The first four articles in this issue deal with the written tradition and trans- mission of medieval English and German charms, with special attention being paid to manuscript contexts. In the first paper, Lea Olsan reviews the types of charms employed in order to relieve fevers in medieval England from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the fifteenth century, and turns an especial focus upon practical rituals (the method of writing sacred words on the hand with ink for consumption in a liquid potion) for healing fevers that involve inscribing and consuming communion hosts. Patricia O’ Connor focuses on the Anglo-Saxon Bee Charm, a charm which accompanies a passage from Chapter XVII of Book III of the Old English Bede. Her critical reconsideration of the Bee Charm within its immediate manuscript context contributes to our understanding both of the function of this type of charms within Anglo-Saxon society, especially of how these charms were per- ceived and circulated within late Anglo-Saxon England. Continuing the theme of Anglo-Saxon charms, Katherine Hindley systemati- cally approaches the techniques of charming found in England after the Nor- man Conquest. More specifically she deals with the sudden striking increase in the proportion of charms using written words and explores this post-Conquest change by examining examples preserved in manuscripts written or owned in England from the Anglo-Saxon period to 1350. A medieval German love charm, the Pervinca love charm, is thoroughly examined by Eleonora Cianci. Her article is the first attempt to make the com- plete unedited 15th century German text available to researchers. The author does not only provide the transcription from the manuscript and translation into English, but also a brief description of its content as part of her holistic approach to the text. The next two papers focus on the ethnographic context of charm practices. Sonja Petrović investigates how charming practices continue to be transmitted, valued and questioned in contemporary Serbia, work based on field material and scholarly literature. Taking into account the constant motifs in the narra- tive accounts of charmers concerning not only their practice, receiving, passing on and protecting magical knowledge, but also their relation towards patients and official medicine, she sheds light on the social, cultural and symbolic roles of traditional charmers. Laura Jiga Iliescu investigates a very interesting religious practice of hidden rituals, whose traces are preserved in the Christian churches’ frescoes from the Romanian Orthodox space, which is represented by the act of voluntarily scratching the eyes of the saints painted on the wall. The paper systematizes the few references concerning this ritual entirety as well as seeking information about the relations established between the official dogma and the religious practices as actuated in the case of the icon and the saint’s figure in the nine- teenth century Romania. Last but not least, Davor Nikolić and Josipa Tomašić offer an overview of critical reflections on charms in Croatian folkloristics and related disciplines, such as literary theory and history, and paleoslavistics. By highlighting the most important steps in the institutionalization of folklore research in Croatia, the authors cast light on the status of verbal charms both in the process of field research and the scholarly sphere. I wish to express my gratitude to all the authors who have contributed with their papers to the successful completion of this issue. I am also immensely grateful to Jonathan Roper for all his kind advice and support in editing the journal, as well as to the anonymous reviewers of the journal for their sugges- tions and comments. Thanks to their cooperation, Incantatio remains a serious scholarly journal and a fascinatingly broad view on charm studies. Haralampos Passalis, guest editor 8 www.folklore.ee/incantatio https://doi.org/10.7592/Incantatio_2018_7_Olsan WRITING ON THE HAND IN INK: A LATE MEDIEVAL INNOVATION IN FEVER CHARMS IN ENGLAND Lea T. Olsan This paper reviews the types of charms employed to relieve fevers in medieval England from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the fifteenth century with at- tention to the manuscript contexts in which the charms are found. In the second part, the paper focuses more closely on charms and practical rituals for healing fevers that involve inscribing and consuming communion hosts. It argues that the method of writing sacred words on the hand with ink to be washed into a potion and consumed came into favour in the late Middle Ages at a time when writing on wafers was becoming problematic. Keywords: verbal charms, textual amulets, medieval medicine, writing, fevers, medieval manuscripts INTRODUCTION Unlike charms to stop bleeding, which people expected to take effect quickly, fever charms offered relief from the symptoms of a sickness with an expecta- tion that it would have an effect over time, often days, from the time of the performance. Unlike charms for toothache, which prevented painful attacks in the future, fever charms and some lengthy religious rituals including masses, addressed the possibility that the patient might die if the current fever did not abate. The variation known as the Petrus ante portam acted as a preventative. It relied on a narrative formula or historiola (Roper 2005, Bozoky 2003) that could be written

  • Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites
    Appendix A The Ten Commandments for Websites Welcome to the appendixes! At this stage in your learning, you should have all the basic skills you require to build a high-quality website with insightful consideration given to aspects such as accessibility, search engine optimization, usability, and all the other concepts that web designers and developers think about on a daily basis. Hopefully with all the different elements covered in this book, you now have a solid understanding as to what goes into building a website (much more than code!). The main thing you should take from this book is that you don’t need to be an expert at everything but ensuring that you take the time to notice what’s out there and deciding what will best help your site are among the most important elements of the process. As you leave this book and go on to updating your website over time and perhaps learning new skills, always remember to be brave, take risks (through trial and error), and never feel that things are getting too hard. If you choose to learn skills that were only briefly mentioned in this book, like scripting, or to get involved in using content management systems and web software, go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. With that in mind, let’s go over the 10 most important messages I would personally recommend. After that, I’ll give you some useful resources like important websites for people learning to create for the Internet and handy software. Advice is something many professional designers and developers give out in spades after learning some harsh lessons from what their own bitter experiences.

