Conclusion -- Appendix -- GLOSSARY OF TERMS -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX OF VERSES -- INDEX OF SUBJECTSBeowulf, like The Iliad and The Odyssey, is a foundational work of Western literature that originated in mysterious circumstances. In The Transmission of "Beowulf," Leonard Neidorf addresses philological questions that are fundamental to the study of the poem. Is Beowulf the product of unitary or composite authorship? How substantially did scribes alter the text during its transmission, and how much time elapsed between composition and preservation?Neidorf answers these questions by distinguishing linguistic and metrical regularities, which originate with the Beowulf poet, from patterns of textual corruption, which descend from copyists involved in the poem's transmission. He argues, on the basis of archaic features that pervade Beowulf and set it apart from other Old English poems, that the text preserved in the sole extant manuscript (ca. 1000) is essentially the work of one poet who composed it circa 700. Of course, during the poem's written transmission, several hundred scribal errors crept into its text. These errors are interpreted in the central chapters of the book as valuable evidence for language history, cultural change, and scribal practice. Neidorf's analysis reveals that the scribes earnestly attempted to standardize and modernize the text's orthography, but their unfamiliarity with obsolete words and ancient heroes resulted in frequent errors. The Beowulf manuscript thus emerges from his study as an indispensible witness to processes of linguistic and cultural change that took place in England between the eighth and eleventh centuries. An appendix addresses J. R. R. Tolkien's Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary, which was published in 2014. Neidorf assesses Tolkien's general views on the transmission of Beowulf and evaluates his position on various textual issues.Myth and poetics ;2.Epic poetry, English (Old)Criticism, TextualTransmission of textsEnglandHistoryTo 1500Language and cultureEnglandHistoryTo 1500Electronic books.Epic poetry, English (Old)Criticism, Textual.Transmission of textsHistoryLanguage and cultureHistory829.3Neidorf Leonard983249MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466234703321The transmission of Beowulf2244545UNINA01175nam0 22002411i 450 VAN004529620221122030955.58920060523d1938 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||Recenti aspetti caratteristici del diritto tributario italianobilancio e imposta di ricchezza mobile, l'imposta straordinaria progressiva sui redditi delle società, l'imposta straordinaria immobiliare, l'imposta sul capitale delle societa per azioni, riflessi tributari del conguaglio monetarioLuigi BiamontiRomaIl foro italiano1938185 p.26 cmRomaVANL000360BiamontiLuigiVANV035269233459Il foro italianoVANV109475650ITSOL20221125RICABIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZAIT-CE0105VAN00VAN0045296BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZA00CONS XIX.Ea.10 00FP 27855 20061123 Fondo Raffaele PapaRecenti aspetti caratteristici del diritto tributario italiano645875UNISOB
