PREFACE 



THIS edition of King Alfred s most personal and 
therefore most important work, may be regarded as 
a compromise, aiming as it does at meeting the wants 
of the scientific investigator of Old English on the 
one hand, and of the student of our literature on the 
other. The former has long been calling for a text 
which should faithfully reproduce the Cotton MS., 
and in offering him such a text I ask him to bear in 
mind the difficulty of the task. Even when MSS. 
are in perfect condition it is almost impossible to 
avoid errors in copying, as will be readily granted by 
those who have had experience of this kind of work ; 
but when, as in the case of the chief MS. of the Old 
English Boetkius, fire and water have played havoc 
with almost every page, the labour of deciphering and 
the liability to error are immensely increased. Indi 
vidual pages of this MS. have received as much as an 
hour s scrutiny, and this scrutiny was repeated three 
or even four times in a few instances. By taking 
advantage of the rare intervals of London sunshine 
during the winter and spring months, I found much 
decipherable which in ordinary light would have re 
mained hidden. 



PREFACE 

A fresh examination of this MS. by better eyes than 
mine may show that a few more letters and words can 
be made out, but I have made it a rule throughout 
only to print as clear what I could see really distinctly. 

It may be remarked here that as Professor Bright 
in his Anglo-Saxon Reader gives some passages from 
King Alfred s Boethius based on a fresh collation 
with the Cotton MS., I have made a special re-colla 
tion of his text with that MS. 

A complete edition of the Old English Boethius 
would include not only the text of both the English 
MSS., but also the Latin text, and perhaps a full 
collection of marginal scholia and passages from Latin 
Commentaries, to illustrate in detail King Alfred s 
obligations to the work of others. In default of such 
completeness it is hoped that the analysis by chapters 
and sections given in the Introduction will be useful 
in showing how far the King departs from his original. 
The copious extracts from the article by the late 
Dr. Schepss, whose untimely death removed one of the 
chief authorities on the textual criticism of Boethius, 
require but slight apology, as they throw what must 
to many be a new light on King Alfred considered as 
a maker of books. The facts known about this work 
are not many, and such as they are will be found col 
lected in the Introduction, varied with a discussion of 
theories in the case of the Cotton Metra. These Metra, 
though included in the complete glossary forming 
part of Grein s Bibliothek der angelsachsischen Poesie, 
are also indexed in the Glossary of the present work, 
for the sake of completeness, especially as a number 
of new readings of the Cotton MS. are now given for 
the first time. 



PREFACE ix 

The Glossary, too, I have tried to make useful to 
the student of Old English who requires help in his 
reading, as well as to the phonologist, for whom it is 
primarily meant. 

The interesting question of the dialect of the Boethius 
has not received more than a short notice, as it requires 
for its proper elucidation more room and time than 
I have been able to give. 

My best thanks are due to Professor York Powell 
for kind assistance in collating parts of the Bodleian 
MS., and much sound advice ; to Professor A. S. Napier 
for supplying me with some valuable notes on several 
points; to Professor Eduard Sievers for a communi 
cation on the subject of dialect ; to Ernst Kramer of 
Bonn for the loan of his collation of the Cotton Metro, ; 
to Fran Professor Schepss of Speyer for kindly sending 
me some notes by her late husband ; to Sir Edward 
Maunde Thompson, and to Dr. Henry Sweet. Valu 
able help was given in verifying the references in the 
Glossary by tw r o ladies whose names I am asked not 
to mention. Finally, I heartily thank the Rev. Dr. 
W. W. Skeat, whose kindly criticism and encourage 
ment have been invaluable to a junior worker in his 
own field, who esteems himself fortunate to belong to 
the University and College so long adorned by the 
Ellington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon.

INTRODUCTION 



i. MSS. 

THE Old English version of Boethius treatise De 
Consolatione Phiiosophiae is preserved, as far as is 
known, in three MSS., one of which is but a small 
fragment, and in one paper transcript. 

1. The Cotton MS. (C) Otho A. vi (Wanley, p. 
217) in the British Museum, bound up with a Latin 
life of Edward the Confessor, per Ailredum, Abb. 
Rievallisl contains a prose version of the Latin prose, 
and an alliterating version of the Latin carmina. 
It was injured in the fire which proved so disastrous 
to the Cotton library in 1731, but the loose leaves 
were rather more than a century later collected and 
carefully mounted in an album. Wanley thus describes 
this MS. as it was before the fire : * Codex membr. 
in octavo grandiori, ex duobus simul compactis, 
confectum (sic), in qtto continetur I fol. i Boethius de 
Consolatione Phiiosophiae^ Saxonice per ^Elfredum 



xn INTRODUCTION 

Regent versus, quo vivente^ aut salteni panllo post 
obitnm eius^ hunc codicem scrip turn credo! 

