Be- tween the extremes of diplomatic documentation and reconstruction by means of arbitrary conjectural criticism lies the domain of stemmatics. In this context, there is, right from the start, a wide range of goals, methods, and forms of realisation that have survived even the “iconoclasm of the ‘New Philology’” (Heinzle 2003, 1; “der Bildersturm der ‘New Philology’”). The following short historical survey can only outline, by means of examples, the main stages and aspects, concentrating on the way in which variation is handled and the role that is assigned, or alternatively denied, to stemmatics. It focuses on the stemmatics of the courtly epic around AD 1200, since it is here that the great controversies have flared up, right up to the present day. 7.4.1. Lachmann’s recensio of the courtly epic ca. AD 1200 Lachmann, as is well known, never provided a stemma in his editions and was altogether sparing with the details he provided of the manuscript relationships – this applies not only to Lachmann the classical philologist (Timpanaro 2005) but also to Lachmann the Germanist (Sparnaay 1948; Ganz 1968; Fiesoli 2000, 269–358). In the case of Middle High German poetry, the reason for this was not so much Lachmann’s oracular style (Timpanaro 2005, 96, 117) but the result of his recensio. It was always directed at the oldest attainable text in the manuscript tradition; Lach- mann was interested in the history of a textual tradition not in its own right but only insofar as it was necessary for the establishment of the critical text, just as in the case of classical texts (Timpanaro 2005, 72). Three texts with an extensive manu- script tradition may serve as examples. In the case of the Nibelungenlied (1st ed. 1826, notes (with full variants) 1836, 2nd ed. 1841), the main problem with any assessment of the manuscript tradition is the transition from oral tradition to the book epic and its written tradition, which took place in various stages at the beginning of the thirteenth century (for an over- view of the subject from a modern perspective, see Heinzle 2013, 998–1006). The complex problems cannot be explored here in detail. According to Lachmann’s re- censio, the oldest stage of the text is represented by only one manuscript (A); all others go back to an adaptation, *B, which appears in a subgroup in a further com- prehensive adaptation, *C. For the establishment of the text of *A, the textual tradi- tion of *B and *C is – because of their character as adaptations – only of limited value, that is to say, significant only when it allows the reading of A to be supported 7.4 Mediaeval German 467 or, in the case of deviations from it, allows corruptions of the archetype *A to be established: “every word that is not in A is of no greater importance than a conjec- ture. All other manuscripts are teeming with obvious conjectures” (Lachmann 1841, x; “jedes wort das nicht in A steht, [hat] keine größere beglaubigung als eine conjec- tur. alle anderen handschriften wimmeln von augenscheinlichen conjecturen”). By this, Lachmann meant that emendations had been made to passages in the older text, *A, “where readers and scribes of the thirteenth century took offence” (Lach- mann 1841, x; “woran leser und schreiber des dreizehnten jahrhunderts anstoß nah- men”). Lachmann’s edition offers the reconstructed text of *A. The apparatus con- tains the variant readings of adaptation *B, as far as they could be reconstructed; otherwise, it gives the readings of individual manuscripts which could help estab- lish the text of *B. Whereas *A is transmitted directly in only one manuscript, Lach- mann had at his disposal eleven manuscripts for *B and six for *C (Lachmann 1841, x). Since Lachmann attempted to reconstruct the places where adaptation *B varied from *A, one might expect him to have provided details of the manuscript relation- ships in this group. However, we find only the conclusion that the manuscripts of *B in part diverge substantially and then do not permit the reconstruction of *B. Lachmann’s edition offers no more specific explanation of his findings regarding the manuscript tradition, probably because he assumed this to be obvious. As we learn from Lachmann’s 1817 review of von der Hagen’s edition of the Nibelungenlied, based on manuscript B (1816), he posited in the case of *B (and, by analogy, proba- bly also of *C) an unstable archetype: at the beginning of the manuscript tradition of the adaptation *B, there existed a manuscript with the text of *A, in which the *B adapter had noted his changes and additions in the margin; in part the copies of *B took over the changes and additions, in part they ignored them, and in part they introduced their own (Lachmann 1876, 1:87). The basic picture of the manuscript tradition in the case of Iwein presents itself to Lachmann in a scarcely more favourable light (the establishment of the text and the variants in this edition are by Lachmann; see Lutz-Hensel 1975, 337–342). He states: The oldest manuscript, A, does not show a closer relationship to any of the others: changes that are clearly intentional are never shared with another manuscript.

