In 1900 the Scottish Text Society committed the editor- ship of Andrew of Wyntoun’s ‘Original Chronicle’ to Mr Francis Joseph Amours, who had previously edited a volume of ‘ Scottish Alliterative Poems ’ for the Society. Taking up and pursuing this great task with the utmost assiduity and fidelity, Mr Amours was within sight of its completion when, on 9th September 1910, he died, leaving the text completely printed in five volumes, the Notes, Glossary, and Index in manuscript ready for the press, and only the Introduction unaccomplished. The debt of the Society to Mr Amours for all his learned labour on its behalf can hardly be overstated, and the Society’s gratitude for his work, regret for his death, and sense of consequent loss, correspond to the profound personal esteem in which he was widely held. This preface to the magnum opus of Mr Amours offers the best and most permanent opportunity for the Society’s expression of its grateful tribute to his long-continued and conspicuously successful editorial service to Scottish literature and history. Appended is a reprint of a biographical notice from the ‘Scottish Historical Review’ for October 1910, with slight revisions and additions. Xll PREFACE. Acknowledgments (additional to those rendered in vol. ii. pp. vii.-xi.) for many courtesies and facilities would assuredly have been made by Mr Amours him- self, especially to Mr R. G. Erskine Wemyss of Wemyss, who kindly lent to the Society the Wemyss MS.; to Mr John Ferguson, Writer, Duns, who similarly lent the Auchinleck MS. ; and to Dr W. A. Craigie, Oxford, who communicated some transcriptions and notes. The Society itself desires not only to express its gratitude to these gentlemen, but also to apologise for offering only general acknowledgment to others whose services were helpful to Mr Amours. The present volume has been put through the press by Mr J. T. T. Brown and Dr Geo. Neilson, who have to thank Dr Maitland Thomson for the communication of most important documents concerning the biography of Wyntoun, and who are also indebted to Miss Mary Love for much attention to the proof-sheets of this volume. They have also particularly to acknowledge the great helpfulness of Mrs Amours in searching out from her husband’s papers, &c., many supplementary materials now used for the Introduction. October 1914. '■fi****' Photo by IVatneuke, Glasgow. FRANCIS JOSEPH AMOURS. MEMOIR.1 The death of our distinguished contributor, Monsieur Francis Joseph Amours, has deprived Scotland of a profound student of the national literary antiquities. Perhaps there is no other instance of a French- man getting so complete a mastery of Old Scots, and thus winning recognition as a foremost authority. He was born on 23rd No- vember 1841 at the village of Tilleul-Othon in Normandy, in the department of Eure, the son of Pierre Joseph Amours and Rosalie Adele Conard. So well were the foundations of his education laid by the good cure of Tilleul-Othon that on his going, at the age of eighteen, to the College of Bernay he proved a brilliant student. Under Principal Roger he was dux in all subjects, and carried off the -prix d'honneur offered by the Minister of Education. He took his degree of Bachelier-es-Lettres of the University of France at Caen in 1862. By this time he seems to have given up any idea of entering the Church, and he became for a short while a Regent in the College of Lisieux; In 1864 he was granted unlimited leave {conge d’inac- tivitt sans traitemenf) from the Minister of Education, who was then the famous historian, Victor Duruy. Passing over into Eng- land, he taught in a private school in Gloucestershire until 1867. He was then appointed assistant to M. Havet, a well-known French master in Edinburgh, where he resided until 1869, when he was chosen French master in Glasgow Academy. After fifteen years there he was preferred to the like position in Glasgow High School, where he remained until his retiral on a pension after twenty years’ service in 1904. During those five and thirty years of active teaching in this country he passed through his hands a very large number of students of French, and there are many who remember with grat- itude and admiration (chequered, of course, with the godly fear inseparable from the part) his systematic and thorough methods of instruction, and his encouragement of pupils of promise.

Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

  • Wessex and the Reign of Edmund Ii Ironside
    Chapter 16 Wessex and the Reign of Edmund ii Ironside David McDermott Edmund Ironside, the eldest surviving son of Æthelred ii (‘the Unready’), is an often overlooked political figure. This results primarily from the brevity of his reign, which lasted approximately seven months, from 23 April to 30 November 1016. It could also be said that Edmund’s legacy compares unfavourably with those of his forebears. Unlike other Anglo-Saxon Kings of England whose lon- ger reigns and periods of uninterrupted peace gave them opportunities to leg- islate, renovate the currency or reform the Church, Edmund’s brief rule was dominated by the need to quell initial domestic opposition to his rule, and prevent a determined foreign adversary seizing the throne. Edmund conduct- ed his kingship under demanding circumstances and for his resolute, indefati- gable and mostly successful resistance to Cnut, his career deserves to be dis- cussed and his successes acknowledged. Before discussing the importance of Wessex for Edmund Ironside, it is con- structive, at this stage, to clarify what is meant by ‘Wessex’. It is also fitting to use the definition of the region provided by Barbara Yorke. The core shires of Wessex may be reliably regarded as Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berk- shire and Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight).1 Following the victory of the West Saxon King Ecgbert at the battle of Ellendun (Wroughton, Wilts.) in 835, the borders of Wessex expanded, with the counties of Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Essex passing from Mercian to West Saxon control.2 Wessex was not the only region with which Edmund was associated, and nor was he the only king from the royal House of Wessex with connections to other regions.

GAVIN DOUGLAS’S AENEADOS: CAXTON’S ENGLISH AND "OUR SCOTTIS LANGAGE" Jacquelyn Hendricks In his 1513 translation of Virgil’s Aeneid, titled Eneados, Gavin Douglas begins with a prologue in which he explicitly attacks William Caxton’s 1490 Eneydos. Douglas exclaims that Caxton’s work has “na thing ado” with Virgil’s poem, but rather Caxton “schamefully that story dyd pervert” (I Prologue 142-145).1 Many scholars have discussed Douglas’s reaction to Caxton via the text’s relationship to the rapidly spreading humanist movement and its significance as the first vernacular version of Virgil’s celebrated epic available to Scottish and English readers that was translated directly from the original Latin.2 This attack on Caxton has been viewed by 1 All Gavin Douglas quotations and parentheical citations (section and line number) are from D.F.C.