At the present time about three-quarters of the 
whole remain, mostly legible, though some leaves can 
only be properly read in a good light, and for a few 
even direct sunlight is necessary. The leaves vary in 
size from charred fragments a square inch or so in area 
to almost perfect specimens ; but not one has quite 
escaped the action of fire or water. It seems that the 
latter element is responsible for most of the oblitera 
tion, for parts merely charred are generally easy to 
read by a strong transmitted light. There are now 
1 29 leaves in C, the size of the most perfect being, on 
the average, about yi by 4^ inches. The first three 
leaves are missing, as well as one between fols. 79^ 
and 80 #, and two between fols. 127 b and 128 a. The 
usual number of lines to the page is 26 or 27, but 
occasionally 28 ; and about 7 words go to the line. 
The MS. is in one distinct and neat handwriting, 
generally written with a fine pen. The writing varies 
considerably in size, perhaps in part owing to the 
unequal shrinking of the vellum under the influence 
of intense heat, as it is frequently small at the top of 
a page, and grows larger towards the bottom. There 
is no formal division into chapters, but each of the 
Metra begins a fresh line, with a large space left for 
the initial capital, which has, however, not been 
written. Illumination is entirely absent. Paragraphs 
are generally marked by the use of small or medium 
capitals, but these, like the marks of punctuation, are 
not always logically used. Words are not run together, 
but letters are frequently combined, especially certain 
groups with the letter e, which has two forms, the short 



MANUSCRIPTS xiii 

and the tall. A few prefixes, especially ge- and be-, 
are often separated from the main word ; and some 
common proclitics, such as ne^ are merged in the 
following word, thus : nemceg. 

Contractions are on the whole infrequent, especially 
at the beginning of the book, though they increase in 
number towards the end. The principal ones are 
cw$=cwa$ (once or twice cwfi], ceftcefter, and now 
and then fonn=fonne. The letter m is not seldom 
replaced by a stroke over the preceding vowel, espe 
cially in dative forms. Punctuation, represented only 
by the dot or full stop, is fairly frequent in the prose, 
marking paragraphs rather than sentences ; but is 
rarer in the verse, which is externally in no way 
distinguished from prose. Of individual letters it 
may be noticed that y has a short tail curved to the 
left, and there is no dot above it ; s is either f or f, 
the form S only occurring as a capital. As a final. 
d is used with few exceptions ; medially and initially 
I probably predominates, except in pronominal forms. 
Accents are rare, and occur chiefly on the adverb a, 
the verbal prefix a-, and on god, good, which however 
is generally written good. 

Sir Edward Maunde Thompson believes C to have 
been written shortly after the middle of the tenth 
century, about 960-970 A.D. Dr. Henry Sweet, in 
his Anglo-Saxon Reader, ascribes it to the beginning 
of the tenth century, agreeing with Wanley, who saw it 
before it was injured, and referred it, as we have seen, 
to King Alfred s lifetime, or the period immediately 
following his death. 

2. The Bodleian MS. (B) ; (Wanley, p. 64), formerly 
lettered on the back NE. .3. n, now numbered 180 



xiv INTRODUCTION 

(2079), contains 94 leaves of vellum. The 1 2 fragments 
of another work formerly bound up with this MS. 
were in 1884 taken out of the binding, and are now 
numbered Bodl. Add. D. 98. The vellum pages, 
which have been much pared in parts, measure about 
nj by 7f inches, and the written page fills a rectangle 
of about 9 by 6 \ inches. With few exceptions there 
are 24 lines of writing to the page, though as many as 
27 lines have been frequently ruled,, and about 11 or 
1 2 is the average number of words to the line. The 
gatherings are of five or six plies each, and are generally 
numbered for the binder, the numerals i, ii, iiii, v, vii 
being marked on fols. io#, 110, 31 a, 41*2, 6ia respec 
tively. B is written and corrected in a bold English 
hand hardly earlier than the beginning of the twelfth 
century. The text has initials in red, blue, purple and 
green, at the beginning of chapters, and occasionally 
of sections, but these colours have not lasted as well 
as the ordinary ink, which is of a very legible dark 
brown. The writing grows rougher, and the vellum 
worse towards the end of the book. The text-writer 
has occasionally left small initials in the margin as 
guides to the rubricator. 

The text is divided into forty-two chapters by 
Roman numerals written after the last word of the 
preceding chapter on the same line, while sections 
and paragraphs are marked by initial capitals of 
medium size. Punctuation, represented by the dot, 
is frequent, but not always logical. The mark of 
interrogation occurs once or twice, closely resembling 
the modern form (?). Accents are rare, except on 
one or two pages, where they have been sprinkled in 
profusion in an undecided manner, perhaps by a later 



MANUSCRIPTS xv 

hand. The chief contractions are a stroke over vowels 
denoting an omitted m, and the form Jjon for fionne, 
both being very common. A curly mark above the 
line represents -ris in the words Papinianus and Apol- 
linus (p. 66, 1. 30 and p. 116, 1. 1). Wester (p. 80, 1. 18) 
is written wcet with a mark over the / denoting -er. 
The proper names Cancaseas (p. 43, 1. 9), Boetius 
(p. 58, 1. 29), and Orfens (p. 101, 1. 25), are written 
with initial capitals. 

