Philologists have been attracted by the language and literature of
the Anglo-Saxons; among them are counted earlier scholars, such as
Archbishop Parker, William Lambarde, Lawrence Nowell, Francis
Junius. They have handed down the torch of Anglo-Saxon studies to
the modern scholars. Prior to discussion of the language and
literature of the Anglo-Saxons, this book gives a very brief survey
of Anglo-Latin authors; Aldhelm, Bede and Alcuin produced marvelous
works written in Latin. A great number of manuscripts were copied
from the works of those authors, and glosses were often added to
them, sometimes interlinearly. The typical example of Old English
interlinear glosses are found in the Lindisfarne Gospels and the
Rushworth Gospels. Anglo-Saxon poets devoted themselves to Old
English paraphrase of Scriptural narratives. King Alfred, lfric and
Wulfstan made sometimes literal and sometimes free translation in
order to enhance morality and intellectuality of the people. This
book also includes two chapters on studies of proper nouns.
