But Nos. i, ii, iv, vii, xiii and xv are new, the +important shorter pieces, Nos. vi, viii, xvi, xviii, xxi and xxiii, are +printed in full, and some, as Nos. viii and ix, are taken from +additional or better manuscripts. The pieces are arranged tentatively in +what appears to be the chronological order of their composition, but +Nos. xix and xvii should have come before the Ancrene Wisse, and No. vii +has been placed next to the Proverbs of Alfred, from which it appears to +be derived. It is hoped that those who study the older book will find in +the present one a useful supplement.</p> + +<p>The texts follow the manuscripts in all details. The syntax being +comparatively simple, there is not much to be gained by modern +punctuation, and that of the manuscripts has gained a fresh importance +from theories which have been founded upon it. Where obvious mistakes +have been corrected in the text, notice is always given in the +footnotes. Additions are made within square brackets, and +interlineations are printed between accents.</p> + +<p>My best thanks are due to the custodians of the libraries for the +facilities which with uniform kindness they extended to me in the +collation of the manuscripts.</p> + +<p class = "right">J.

Its contents are ... +(2) the scrap here marked A; (3) the pieces B and C with five +more fragments of the same poem. A completes the page on which the +glossary ends, and B is on the verso of the leaf. The leaves have been +slightly shorn at one side and reduced at top and bottom, but probably +to no great extent: the conjectural complement, which is here printed +within square brackets, is for the most part fairly obvious, the more so +as portions of the lost letters often remain. The whole MS. is in the +same large square hand, but the pieces in verse, which are written +continuously, like prose, are less carefully executed.

Whether he meant thereby to +indicate shortness of the vowel or length of the consonant is +disputed.... Where the consonant after an open syllable is in fact +short, Orm often places a breve over the preceding short vowel.... +Likewise he uses very seldom an almost horizontal accent to indicate +vowel length, as á 174, but more frequently, as if to emphasize his +warning against possible error, doubles it ... even for greater +insistence trebles it ... mostly before final t.</p> + +<p class = "inset"> +“Furthermore, Orm invented a special symbol {g} with a flat top +projecting on both sides for the guttural stop g, reserving the +continental g for the dzh sound in such words as egge (edge), leggen, +seggen: the latter occurs in this extract only in gluternesse 167, and +that by mistake.”</p> + +<p>This page image shows all three “g” forms, with Orm’s unique {g} in +the first line, and insular “g” in the third.

The Bestiary is written continuously, but the +initials of the lines and, in the long metres, of the half lines are +mostly rubricated.... Latin headings are in red, some are on the margin, +the others at the head of their sections. As will be seen from the +footnotes, the manuscript was much corrected or altered over erasures, +and that after it was finished, for the substituted words do not always +fill the gaps left by the scraper.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/26413-h/images/dot.gif b/26413-h/images/dot.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8844835 --- /dev/null +++ b/26413-h/images/dot.gif diff --git a/26413-h/images/explicit.gif b/26413-h/images/explicit.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3712c7f --- /dev/null +++ b/26413-h/images/explicit.gif diff --git a/26413-h/images/orm_g.png b/26413-h/images/orm_g.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4252ac7 --- /dev/null +++ b/26413-h/images/orm_g.png diff --git a/26413-h/images/orm_g_thumb.png b/26413-h/images/orm_g_thumb.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ddb5333 --- /dev/null +++ b/26413-h/images/orm_g_thumb.png diff --git a/26413-h/images/semicolon.gif b/26413-h/images/semicolon.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2f35df6 --- /dev/null +++ b/26413-h/images/semicolon.gif |