The original spelling is fairly well preserved in B 
for so late a MS., but a number of errors have crept in, 
letters and words being often omitted. In its text 
B agrees on the whole pretty closely with C, of which 
however it seems independent, and has moreover a table 
of contents at the beginning. A prayer is added at 
the end, written in a hand resembling that of the main 
text, of which it may have been an imitation 1 . A 
close examination decides against the identity of the 
two hands, which however may belong to the same 
school of handwriting. This prayer seems hastily 
written with a hard pen. One example of the con 
tinental g occurs. 

It may be here noticed that the fragments (Bodl. 
MSS. Add. D. 98), formerly in the binding of 
MS. 1 80, are part of a folio double-column digest, 
apparently written in England in the beginning of the 
fourteenth century, with glosses. The writing on one 
of them in a sixteenth-century hand runs * Boetius de 
consolatide philosophiae translated into the Saxonic tug 
by King A elf red 

3. A fragment (N) of a third MS. was discovered 

This prayer is entered by Wanley in his Catalogue as a separate 
work distinct from B, under the heading Oratio ad Deum. 



xvi INTRODUCTION 

in 1886 by Professor A. S. Napier, of Oxford, whose 
transcript is printed with some words of introduction 
(in German) in the Zeitschrift fiir deutsches Alter thum, 
vol. xxxi. pp. 52-54 (vol. xix. part I, new series, 
1887). Professor Napier says The following frag 
ment of the Alfredian translation of Boethius in 
a hand of the first half of the tenth century forms 
the last leaf of MS. Bodl. 86. This leaf, which 
evidently has been used previously in the binding, 
was placed in its present position by the binder, and 
originally belonged to a small folio Boethius MS. 
The fragment formed the lower half of a leaf, and 
judging by the part missing between the two sides 
each page must have contained about thirty-eight 
lines. The writing is in parts very indistinct, as the 
letters are frequently blurred ; the parchment is also 
perforated here and there, so that some letters are 
quite gone. 

Some years ago N was taken out and bound 
separately, but it has since been temporarily mislaid, 
so that the present editor has not been able to see it. 
The words in Professor Napier s transcript, which 
accurately represents the MS., are much run together, 
and no capitals are used. Contractions and accents 
are relatively frequent. The vowels a and o, following 
h, m, and ;z, are in some cases formed by a looped 
prolongation of the last stroke of these consonants 
below the line, a characteristic of the age of the 
fragment. 

The relations of the MSS. are conjecturally repre 
sented in the following diagram, where A represents 
the archetype of B, C, and perhaps of N, and A 1 
stands for the archetype of the Cotton Metra.

4. In the Bodleian library there is also a transcript 
(Jun. 12) of B, made by Franciscus Junius, with his 
selection of the more notable C variants in the margin ; 
also a good copy which he made of the Cott. Metra. 
As Junius made these excerpts and copy of C before 
the latter MS. was injured by fire, his readings are 
often our only authority for it. The whole of the 
transcript with the printed Latin text pasted in, and 
occasional notes by Junius, are bound up in one large 
folio volume. Wanley (Catalogue, p. 80) states that 
among the MSS. presented to the chapter of Exeter 
Cathedral by Bishop Leofric in the eleventh century 
was an Old English version of the De Consolatione, 
known as Boeties boc on englisc. Of its subsequent 
history we know nothing, unless perchance it was one 
of the MSS. just described. It is probable that such 
a popular work as the De Consolatione would have 
been frequently copied in its English dress during the 
tenth and eleventh centuries, so that it is somewhat 
surprising that only two perfect MSS. have reached 
modern times. 

ii. Present Edition. 

The present edition contains the three parts of the 
extant Old English version of the De Consolatione, 
viz. : 






xvui INTRODUCTION 

1. The prose version of the Latin prose original, 
common to B and C. 

2. The prose version of the Latin carmina, only 
found in B. 

3. The alliterating metrical version of the Latin 
carmina, only found in C. 

As regards (i), the text adopted is that of C. 
Where C is uninjured and legible, the chief variants of 
B are given in footnotes, but variations constantly 
recurring, such as B s mihte for C s meahte, B s dam 
for C s dam^ &c., are not reproduced. Where C is 
injured or at all illegible, the text of B is printed, and 
the C readings preserved by Junius are given in foot 
notes marked J. If part of a word is visible in C the 
word is completed from B, or from J where available; 
for this the footnotes should be consulted. All 
words in the text not in C,, or illegible in C, are in 
italics ; all parts now missing from C are in square 
brackets, while words and letters not in C from the 
first are in round brackets. Words and letters in 
italics, but not in brackets, do occur in C but are not 
legible. In short, it may be assumed that all words 
in italics are from B, unless otherwise stated in the 
footnotes. 

As regards (2) the text of B is printed, and these 
prose Metra are printed (in italics) just where they 
occur in B. 

For (3), the Metra are printed together after the 
prose, though they occupy in C the places filled by 
(2) in B. The text is that of C, supplemented (in 
italics) where deficient from the transcript of the 
C Metra made by Junius, and also referred to as J in 
the footnotes. The numbering of these Metra was 



PRESENT EDITION xix 

first made by Fox, and is here retained. Grein s 
arrangement of the lines is generally followed. 

