feel a great debt for encouraging me to persevere whenever the end seemed remote. iv Finally, to my family and friends, I am grateful beyond measure for their constant interest in and patience with my lengthy studies; in particular to my mother for her loving care of my daughters without which I would not have been able to return to school; to my four daughters, Emma, Isobel, Alison, and Muireann, who took an interest in my studies and were always accommodating and helpful when I had a deadline; and most of all to my husband, Derrick, who never failed to believe in me, whose love of ancient languages inspired me, and whose encouragement, understanding, and support allowed me to achieve my goal. To him I dedicate this work, as a small token of thanks. v Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iv List of Abbreviations vii Chapter 1.

Introduction: Forms of Veneration of the Apostle Paul in Anglo-Saxon England The Apostle Paul has always been an important figure for Christians, seemingly from Christianity’s earliest days in the first century CE. The preservation and imitation of his epistles, as well as their inclusion in the New Testament canon, show that he quickly became a central figure in the movement.1 Following Paul’s canonical letters, apocryphal writings emerged relating his life and death, which further contributed to the popularity and mystique of the figure of the Apostle Paul in subsequent centuries. In Anglo-Saxon England, as in other medieval cultures, the Apostle Paul and his writings, as well as apocryphal sources about him, formed an important source of Christian doctrine and Paul as a Christian figure functioned as an inspiration in many ways. This study examines some of the various references in Anglo- Saxon literature (both Latin and Old English) to Paul himself, his letters, and apocryphal sources concerning him, seeking to understand in what ways the Apostle Paul figured in the mind and imagination of Anglo-Saxon writers, how he and his works may have influenced Anglo-Saxon writing and thinking, and how Anglo-Saxon writers may in turn have influenced 1 See, for example, Ferdinand Christian Baur, Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ, His Life and Work, His Epistles and Doctrine, 2 Vols. (London, 1876); Helmut Koester, Introduction to the New Testament (Philadelphia, 1982), pp. 1–13; A. Lindemann, “Der Apostel Paulus im 2. Jahrhundert,” The New Testament in Early Christianity: La réception des écrits néotestamentaires dans le christianisme primitif, ed. Jean-Marie Sevrin. (Leuven, 1989), pp. 39–68; Gregory E. Sterling, “From Apostle to the Gentiles to Apostle of the Church: Images of Paul at the End of the First Century,” Zeitschrift für die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und Kunde die älteren Kirche 99 (2007), 74–98; Daniel Marguerat, “Paul àpres Paul: Une Histoire de Réception,” New Testament Studies 54 (2008), 317– 37. 1 (or intended to influence) the understanding of those reading or hearing their works about Paul. There is a surprisingly small amount of secondary work available on the figure of Paul and his writings in Anglo-Saxon England, and works of a general nature on the subject are nonexistent. Two volumes address the study of the Bible in the medieval period in a general way, the first by Beryl Smalley,2 and the second a collection of essays focussing on the Bible in the Carolingian era; 3 however they do not address the study of Pauline works directly.

  • Saint Patrick: Issues of Translation & His Enduring
    SAINT PATRICK: ISSUES OF TRANSLATION & HIS ENDURING PASTORAL MESSAGE A dissertation submitted to the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies Drew University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree, Doctor of Letters Christina Isabella McGrath Drew University Madison, New Jersey May 2021 Copyright © 2021 by Christina Isabella McGrath All Rights Reserved Abstract Saint Patrick: Issues of Translation and His Enduring Pastoral Message Doctor of Letters Dissertation by Christina Isabella McGrath The Caspersen School of Graduate Studies Drew University May 2021 This dissertation attempts to discover the reason(s) for the worldwide interest in Saint Patrick of Ireland by focusing on the numerous translations of his two writings, the Confessio (The Confession of Saint Patrick) and the Epistola (The Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus). By analyzing seven specific twentieth century translations of the saint’s fifth century writings, the reader will discern subtle differences in each end product, leading to a unique message from Patrick. Working with the assertions that every translation is a political act of some kind and that the translator becomes part of the translation, specific passages from the saint’s writings are examined and discussed through the lens of translation theory along with survey responses from accessible translators. After delving into Patrician scholarship, the historical sources presenting Saint Patrick’s letters have been called into question, due to the personal agendas and biases of his seventh century biographers. Over the past 1500 years, both political and religious factions have usurped him for their own agendas. The end result of this exploration led to the discovery of a man who went to the end of his world to preach the Gospel, to convert the Irish to Christianity, and to share the love of his God with the place and people who once enslaved him.

  • Paschasius Radbertus and the Song of Songs
    chapter 6 “Love’s Lament”: Paschasius Radbertus and the Song of Songs The Song of Songs was understood by many Carolingian exegetes as the great- est, highest, and most obscure of Solomon’s three books of wisdom. But these Carolingian exegetes would also have understood the Song as a dialogue, a sung exchange between Christ and his church: in fact, as the quintessential spiritual song. Like the liturgy of the Eucharist and the divine office, the Song of Songs would have served as a window into heavenly realities, offering glimpses of a triumphant, spotless Bride and a resurrected, glorified Bridegroom that ninth- century reformers’ grim views of the church in their day would have found all the more tantalizing. For Paschasius Radbertus, abbot of the great Carolingian monastery of Corbie and as warm and passionate a personality as Alcuin, the Song became more than simply a treasury of imagery. In this chapter, I will be examining Paschasius’s use of the Song of Songs throughout his body of work. Although this is necessarily only a preliminary effort in understanding many of the underlying themes at work in Paschasius’s biblical exegesis, I argue that the Song of Songs played a central, formative role in his exegetical imagina- tion and a structural role in many of his major exegetical works. If Paschasius wrote a Song commentary, it has not survived; nevertheless, the Song of Songs is ubiquitous in the rest of his exegesis, and I would suggest that Paschasius’s love for the Song and its rich imagery formed a prism through which the rest of his work was refracted.

  • Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle
    THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Michelle Haughey August 2011 © 2011 Sarah Michelle Haughey THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE Sarah Michelle Haughey, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation, The ‘Bestli’ Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle English Literature explores the reasons for the survival of the beast-like outlaw, a transgressive figure who highlights tensions in normative definitions of human and natural, which came to represent both the fears and the desires of a people in a state of constant negotiation with the land they inhabited. Although the outlaw’s shelter in the wilderness changed dramatically from the dense and menacing forests of Anglo-Saxon England to the bright, known, and mapped greenwood of the late outlaw romances and ballads, the outlaw remained strongly animalistic, other, and liminal, in strong contrast to premodern notions of what it meant to be human and civilized. I argue that outlaw narratives become particularly popular and poignant at moments of national political and ecological crisis—as they did during the Viking attacks of the Anglo-Saxon period, the epoch of intense natural change following the Norman Conquest, and the beginning of the market revolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Figures like the Anglo-Saxon resistance fighter Hereward, the exiled Marcher lord Fulk Fitz Waryn, and the brutal yet courtly Gamelyn and Robin Hood, represent a lost England imagined as pristine and forested.

While the melding and inclusion of both Mediterranean and Teutonic elements in Anglo-Saxon poetry has been the subject of extensive research, until relatively recently, scholars have attributed this dynamic largely to a central manipulation of the Christian message by the Roman church with a view towards making it compatible with the societal mores of the (relatively) newly convt..rted Northern Europeans.
