초록/해제  
요약 : A glossed-text edition of the first eight books of the Paraphrase (the Octateuch) is accompanied by a full commentary of explanatory notes that continue to explicate the outlines of the poem's place within the context of popular (and populist) interpretations of the Bible in the Middle Ages by revealing not only the specifics of sources but also the avenues for critical scholarship. Copious textual notes and a bibliography complete the dissertation.
초록/해제  
요약 : At 18,372 verses in 12-verse stanzas, The Middle English Metrical Paraphrase of the Old Testament is a mammoth work of the Chaucerian period; indeed, it is one of the most comprehensive biblical retellings in Middle English, paraphrasing a full sixteen books of the Old Testament (and bits of several others) into a vibrant sequence of entertaining stories.
초록/해제  
요약 : The initial section of the introduction to this edition of the Octateuch portion of the Paraphrase briefly lays out the basic bibliographical facts of the Paraphrase (its manuscripts, sources, date, provenance). A large portion of the discussion of dating naturally revolves around the establishment of literary sources; in this case, the Middle English works Pety Job and Cursor Mundi provide occasional content, while the structure of the poem is deeply indebted to a still-unpublished Old Testament paraphrase in Old French. Peter Comestor's famed Latin work Historia Scholastica (1169-1175) is revealed as the most pervasive non-biblical "voice" in the poem, and an earlier opinion that the poem utilized the York Plays is shown to be quite the reverse of history. Then, after a more extended discussion of biblical canon formation and the poem's relationship to Cassiodorus and the Codex Amiatinus, the introduction concentrates on the place of the poem within the cultural geography of late medieval England, a place that is integral in theory if not in effect. That is, the Paraphrase manages to engage primary cultural issues across the broadest possible spectrum, even if its own readership might have been comparatively small. Questions of audience and authorship play a key role in these discussions, as do issues of genre, gender, and theology.
