About the Book

Between the end of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth centuries, scribes at the Cistercian abbey of Buildwas in the West Midlands copied four glossaries at the end of a manuscript containing the De institutis coenobiorum and Conlationes by John Cassian. These glossaries, preserved in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodley 730, offer precious evidence of the continuity of the Old English glossarial tradition well into the Middle English period. At the same time, in their Latin (and sometimes Greek) entries followed by Latin, Anglo-Norman, and English glosses, they bear witness to the multilingual environment of their time and place.

This volume presents the first full edition and comprehensive study of the Bodley Glossaries that adequately sets them in the history of medieval English lexicography. An introduction that analyzes the structure of the glossaries, their sources and analogues, their language, and their context, prefaces the edition. A complete textual apparatus and explanatory notes offering fresh interpretations, parallels to, and commentary on each entry succeed each glossary. Detailed indexes conclude the book.


About the Author: Claudio Cataldi earned his doctorate in English at the University of Bristol in 2018 with a dissertation on the theme of the "soul and body" in medieval English literature. His main research interests are in the field of Old and Early Middle English religious poetry, Old and Middle English glosses and glossaries, and Old Frisian literature. Educare alla salvezza, his edition, with commentary, of the Old English poems in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 201, was published in 2021. Essays by him have appeared in diverse journals, including Anglia, Filologia Germanica - Germanic Philology, The Journal of English and Germanic Philology, and Notes & Queries.
