This monograph presents Old English renderings of Christian words
found in interlinear glosses, especially the Gospels and the
Psalter glosses. Nouns, adjectives, adverbs and verbs in biblical
contexts are included through dialectal (Northumbrian, Mercian, and
West Saxon) diachronic (early and late West Saxon) and idiolectal
(i.e. scribal) comparison. By using interlinear glosses, the
correspondence between the original Latin word and the Old English
rendering can be recognised more clearly than in ordinary prose,
and at the same time, a flexible choice of renderings can be seen
in some contexts. The author tries to show which Old English words
were chosen as renderings, while some Latin words were accepted
without translation.