    Uuarth Thuo the Hêlago Gêst That Barn an Ira Bôsma: Towards a Scholarly Electronic Edition of the Hêliand

    Marina BUZZONI (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) Technical support: Francesca ANZALONE, Filippo CABURLOTTO Uuarth thuo the hêlago gêst that barn an ira bôsma: towards a scholarly electronic edition of the Hêliand Despite the traditional presentation of the Hêliand as one single work – an idea which is both induced and implemented by the most common editions of the Old Saxon poem (see, for example, Taeger 1984ff.) –, the two major witnesses of the text (ms. M and ms. C) differ in many respects, codicologically, linguistically, geographically – to quote only a few of them –. The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it focuses on the historical and ideological motivations which are assumed to be at the basis of the aforementioned differences; on the other hand, it explores the possibility of the electronic medium to adequately convey them. To achieve this purpose, we will need to do more than add hypertext connectivity to existing models of the presentation of editorial data. Rather, we will need to find new means of visualization as a prelude to a much greater challenge: the making of what may be called a “fluid edition”, able to capture the inner “mouvance” of the Old Saxon poem. Giuseppe BRUNETTI (Università di Padova) Old English poetry: a Web edition with multiple representations of the lexicon The words of the poems are tagged in XML for the relevant information in context (lemma, word class, homography, government, morphology, Italian translation); this is done with a semi- automatic lemmatizer developed for the purpose. The tagging is then used to produce editions of the texts (either singly, like Beowulf, or in groups, like the Elegies) accompanied by interlinear glosses, glossaries (Old English-Italian and Italian-Old English), concordances by lemmas, lists of word forms (with their matching lemmas, homographs distinguished), lists of compounds and poetic words, of words governing cases and/or clauses, statistics of lemmas and word classes, and graphs of word-class distribution of each poem (or group of poems) in relation to the corpus.

Who is Behind it? The Israeli Center for Victims of Cults (ICVC) is well-known in Israel for its activities against a number of religious and spiritual movements that are depicted as harmful and dangerous. Over the years, the ICVC has managed to garner easy access to the media and Israeli government due to its moral panic narratives and campaign for an anti-cult law. It is therefore not surprising that the ICVC has also emerged in Europe, in particular, on the website of FECRIS (European Federation of Centers of Research and Information on Cults and Sects), as its Israel correspondent.1 For many years, FECRIS has been heavily criticized by international human rights organizations for fomenting social hostility and hate speech towards non-mainstream religions and worldviews, usually of foreign origin, and for stigmatizing members of these groups.2 Religious studies scholars and the scientific establishment in general have also denounced FECRIS for the lack of expertise of their so-called “cult experts”.

By analyzing the words and deeds of the President of the Republic and the case law of the Constitutional Court the paper claims that these two supreme constitutional authorities always refused to identify a set of constitutional values which cannot be touched by the European Union (EU). On the contrary, the paper suggests that both the President of the Republic and the Constitutional Court have endeavoured to emphasize the axiological overlap between the Italian Constitution and the project of European integration, considering Italy’s membership to the EU as the best way to fulfil the Constitution’s mandate.

    PRESS RELEASE 9 April Sees the Birth of Eutopia Ideas for Europe

    PRESS RELEASE 9 April sees the birth of Eutopia Ideas for Europe Magazine The first webzine about Europe. In European European political integration has reached a standstill. Trying to revive it without creating a European public opinion is unthinkable. We need to discuss what kind of Europe we want to build and do it in Europe, overcoming the linguistic and cultural barriers between countries. Eutopia, the first European webzine to address crucial issues for our future as Europeans, in a rigorous, structured but accessible way, has been created for this purpose. With this in mind, we have brought together, for a unique collaboration, four prestigious European publishers: S.Fischer Verlag in Germany, Editorial Debate in Spain, Éditions du Seuil in France and Editori Laterza in Italy. They will work with other partners including Telecom Italia and the European Institute - London School of Economics as the Academic Partner. The magazine's director is Eric Joszef, Italian correspondent of the French newspaper Libération. Authors including Zygmunt Bauman, Luciano Canfora, Paul Collier, to name a few, will express their thoughts, interpreting current issues with a continental perspective, because a united Europe needs a public debate that goes beyond national borders. We're convinced that a European culture and approach are missing when it comes to dealing with the big issues of our time. The magazine will be presented at 5.00 p.m. on Wednesday, 9 April at the offices of the publisher Laterza (Via di Villa Sacchetti 17, Rome). The presentation will be attended by Giuseppe Laterza, Marcella Logli, Eric Joszef, Lucio Caracciolo as well as others including Giuliano Amato, Tullio De Mauro, Andrea Giardina, Stefano Rodotà.
  • The Spirit of Lachmann, the Spirit of Bédier: Old Norse Textual Editing in the Electronic Age by Odd Einar Haugen

    The Spirit of Lachmann, the Spirit of Bédier: Old Norse Textual Editing in the Electronic Age by Odd Einar Haugen

    The spirit of Lachmann, the spirit of Bédier: Old Norse textual editing in the electronic age by Odd Einar Haugen Paper read at the annual meeting of The Viking Society, University College London, 8 November 2002 Electronic version, 20 January 2003 Introduction In this paper I would like to discuss some central aspects of textual editing, as it has been practised in Old Norse studies for the past century, and since we now are at the beginning of a new century, I shall venture some opinions on the direction of textual editing in the digital age. I shall do so by beginning with two key figures of modern textual history, the German scholar Karl Lachmann (1793–1851) and the French scholar and author Joseph Bédier (1864–1938). Their approaches to the art and science of editing are still highly relevant. Lachmann The scientific foundation of textual editing has been credited to Karl Lachmann and other classical scholars such as Karl Gottlob Zumpt (1792–1849), Johan Nicolai Madvig (1804–1886) and Friedrich Ritschel (1806–1876). Lachmann himself was active in the fields of Medieval editing, with Nibelungen lied (1826), in Biblical studies, with his new edition of the Greek New testament (1831), and in Classical scholarship, with his edition of Lucrets’ De rerum natura (1850). This made Lachmann’s name known throughout all fields of textual editing, and with some reservations it is probably fair to attach his name to the great changes of editorial techniques made in the begin- ning of the 19th century. However, as Sebastiano Timpanaro (1923–2000) points out in his important study of Lachmann’s contribution, Die Entstehung der Lachmannschen Methode (1971), the method was basically a method of genealogical analysis.

