  • Cain's Kin and Abel's Blood: Beowulf 1361-4
    Opticon1826, Issue 9, Autumn 2010 CAIN’S KIN AND ABEL’S BLOOD: BEOWULF 1361-4 By Michael D.J. Bintley Amongst the various texts which are thought to have influenced the depiction of Grendel’s mere in Beowulf, the possibility has not yet been considered that the poet also drew upon a tradition associated with Grendel’s descent from Cain, also to be found in the composite Genesis poem of the Junius manuscript (Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Junius 11, SC 5123), and Aldhelm’s Carmen de virginitate. This connection only becomes apparent upon closer examination of the woodland grove overhanging the refuge in Grendel’s fens. Of the many trees that appear in Old English literature, few can be as sinister as these. These trees contribute memorably to Hrothgar’s description of the mere: Nis þæt feor heonon milgemearces þæt se mere standeð; ofer þæm hongiað hrinde bearwas, wudu wyrtum fæst wæter oferhelmað. It is not far hence in a measure of miles that the mere stands; over it hang frosty trees, a wood fast in its roots overshadows the water. (Beowulf 1361-4)1 These trees appear once again in the description of the journey to the mere following the attack by Grendel’s mother: Ofereode þa æþelinga bearn steap stanhliðo, stige nearwe, enge anpaðas, uncuð gelad, neowle næssas, nicorhusa fela; he feara sum beforan gengde wisra monna wong sceawian, oþ þæt he færinga fyrgenbeamas ofer harne stan helonian funde wynleasne wudu; wæter under stod dreorig on gedrefed. Then went those sons of nobles over steep and stony slopes, thin ascending paths, narrow single tracks, unknown ways, precipitous cliffs, many dwellings of water-monsters.

Abstract This doctoral dissertation investigates the writings of the Venerable Bede (673-735) in the context of miracles and the miraculous. It begins by exploring the patristic tradition through which he developed his own historical and hagiographical work, particularly the thought of Gregory the Great in the context of doubt and Augustine of Hippo regarding history and truth. It then suggests that Bede had a particular affinity for the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles as models for the writing of specifically ecclesiastical history. The use of sources to attest miracle narratives in six hagiographies known to Bede from Late Antiquity are explored before applying this knowledge to Bede and five of his early Insular contemporaries. The research is rounded off by a discussion of Bede’s use of miracles in the context of reform, particularly his desire to provide adequate pastoral care through his understanding of the ideal bishop best exemplified by Cuthbert and John of Beverley.

  • The Blickling Homilies R. Morris
    The Blickling Homilies Translated by R. Morris In parentheses Publications Old English Series Cambridge, Ontario 2000 I. The Annunciation of Saint Mary [Jesus came into the world in order that his divine] nature might be manifested, and that sin might be eradicated; and the doom of Eve’s infelicity, which was denounced against her (that she should bring forth her children in pain and in sorrow) was reversed when Mary brought forth the Lord with rejoicing. Eve conceived through carnal lust, Mary in her womb conceived the merciful and the innocent Christ. Eve bare tears in her womb, Mary brought forth through herself the everlasting joy for all the world. Eve brought forth her child in pain because she had conceived in sin. The Holy Ghost sowed the pure seed in the undefiled womb (of Mary), wherefore she, being a virgin became a mother, because, being a virgin, she had conceived. Each of these circumstances was miraculous, both that she had conceived without defilement, and that in child-bearing she continued ever immaculate. Gabriel was the messenger of these nuptials. What spake he to her, or what heard she when he spake? ‘Hail, Mary! full of grace, the Lord is with thee!’ And through this greeting (salutation) she conceived, because he brought her everlasting salvation upon his tongue; but the devil, through the venom-bearing (venomous) adder (serpent), deceived the first woman with his evil suggestions and treachery, wherefore the angel spake to our Lord’s mother, and thus addressed her: ‘Hail (Mary) full of grace, the Lord is with thee!’ The grace was brought for the sin of the first woman.

  • Völuspá and the Feast of Easter
    John McKinnell Völuspá and the Feast of Easter t is generally agreed that Völuspá has been infl uenced by Christian ideas to some extent, but the nature of that infl uence has been debated. Of course it is true, as Daniel Sävborg has pointed out ( 2003, 131), that all the Old Norse I poetry that survives comes from a time when Christianity was already to some extent infl uential in northern Europe. But there is a difference between the adop- tion of commonplace Christian expressions (such as calling Óðinn Alföðr ‘Father of all’, cf. Latin Pater omnium) or general ideas (e.g. that some beings will be resur- rected after Ragnarök) on the one hand, and on the other the suggestion that spe- cifi c Christian texts have been used as source material for Völuspá.1 This paper will address only the latter type of infl uence, and will consider what criteria should be used in evaluating whether any particular claimed source is probable or not. I shall then go on to make a suggestion of my own. The Religious Context of Völuspá It is fi rst necessary to consider whether Völuspá is genuinely pre-Christian or not. In polytheistic cultures, the measure of acceptance of a monotheistic religion is not whether its god is accepted, for a religious system with many gods can usually fi nd room for a new one without any basic alteration of itself. The real measure of conversion has to be the rejection of all gods except that of the monotheistic religion. We have several examples in Germanic sources of polytheists who also worshipped Christ—men such as the East Anglian king Rædwald or the Icelandic settler Helgi inn magri (Landnámabók chap.