C is in parts much injured with holes in the parch 
ment, which is also creased to such an extent that it 
is often impossible to indicate in a printed text exactly 
what is missing and what illegible. In such cases the 
passage is enclosed in square brackets, and a note is 
added to the effect that part is gone, part illegible in C. 

Contractions are not expanded, but given as they 
occur, except in two or three instances noted above in 
the description of B. The wavy mark (~) over the 
/ in ceft (= after) and one or two other words is 
intended to stand for exactly the same sign as the 
straight mark printed in other cases, such as don., da, 
&c., which in the MSS. is generally straight but 
occasionally somewhat wavy. The letters of the 
MSS. are not specially reproduced as to form, except 
that d and J) are given as they occur in B, C, and 
J. The abbreviation J ( = and) is after a full stop 
printed as a capital, but does not occur as such in the 
MSS. When a bracket bisects the digraph (B the 
latter is written ae. 

Accents are marked where they occur in the MSS. 

The particles corresponding to the German separable 
particles, and used in Old English either as adverbs or 
prepositions, such as fram, of, on, &c., are generally 
treated as prepositions when following their cases, if 
there is a regimen ; and as adverbs, where there is no 
regimen. In either case they are printed separately. 
Occasionally, however, they form true compounds with 
verbs, and are then printed as such both in the text 
and the glossary. 

Emendations and conjectures, which occur chiefly 

b 2 



xx INTRODUCTION 

in the text of B, are mostly self-evident corrections of 
errors made by the scribe in copying. Many of these 
had already been made by Junius, and reproduced by 
later editors. In this edition only the more important 
emendations and conjectures suggested by Junius, and 
Grein (in the verse), and one by Professor Napier, are 
specially acknowledged. In addition to these, however, 
a considerable number have been made by the present 
editor, where they seemed necessary to an intelligible 
text. All emendations and conjectures are marked as 
such in the footnotes. The division of the prose text 
into sections was first made by Junius, who also supplied 
the references to the Latin original. A few corrections 
and alterations have been made in the former, and the 
latter have been carefully verified from Peiper s text 
(Leipzig 1871, Teubner). Where the beginning of 
a section does not coincide with a Latin section, the 
corresponding page and line in Peiper are given in 
a footnote. For the punctuation of the text the editor 
is responsible. That of the prose part is modernized 
for the first time, for convenience in reading. In the 
Metra, Grein s punctuation is followed on the whole, 
but with numerous exceptions. In Old English 
writings it is not always easy to clearly mark by 
punctuation the correlation of words and sentences, 
and the MSS. are frequently unsatisfactory and even 
misleading in this respect. 

The fragment N is printed from Professor Napier s 
text as an appendix on pp. 205-206, but with modern 
punctuation and words separated ; contractions are left 
unexpanded except in the case of the looped h> m, 
and , where the vowels are printed in italics (v. supra). 

The Glossary is intended to give every word occur- 






BIBLIOGRAPHY xxi 

ring in the text, and every instance, except of constantly 
recurring words. In these cases the first instance of 
the word s occurrence is given from the prose, and 
generally from the verse, and an &*c. added. As the 
Glossary aims at being phonological rather than syn 
tactical or lexicographical, a full record of forms is 
given, rather than of shades of meaning, though these 
latter have not been neglected. The prepositions 
indeed have been treated with some fullness, in view 
of their high syntactical importance and the interesting 
light they throw on the ways of thought of the early 
users of our language. It should be remembered that 
as the B text is here not printed in full, the Glossary 
is incomplete as a register of B forms. 

iii. Bibliography. 

i. Previous Editions, (a) By Christopher Rawlin- 
son, Oxford, 1698, containing the whole text of B, 
the C variants, and the Cotton Metra ; printed, with 
no additions (except a Latin preface and a number of 
quotations from early writers concerning King Alfred s 
authorship of the Old English Boethius), directly from 
the transcript by Junius above described. There is 
a full-page engraved portrait of Junius facing the 
title-page, after the picture by Van Dyck. The 
imprimatur of John Meare, Vice-Chancellor of the 
University of Oxford, is dated April 2, 1698. There 
are further a small copper engraving representing 
Boethius in his dungeon, with a female figure at his 
side, crowned with a halo and pointing upwards, and 
also a portrait of King Alfred, with the legend Al- 
uredus R. ex Lapide in Coll. Aenei Nasi. 

(b) By J. S. Cardale, London, 1829. The B text is 



xxii INTRODUCTION 

given, embodying emendations and conjectures, with 
English translation and explanatory notes, and a speci 
men of the Cotton Metra. 

(c) King Alfred s Anglo-Saxon version of the Metra 
of Boethius, with an English prose translation and 
explanatory notes, by the Rev. Samuel Fox, M.A., 
of Pembroke College, Oxford. William Pickering, 
London, 1835. 

