  • Elves on the Brain: Chaucer, Old English, and <Italic>Elvish</Italic>
    ELVES ON THE BRAIN: CHAUCER, OLD ENGLISH, AND ELVISH Abstract: Because Chaucer, through the mouthpiece of Harry Bailey, described himself as elvish in line 703 of the prologue to The Tale of Sir Thopas, the precise meanings of the Middle English word elvish have at- tracted a fair amount of commentary. Besides a reassessment of previous work by J. A. Burrow in 1995, the word has recently enjoyed a thorough consideration by Richard Firth Green. Green emphasised that to understand the reference in the prologue to Sir Thopas, we must also consider the se- mantics of elvish elsewhere in Chaucer’s work, in lines 751 and 842 of The Canon’s Yeoman’s Tale. He argued further that Chaucer’s usage of elvish is liable to have drawn connotations from the meanings of its root elf – and ably elucidated these. However, some useful evidence for the meanings of elvish has been passed over. One revealing Middle English attestation re- mains to be adduced. Moreover, Old English attests once to elvish’s etymon ælfisc, as well as to another adjectival derivative of the elf-word, ylfig. The evidence of these Old English words is more complex, but also more re- vealing, than has been realised. Taken together, this new evidence affords new perspectives on the history of elvish, on what it may have meant to Chaucer, and on the significance of elves in medieval English-speaking cul- tures. In particular, while Chaucer doubtless kept elves in mind as he used elvish, in ways which Green’s research illuminates, the word seems certain- ly in Old and Middle English to have had developed senses not strictly re- lated to its literal meaning, along the lines of ‘delusory’, while the apparent sense of elvish in the prologue to Sir Thopas, ‘abstracted’, finds parallels in the Old English ylfig.

  • Jón the Fleming: Low German in Thirteenth-Century Norway and Fourteenth-Century Iceland
    Alaric Hall LWPLP, 18, 2013 Jón the Fleming: Low German in thirteenth-century Norway and fourteenth-century Iceland Alaric Hall The University of Leeds, UK Abstract Low German influence is one of the most prominent characteristics of Old Norse in the later medieval period, but the processes whereby this took place are little evidenced. However, Laurentius saga, Einarr Hafliða- son’s fourteenth-century Icelandic biography of Bishop Laurentius Kálf- sson, provides anecdotal evidence for this that has been overlooked by researchers. The anecdotes concern the linguistic (mis)adventures of a Low German-speaker in thirteenth-century Norway—the otherwise un- known Jón flæmingi (Johannes the Fleming)—and, perhaps uniquely in medieval Scandinavian texts, they also provide a representation of L2 Norse. Problematic and brief though this source is, it affords us valu- able perspectives both on fourteenth-century Icelandic metalinguistic discourses and on the processes whereby Low German influence took place in thirteenth- to fourteenth-century Norse. Contrary to some re- cent assumptions, Laurentius saga suggests that Low German and Old Norse were not seen as mutually intelligible; it provides some support for the idea that Low German influence was responsible not only for loan words into Old Norse, but also for morphological levelling; and empha- sises that in seeking vectors of Low German influence on Old Norse we should look not only to Hanseatic traders, but also to the Church. 1 Introduction Perhaps the most dramatic changes that took place in the North Germanic languages during the Middle Ages were massive Low German influence on the lexicon (Simensen, 2002–5) and, in the Continental varieties, the pro- found reduction of morphological complexity (Mørck, 2002–5).1 However, 1I use the term Low German here inclusively, to denote all the West Germanic varieties spoken along the North Sea and Baltic coasts, from Flanders in the West to the eastern Baltic.

  • The Celtic Names of Dinckley and Sankey in Lancashire
    The Celtic Names of Dinckley and Sankey in Lancashire Andrew Breeze Dinckley is in Lancashire; so was Sankey Brook until local govern­ ment reform in 1974 divided it between Lancashire and Cheshire. Both have Celtic names of obscure origin. This note suggests etymologies for them, perhaps shedding light on the region’s landscape and society before the Anglo-Saxon occupation.1 Dinckley, near Blackburn Dinckley (SD 6836) is a small parish (about a mile square) with no village, on the south side of the Ribble five miles north of Blackburn. It is recorded as Dunkythele and Dinkedelay in 1246 and Dinkedelegh in 1257, forms explained as perhaps from Celtic din ‘fort’ and coed ‘wood’ (meaning ‘fort by a wood’) plus Old English leah ‘wood’.2 But what follows challenges this, suggesting another interpretation. There is no problem here with Celtic din ‘fort’. Yet the rest of the name is hardly Celtic coed ‘wood’ + English leah ‘wood’, as this does not explain the final e in the second element -kythe-, -kede-, and -kede-. So much was pointed out by the anonymous referee of this paper’s first draft. He or she thus suggested a parallel between -kythele and Kidwelly ‘land of Cadwal’ in Carmarthenshire (though admitting that the absence of w in the Lancashire name is 1 The author records his warm appreciation of the comments of an anonymous referee on an earlier version of this paper. 2 Eilert Ekwall, The concise Oxford dictionary of English place-names (4th edn, Oxford, i960), p. 145; Richard Coates and Andrew Breeze, Celtic voices, English places (Stamford, 2000), pp.

    MONDAY 03 JULY 2017: 09.00-10.30 Session: 1 Great Hall KEYNOTE LECTURE 2017: THE MEDITERRANEAN OTHER AND THE OTHER MEDITERRANEAN: PERSPECTIVE OF ALTERITY IN THE MIDDLE AGES (Language: English) Nikolas P. Jaspert, Historisches Seminar, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg DRAWING BOUNDARIES: INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION IN MEDIEVAL ISLAMIC SOCIETIES (Language: English) Eduardo Manzano Moreno, Instituto de Historia, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Madrid Introduction: Hans-Werner Goetz, Historisches Seminar, Universität Hamburg Details: ‘The Mediterranean Other and the Other Mediterranean: Perspective of Alterity in the Middle Ages’: For many decades, the medieval Mediterranean has repeatedly been put to use in order to address, understand, or explain current issues. Lately, it tends to be seen either as an epitome of transcultural entanglements or - quite on the contrary - as an area of endemic religious conflict. In this paper, I would like to reflect on such readings of the Mediterranean and relate them to several approaches within a dynamic field of historical research referred to as ‘xenology’. I will therefore discuss different modalities of constructing self and otherness in the central and western Mediterranean during the High and Late Middle Ages. The multiple forms of interaction between politically dominant and subaltern religious communities or the conceptual challenges posed by trans-Mediterranean mobility are but two of the vibrant arenas in which alterity was necessarily both negotiated and formed during the medieval millennium. Otherness is however not reduced to the sphere of social and thus human relations. I will therefore also reflect on medieval societies’ dealings with the Mediterranean Sea as a physical and oftentimes alien space.