  • Saint Guthlac, the Warrior of God in the Guthlac Poems of the Exeter Book1
    Ágnes Réffy Horváth Saint Guthlac, the Warrior of God in the Guthlac Poems of the Exeter Book1 During the Middle Ages, hagiography was one of the most common and typical literary genres. The lives of saints were sacred stories designed to teach the faithful to imitate actions which the Church decided were paradigmatic. The message was clear: ordinary Christians too must remain steadfast and resist the temptation of the forces of evil. In addition to this, the medieval hagiographer intended to show how God’s almighty power manifested itself in the miraculous acts of a particular saint. The genre became fashionable from the end of the fourth century. With Constantine’s reign the freedom of Christian worship was theoretically ensured in the Roman Empire. People were forced to look for new ways of proving their devotion in religion. Following in the steps of the prophet Elijah, John the Baptist and also the example of Jesus’ fasting in the wilderness, zealous Christians renounced worldly goods, chose solitude and asceticism, and went to live into the deserts under ascetic conditions. The biographies of these confessor saints were to be known as vitae. The most influential works of Christian hagiography were Athanasius’ Life of Anthony (and its Latin translation by Evagrius), Jerome’s Lives of Paul the Hermit, Hilarion and Malchus, Sulpicius Severus’s Life of Martin, and Pope Gregory’s Life of Benedict in his Dialogues. The example of the first “Desert Fathers” became well known almost imme- diately, and their lives inspired others. The Anglo-Saxon church became 1 The author is grateful for the support of the Soros Foundation and to Dr.

  • Constructing Anglo-Saxon Sanctity: Tradition, Innovation and Saint Guthlac
    CONSTRUCTING ANGLO-SAXON SANCTITY: TRADITION, INNOVATION AND SAINT GUTHLAC Alaric Hall “I became a historian,” Gary Dickson told me when I met him at a dinner of the Late Antique and Early Medieval Postgraduate Seminar series at the University of Edinburgh, “because I love literature.” The desire to analyse texts without having to dismantle one’s favourite lit- erature is an understandable one, but Gary’s comment was intended to be provocative. This study responds to the provocation by focusing on the cult of the Anglo-Saxon Saint Guthlac, but not on historians’ usual preferred source for his life, the Latin Vita Guthlaci. Rather, I focus primarily on the Old English poem, Guthlac A, traditionally viewed as a ‘literary’ rather than a ‘historical’ text. I argue that the poem affords insights into Anglo-Saxon constructions of sanctity which are not usually available from the Latin material; most notably, it illuminates ways in which tensions between traditional and Christian notions of ideal male behaviour were constructed and played out in Anglo-Saxon Christian discourses. Saint Guthlac has enjoyed increasing attention in recent years. He has had some catching up to do: Bede’s Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglo- rum does not mention him, so it was not until Bede’s dominance as the source of choice for eighth-century England was brought seriously into question in the 1980s—coincidentally with the rise of new, more culturally-orientated research questions—that the Latin evidence for Guthlac’s life and cult began to enjoy extensive scrutiny. Guthlac was one of Anglo-Saxon England’s rst home-grown saints, and the focus of considerable textual production.

    Moralejo Álvarez, José Luis 2013: Historia eclesiástica del pueblo de los anglos. Beda el Venerable. Madrid, Akal. pp. 336. ISBN: 978- 84-460-3223-⒍ 24 €. s Bertram Colgrave states in his introduction to the canonical edition of Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica AGentis Anglorum (henceforth, HE ), it “is probably one of the most popular history books in any language and has certainly retained its popularity longer than any rival” (1969: xvii). More than thirty years aft er Colgrave wrote these words, a century aft er Charles Plummer’s seminal edition and almost thirteen centuries aft er Bede’s completion of the HE, José Luis Moralejo Álvarez has translated this historiographical masterpiece into Spanish for the fi rst time. Providing such treasure for Spanish medievalists is a laudable enterprise in itself. Beyond the inherent worthiness of the project, Moralejo Álvarez’s skillfully executed translation deserves our praise: its accuracy makes it a perfect companion for the study of the original text and its naturally rendered Spanish makes us forget that we are dealing with a translation. This edition is supplemented by an introduction, explanatory footnotes and a translation of Cuthbert’s Letter on the Death of Bede. The introduction is divided into fi ve sections providing relevant information on Bede’s life and work, as well as on this particular translation. The fi rst one, “Beda el Venerable,” sketches a brief biography with the few known details about the quiet life of this scholar and monk. He devoted most of his time to his great interests, namely “aprender, enseñar o escribir” [“learning, teaching or writing”] (5), as he himself states in the last chapter of his history.