(d) Complete edition by the Rev. Samuel Fox, 
Bohn, London, 1864. The text of the prose is that 
of B, apparently copied from Rawlinson s edition 
without collation with B itself. Up to Chapter xxix, 
only the readings from C excerpted by Junius and 
printed in Rawlinson s edition are given in footnotes ; 
afterwards these latter are supplemented by some 
more variants taken directly from C. A literal English 
translation faces each page of the original. The Metra 
of C are collected at the end of the book,, apparently 
copied from the Junius transcript, or from Rawlinson, 
without fresh collation with C. An English rhymed 
translation of the Metra, by Martin F. Tupper, is 
printed side by side with the text ; there are some 
explanatory notes and a word-list at the end. 

(e) The Cotton Metra are printed with critical notes 
and emendations in C. W. M. Grein s Bibliothek der 
angelsachsischen Poesie. 

Hickes in his Thesaurits had printed some extracts 
from these Metra, using Rawlinson s edition. 

Extracts from the prose and verse parts of the Old 
English Boethius are given in various Readers and 
Analecta, a list of which will be found in Wiilker s 
Grundriss zur Geschichte der angelsachsischen Lite- 
ratur. Professor Bright in his Anglo-Saxon Reader 



BIBLIOGRAPHY xxni 

has printed portions of the prose, embodying a fresh 
collation of C ; in the other Readers the text of the 
editions is followed. 

A facsimile of a page of Cott. MS. Otho A 6 is 
given in the Jubilee edition of the Works of King 
Alfred the Great, p. 515. 

2. Translations. In addition to the translations 
given in the editions of Cardale and Fox, the latter s 
version of the Old English prose and Tupper s 
rhyming paraphrase of the verse are printed in the 
Jubilee edition of the Whole Works of King Alfred 
the Great. Tupper also published his version sepa 
rately in 1850. A good deal of Alfred s Boethius is 
translated in Sharon Turner s History of the Anglo- 
Saxons (vol. ii. ch. ii, seventh edition, 1853), accom 
panying a full analysis of the work and a commentary, 



with a literal translation of the corresponding passages 
in the original Latin added in the footnotes. 

In his Proeve eener geschiedenis der dichtkunst en 
fraaje letter en onder de Angel- Saksen (Amsterdam, 1 842) 
J. P. Arend has some notes on Alfred s Boethius, 
followed by a Dutch translation of some passages 
(pp. 130-180). A part of the fable of Orpheus and 
Eurydice is translated into French in H. Taine s 
Histoire de la litterature anglaise (vol. i. pp. 59~^3, 
eighth edition, 1892); and Grein gives an alliterating 
German version in his Dichtungen der Angelsachsen. 

3. Literature. The question of the authorship of 
the Cotton Metra has been fully discussed by A. Leicht 
in Anglia, vi. 126-170; by M. Hartmann in Anglia, 
v. 411-450; and by O. Zimmermann in a dissertation 
published at Greifswald in 1882. Wulker in his 
Grundriss gives a precis of the researches and argu- 



xxiv INTRODUCTION 

ments of these writers, and his own summing up. 
Leicht also wrote an article in Anglia, vii. 178-202, 
supplementing his first one, and containing notes on 
the MSS. (as represented in Fox s edition) and their 
phonology, and a comparison of the Old English 
version with the original Latin. In Boethius, an 
Essay, by H. F. Stewart (pp. 170-178), there is an 
interesting appreciation of Alfred s translation. 

In a very suggestive article in the Archiv filr das 
Studium der neueren Sprachen 94 (2 and 3), pp. 149- 
160, the late Dr. Georg Schepss showed that many 
illustrations and amplifications found in the Old 
English version of the De Consolatione and hitherto 
credited to King Alfred, especially those of a marked 
Christian tendency, are undoubtedly derived from Old 
Latin commentaries, belonging to two types, now 
represented by (i) a complete separate commentary 
bound up with the Boethius MS. written by Froumund 
in the tenth century and now belonging to the 
Ottingen-Wallerstein library at Maihingen ; and (2) 
the marginal Scholia of the Munich MS. no. 19452, 
written in the tenth or the eleventh century. 

J. W. Tupper, in a dissertation published in Balti 
more, U.S.A., in 1897, investigates the tropes and 
figures in the prose of the Boethius. 

In Modern Language Notes for 1894 (no. 6), pp. 
321-342, there is an article on the close connexion 
between the Alfredian Boethius and the Alfredian 
Soliloquies or Blooms. 

Max Rieger gives an analysis of the metre of the 
Cott. verses in his Die alt- und angelsdchsische Vers- 
kunst (Halle, 1876), first published as an article in 
Zacher s Zeitschrift fiir deutsche Philologie. 



RELATION TO LATIN ORIGINAL xxv 

A Latin MS. of the De Consolatione with Old 
English glosses (Corp. 214, Camb.) is described by 
Professor W. W. Skeat in the American Journal of 
Philology, v. (4) p. 488 ; but, as Dr. Skeat remarks, 
these glosses are in no way connected with Alfred s 
Boethius. 

In Richard Wiilker s Grundriss zur Geschichte der 
angdsdchsischen Liter atur will be found further in 
formation about the literature of the Boethius. 

iv. Relation to Latin Original. 