    Catalogue of Manuscripts in the Roth Collection’, Contributed by Cecil Roth Himself to the Alexander Marx Jubilee Volume (New York, 1950), Where It Forms Pp

    Handlist 164 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Provisional handlist of manuscripts in the Roth Collection Introduction Dr Cecil Roth (1899-1970), the Jewish historian, was born on 5 March 1899 in Dalston, London, the youngest of the four sons of Joseph and Etty Roth. Educated at the City of London School, he saw active service in France in 1918 and then read history at Merton College, Oxford, obtaining a first class degree in modern history in 1922, and a DPhil in 1924; his thesis was published in 1925 as The Last Florentine Republic. In 1928 he married Irene Rosalind Davis. They had no children. Roth soon turned to Jewish studies, his interest from childhood, when he had a traditional religious education and learned Hebrew from the Cairo Genizah scholar Jacob Mann. He supported himself by freelance writing until in 1939 he received a specially created readership in post-biblical Jewish studies at the University of Oxford, where he taught until his retirement in 1964. He then settled in Israel and divided his last years between New York, where he was visiting professor at Queens’ College in City University and Stern College, and Jerusalem. He died in Jerusalem on 21 June 1970. Roth’s literary output was immense, ranging from definitive histories of the Jews both globally and in several particular countries, to bibliographical works, studies of painting, scholarly research, notably on the Dead Sea scrolls, and biographical works. But his crowning achievement was the editorship of the Encyclopaedia Judaica, which appeared in the year of his death. Throughout his life Roth collected both books and manuscripts, and art objects.

    Jewish Intertestamental and Early Rabbinic Literature: an Annotated Bibliographic Resource Updated (Part 1)

    JETS 55/2 (2012) 235–72 JEWISH INTERTESTAMENTAL AND EARLY RABBINIC LITERATURE: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCE UPDATED (PART 1) DAVID W. CHAPMAN AND ANDREAS J. KÖSTENBERGER* Twelve years ago we published a bibliography that is now due for a substantial update. 1 The field of Jewish literature can be mystifying to the non- specialist. The initial obstacle often is where to go for texts, translations, concordances, and bibliography. Even many researchers more familiar with these materials often fail to take advantage of the best critical texts, translations, and helps currently available. The goal of this article is to summarize in a single location the principal texts, translations, and foundational resources for the examination of the central Jewish literature potentially pertinent to the background study of early Christianity. Generally, the procedure followed for each Jewish writing is to list the most important works in the categories of: bibliography, critical text, translation, concordance/index, lexical or grammatical aides, introduction, and commentary. Where deemed helpful, more than one work may be included. English translations, introductions, and helps are generally preferred. Most entries are listed alphabetically by author, but bibliographies and texts are typically listed in reverse chronological order from date of publication. Also provided in many instances are the language(s) of extant manuscripts and the likely dates of composition reflecting the current scholarly consensus. While the emphasis is on printed editions, some computer-based resources are noted. Many older printed texts have been scanned and are now available online; we will note when these appear on http://archive.org (often links can also be found through http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu or http://books.google.com).

    “It Took a Global Conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British

    Keynames: M. S. Bartlett, D.G. Kendall, stochastic processes, World War II Wordcount: 17,843 words “It took a global conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British Mathematics John Aldrich Economics Department University of Southampton Southampton SO17 1BJ UK e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the twentieth century probability became a “respectable” branch of mathematics. This paper describes how in Britain the transformation came after the Second World War and was due largely to David Kendall and Maurice Bartlett who met and worked together in the war and afterwards worked on stochastic processes. Their interests later diverged and, while Bartlett stayed in applied probability, Kendall took an increasingly pure line. March 2020 Probability played no part in a respectable mathematics course, and it took a global conflict to change both British mathematics and D. G. Kendall. Kingman “Obituary: David George Kendall” Introduction In the twentieth century probability is said to have become a “respectable” or “bona fide” branch of mathematics, the transformation occurring at different times in different countries.1 In Britain it came after the Second World War with research on stochastic processes by Maurice Stevenson Bartlett (1910-2002; FRS 1961) and David George Kendall (1918-2007; FRS 1964).2 They also contributed as teachers, especially Kendall who was the “effective beginning of the probability tradition in this country”—his pupils and his pupils’ pupils are “everywhere” reported Bingham (1996: 185). Bartlett and Kendall had full careers—extending beyond retirement in 1975 and ‘85— but I concentrate on the years of setting-up, 1940-55.