  • “Sitte Ge Sigewif, Sigað to Eorðe”: Settling the Anglo-Saxon Bee Charm Within Its Christian Manuscript Context
    https://doi.org/10.7592/Incantatio2018_7_O’Connor “SITTE GE SIGEWIF, SIGAÐ TO EORÐE”: SETTLING THE ANGLO-SAXON BEE CHARM WITHIN ITS CHRISTIAN MANUSCRIPT CONTEXT. Patricia O’Connor The Anglo-Saxon Bee Charm is one of a select number of Old English charms that were previously described as being “strange companions” to the Old English Bede (Grant 5). Written in the outer margin of page 182 of Cambridge, Corpus Christi College MS 41 (CCCC41), the Bee Charm accompanies a passage from Chapter XVII of Book III of the Old English Bede which narrates the consecration of a monastic site. Curiously, however, the Bee Charm’s connection to this passage of the Old English Bede and its influence on our reading of this important text has hitherto been inadequately addressed. Consequently, the objective of this article is to critically reconsider the Bee Charm within its immediate manuscript context and to highlight and evaluate the correspondences shared between the Anglo-Saxon charm and the adjacent passage of the Old English Bede. This codi- cological reassessment seeks to present a new interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon Bee Charm through encouraging a more inclusive reading experience of CCCC41, which incorporates both the margins and the central text. In doing so, this study endeavours to offer significant insights into the function of theBee Charm within Anglo-Saxon society and to contribute to our understanding of how these charms were perceived and circulated within late Anglo-Saxon England. Keywords: Marginalia, Bees, Old English Bede, New Philology, Old English Literature, Palaeography, Scribal Practices. The Anglo-Saxon Bee Charm is one of a number of interesting texts that were inserted anonymously into the margins of a well-known manuscript witness of the Old English Bede.

  • Old English Literature: a Brief Summary
    Volume II, Issue II, June 2014 - ISSN 2321-7065 Old English Literature: A Brief Summary Nasib Kumari Student J.k. Memorial College of Education Barsana Mor Birhi Kalan Charkhi Dadri Introduction Old English literature (sometimes referred to as Anglo-Saxon literature) encompasses literature written in Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon) in Anglo-Saxon England from the 7th century to the decades after the Norman Conquest of 1066. "Cædmon's Hymn", composed in the 7th century according to Bede, is often considered the oldest extant poem in English, whereas the later poem, The Grave is one of the final poems written in Old English, and presents a transitional text between Old and Middle English.[1] Likewise, the Peterborough Chronicle continues until the 12th century. The poem Beowulf, which often begins the traditional canon of English literature, is the most famous work of Old English literature. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has also proven significant for historical study, preserving a chronology of early English history.Alexander Souter names the commentary on Paul's epistles by Pelagius "the earliest extant work by a British author".[2][3] In descending order of quantity, Old English literature consists of: sermons and saints' lives, biblical translations; translated Latin works of the early Church Fathers; Anglo-Saxon chronicles and narrative history works; laws, wills and other legal works; practical works ongrammar, medicine, geography; and poetry.[4] In all there are over 400 survivingmanuscripts from the period, of which about 189 are considered "major".[5] Besides Old English literature, Anglo-Saxons wrote a number of Anglo-Latin works.

  • Sequentia Benjamin Bagby, Director
    Sequentia Benjamin Bagby, director Benjamin Bagby voice and Anglo-Saxon harp Hanna Marti voice and harps Stef Conner voice Norbert Rodenkirchen wooden and bone flutes, harp Words of Power Charms, Riddles and Elegies of the Medieval Northlands (8th-11th centuries) The musicians of Sequentia present songs of magic, exile, of the uncertainty of fate, of longing and regret, of the healing power of magic herbs, of irony and just plain fun. The pagan roots of the recently christianized medieval north can still be discerned in some of the oldest manuscript sources known to us today: the Old English Beowulf epic (possibly 8th century), the Old Icelandic Edda, the poems surviving in ancient songbooks such as The 10th-century Exeter Book, and numerous fragments from Germany and Switzerland. Each of these chants, songs and spoken riddles gives us a glimpse into a time so distant from ours and yet near in spirit, a world of singing poets, warriors, valkyries and seeresses, healers and philosophers, whose creations were the first to be written down in English and other Germanic languages (in addition to Old English, we perform songs in Old High German and Old Icelandic, with a hint of Latin). In reconstructing lost musical traditions from this time, Sequentia searches once again to resonate again those long-silent, ancient voices, sometimes accompanied by harps and flutes, which would have been welcomed in any gathering of souls, pagan or Christian, those seeking help for their problems, entertaining their friends, or those giving voice to their longing for a lost partner, or a lost tribe.