The following analysis by chapters and sections 
will serve to show the degree of correspondence 
between the Old English version and its Latin 
original, as represented in R. Peiper s text. It may 
be premised that the words close or literal have 
a looser sense than usual, as here applied to our 
version. Even in his most faithful translation, that 
of the Ctira Pastor alis, King Alfred is by no means 
what would in these days be called literal ; while in 
his Boethius it is the exception to find a passage of 
even a few lines rendered word for word.

It may here be convenient to supply some notable 
instances of the use, in the Old English version, of 
early Latin commentaries. They are taken from the 
article by Dr. Schepss, mentioned above. 

The mention of the heavenly Jerusalem (p. u, 
1. 17), which is not in the Latin text, is taken from 
the commentary, which runs : (hoc) tarn ad Romae 
civitatem quam ad ecclesiam seu ad caelestem Hieru- 
salem referripotest (Lib. i. prosa 5, Peiper, p. 19, 1. 14). 

The allusion to the holy martyrs (p. 26, 1. 21) 
comes from the Froumund MS. commentaries (F), 
which have hie sanctos mar tires vult intellegi, qui, ut 
beatiludinem perennem acciperent, diversa potius tor- 
menta quam simplicem mortem desiderabant (Lib. ii. 
prosa 4, P. 35. 91). 

The words perennis sedes and humili saxo (Lib. ii. 
metr. 4, 1. i and 1. 15) are in the Munich commentary 
MS. (M), explained in a Christian sense, and in deo 
is written over saxo. F has saxo id est in Chris to. 
The Old English has Crist (p. 27, 1. 7). 

In the account of Nero s crimes (Lib. ii. metr. 6, 



xxxn INTRODUCTION 

P. 43, v. i ff.) F and M explain urbe flammata 
with the remark that Nero set Rome on fire, volens 
mdere quantum fuerit incendium Troiae. The Old 
English has cefter dcere bisene de gio Trogia burg barn. 
Hine lyste eac geseon hti seo burne, hu lange, 7 hu 
leohte be dczre oderre (p. 39, 1. 20). 

The passage on the elements and seasons (/. 49, /. 5 
et seq.) does not occur in Boethius, but F and M give 
explanatory notes to which the Old English version 
closely corresponds. 

In Lib. iii. met. 9 (Peiper 70, v. I et seq.) the word 
numeris is annotated at some length, and here too the 
Old English version closely follows the commentary 
(/. 80, /. 5 et seq.). In the commentary to the same 
poem (v. 13 et seq.), we find a note explaining that by 
the words triplicis mediam naturae animam we are to 
understand anima rationabilis> together with anima 
irascibilis and anima concupiscibilis. The Old English 
runs (/. 8 1, /. 17-19) An dor a gecynda is f heo bid 
wilnigende. oder f hio bid irsiende, flridde f hio bid 
gesceadwis. 

At the end of this poem the commentaries add the 
words per quem (per)veniamus ad te ; the Old English 
has de ealle men to fundiad. 

To the words of Boethius (Lib. iii. prosa 12, P. 83. 
52) nihil est quod naturam seruans deo contraire 
conetur, Alfred adds buton dysig mon^ odfie eft da 
widerweardan englas (p. 98, 1. 12, 13). This seems 
to be taken from the commentary, which, in speaking 
of the devil, mentions that he was good in sui natura 
but that he voluntate deo re sis tit. 

In Lib. iii. prosa 12 (P. 84. 65) occur the words 
lacessentes caelum gigantas. In M. we find loquitur 



RELATION TO LATIN ORIGINAL xxxm 

secundum fidem gentilium vel veritatem tangit, qnando 
divisio linguarttm facta est. This biblical allusion is 
not lost on King Alfred (p. 99, 1. 6). 

In Lib. iv. prosa i (P. 89. 33) M. annotates domum 
thus: ad apicem pristinae intelligentiae mentisque 
secretum sen ad paradysum, ubi damns est naturahs. 
The Old English version has (p. 104, 1. 27) to Zare 
heofonlican byrig de du <zr of come. 

The gelidi senis of Boethius in Lib. iv. metr. i 
(P. 90. n) is explained as Saturnus in the commen 
taries. 

In Lib. iv. metr. 5 (P. v. 1-3 ff.) Arcturi . . . Bootes, 
the commentaries explain Bootes Stella est in temone 
p laus tri qnae graece arctofilax vocatur, id est, custos 
plaustri . . . sidera quanta viciniora stint cardmi, tanto 
tardiores habent occasus et celer lores or fas, quoniam diu 
videntur, parmnn autem occultantur. Unde Bootes 
quia primus (proximus?) est cardini, parvo tempore 
occultatur, ergo semper tardius ad occasum quam ad 
or turn venit . . . Rursus, qtianto longius fuerint sidera 
a car dine, celerius occldunt et tardius oriuntur. Com 
pare with this the Old English (p. 126, 1. i ff.). 

The elaborate simile of the wheel contained in 
Chapter xxxix. 7 of the Old English version (p. 139, 
1. 19) seems also to owe something to the words of the 
commentary. 

Finally, the simile of the egg (Metr. xx. 169), which 
has generally been ascribed to King Alfred, is to be 
found indicated in the marginal scholia of the Frou- 
mund Codex in the words Caelum et terrain mareque 
In modum ovi figurari. 

Dr. Schepss further shows that Alfred might have 
avoided certain errors if he had been able to make 



xx xiv INTRODUCTION 

consistent use of the commentaries above described. 
Thus Alfred speaks of sumum romaniscum cedelinge^ 
se wees haten Liberius (p. 36, /. 17), where the Latin 
text has liber quidam ; but the commentaries refer the 
allusion to Anaxagoras, Zeno, or Anaxarchus. 

Alfred s error se wisa Catuhis for Catullus (p. 61, 
1. 17) may have been due to a faulty reading in his 
MS., or perhaps to the mention of Catulus in Orosius, 
but the commentary M has a note nobilis et veronensis 
poeta. The identification of Brutus with Cassius 
(p. 46, /. 22) seems to show carelessness or ignorance 
on Alfred s part, but at the same time he avoids some 
blunders which we find in the commentaries. For 
example, he does not regard Alcibiades as nomen 
mulieris famosae pidchritudiniS) as is gravely set forth 
in the commentary F. The curious mistake which 
makes Ulysses a prince of Rhaetia (p. 115, 1. 16 and 
Metr. xxvi. 8) is due to the reading velani retii for 
vela neritii. 

Alfred seems to have left unused a mass of material 
contained in the commentaries regarding matters 
metrical, grammatical, and etymological, but eagerly 
availed himself of any hints and information he could 
get on Biblical, mythological, and historical questions, 
and all that related to what we now call natural science. 

Dr. Schepss has undoubtedly made out a strong 
case, and has indicated a new field of inquiry which 
may lead to still further interesting discoveries of the 
same nature, as he has only dealt with the more 
notable of the explanations and expansions of the 
Latin text which have been generally ascribed to 
King Alfred. In this connexion William of Malmes- 
bury s statement that Asser sensuiti librarian Boetii 



DIALECT OF TEXT xxxv 

de consolatione planioribus verbis enodavit is of interest, 
as it almost looks as if Asser were the author of the 
above-mentioned commentaries F and M ; but, as 
Dr. Schepss points out, it is safer to believe that in 
the written and oral explanations which he gave the 
king, Asser made use of commentaries already in 
existence. 

v. Dialect of text. 

The following short note kindly communicated to 
the Editor by Professor Eduard Sievers will be of 
interest. The dialect question (of the O. E. Boethius) 
is rather puzzling. The Bodl. MS. contains a good 
many Kenticisms, and so does Cott. The latter is 
evidently copied from an Early W. Saxon source, 
but the scribe has introduced Kentish forms here and 
there, especially his Kentish e for E. W. S. ie, and, 
what is perhaps of greater weight, Kentish io for 
E. -W. S. (or O. E.) eo, as in swwr, diof ; also weoruld 
for W. S. woruld (on the latter see Beitr. xxii. 255). 
It is only the Go which represents W. Germ, eit or e 
that is replaced by Kent, io, not the eo which stands 
for W. Germ, iu or i, and written io in E. W. S. too, 
as far as it exists. Then the Metra are so full of 
Kentish forms that I cannot but believe that they 
were done in Kent, and probably the versifier worked 
from a Kentish copy of the prose text. I have a short 
note on this question in Beitr. x. 197, but without 
amounting to proof I consider the following observa 
tion rather convincing. The prose text (p. 136, /. 23) 
reads thus : panon he welt dam gewealdlederum ealle 
gesceaftu. The versifier makes dam gewealdlederum

I believe he did it this way :

Then he, or some scribe, copied out what he found 
before him, but his eye was caught by the welt, and 
so he wrote what we find in the Metra : he donan 
iv aided ^ $am geweltletirum. So the Kentish welt evi 
dently was in the (original) prose text from which the 
man worked. There are numerous other Kenticisms in 
the text of both B and C, and this question of dialect 
is one that calls for detailed investigation, as it may 
throw light on the source of these two MSS. An 
examination of the Cott. Metra from this point of view 
would probably lead to results regarding their author 
ship of greater value than those hitherto obtained by 
other methods (v. infra). The fragment N, which is 
older than the other two MSS., is West Saxon, with 
no important admixture of Kentish or other dialect. 

vi. Authorship and date of the Work. 

That King Alfred translated into English the De 
Consolatione of Boethius is testified by several early 
writers of varying authority. ./Ethel weard in his 
Chronicle (Lib. iv. cap. 3 ad 901 A. D.) has this 
passage : Divinis quippe super omnia documentis im- 
btitus, nam ex Latino rhetorico fasmate in propriam 
verterat linguam volumina, numero ignoto, ita varie, 
it a praeopime, ^lt non tantum expertioribns sed et 
audientibus liber (librum ?) Boetii lachrymosus quodam- 
modo suscitaretur motus. 

William of Malmesbury says (De Gestis Regum

translation of thework. In his GestaPontificum Angliae, 
ii. 248 (page 177 of Hamilton s edition), occurs this pas 
sage, Asser us. . .non nsqiieqnaqne contempnendae scien-

Robert Plot in his Historia Natnralis Comitatns 
Oxon. (cap. x, 118) remarks that there seems to 
have formerly existed at Woodstock (Wudestoc) 
a Royal residence, dating from King Alfred s time, 
as it appears from a Cotton MS. (sub Othone A) 
that that King translated at Woodstock the De Conso 
latione of Boethius into Saxon. Plot probably refers 
to MS. Cott. Otho Ax, now destroyed except for 
a few charred fragments. Wanley in his Catalogue 
makes no mention of this statement alleged to be 
contained in the MS. 

In the Liber monasterii de Hyda (edited by Edwards 
1866) it is stated that Alfred caused the De Conso 
latione of Boethius as well as Gregory s Dialogues 
to be translated into the Saxon tongue by Bishop 
Wirefrith (i. e. Werfrith of Worcester). Several other 
early writers from whose works extracts are printed 
in the preface to Rawlinson s edition^ such as Bromton, 
Polydorus Vergilius, Leland, and Bale, refer to 
Alfred s translation of the De Consolatione in nearly 
the same words as those just quoted. 

Most modern critics have seen no reason to doubt 

c 3 



xxxvm INTRODUCTION 

the tradition of antiquity and the express statement in 
the prefaces to the Old English version of Boethius, 
that King Alfred was its author. At least there has 
been no doubt as to his authorship of the prose 
rendering of the prose and verse of the original. 
The whole of this version bears the strong personal 
impress of its author, and in the views of life expressed, 
especially of a king s life, with its manifold cares and 
duties, we can hardly fail to recognize the great king s 
voice. Often groping darkly after the sense of his 
original and failing to find it, he is always earnestly 
trying his utmost to utter in his simple speech the 
high thoughts that surge within him. 

But with regard to the authorship of the Cotton 
Metra there is not this unanimity. This question has 
been exhaustively treated in the articles already 
referred to, by Leicht, Hartmann, and Zimmermann, 
and nothing has since been contributed to its dis 
cussion. Ingenious arguments for and against Alfred s 
authorship have been brought forward, but it cannot 
be said that the question is settled. However, certain 
facts and conclusions have emerged from the dis 
cussion, and may be here shortly stated. 

It is established beyond doubt that the Cotton 
Metra are based directly on the corresponding prose 
version found in B, without further reference to the 
Latin original. They reproduce in metrical dress the 
prose version, omitting little, and adding few thoughts 
of any importance ; and they seem to have been 
composed by rearranging the words of the prose 
version, and inserting poetical commonplaces or tags/ 
to bring the lines into an alliterating form, much as a 
schoolboy might use a Gradus in making Latin verses. 



AUTHORSHIP AND DATE OF THE WORK xxxix 

It has been remarked that certain of the Latin 
Metra are translated in B, but omitted in C (Metra 
i. 6, ii. 2, iv. 7), and that it is precisely these Metra 
that in B lack the formulae which generally introduce 
and dismiss a metrum. This fact is used as an 
argument against the King s authorship of the Cotton 
Metra. But, on the other hand, it is pointed out that 
the prose version of Metr. i. 7 has also no formulae, 
but is nevertheless versified in C. 

Leicht, who has investigated the question most 
thoroughly, shows that none of the usual arguments 
against the King s authorship amount to proof, 
whether those of an a priori nature, or those drawn 
from certain discrepancies observed in the corre 
spondence between the B and C versions of the Metra. 
He himself, however, after carefully comparing one 
version with the other, finds that the alliterating Metra 
of C * offer nothing fresh, such as we should expect of 
Alfred, but only a weak dilution of the terse and 
vigorous prose ; and accordingly he decides against 
the King s authorship. The consensus of critical 
opinion seems to be against Alfred s authorship of 
the prose and metrical prefaces, on the authority of 
which the authorship of the Cotton Metra is often 
ascribed to him ; but nothing has been clearly proved 
one way or the other. The prose preface which is found 
in both B and C closely resembles certain passages 
in Alfred s preface to his translation of Gregory s 
Cur a Pastor alis. It clearly states that King Alfred 
; translated this book from Latin into English prose., 
and afterwards into verse (leode). The metrical 
preface makes the same assertion in more words. 

Leicht shows that the prose preface could not have 



xl INTRODUCTION 

been prefixed to the original version containing the 
prose translation of the Metra, but must have accom 
panied C only, or its archetype, and was afterwards 
added to later copies of the first edition, such as B. 
The Cotton Metra have been compared with the 
verses in the preface to Alfred s Cura Pastoralis, 
which Dr. H. Sweet in his edition of the latter work 
with some justice styles doggerel/ but they seem 
to stand on a rather higher level than these latter. 
They share certain characteristics with the West 
Saxon verse of the tenth century, and clearly belong 
to a period when the rules of Old English prosody, 
observed so carefully in the golden age of Cynewulf 
and in the Beowulf, were neglected, and perhaps 
almost forgotten. Thus the laws of alliteration of 
the classic poetry are often transgressed. Provided 
he has one or two words in the first half line allite 
rating with one in the second, or vice versa, the 
versifier does not much care what words bear the 
stress, while proclitics are at times divorced from 
their main words in a most inelegant manner. 

In conclusion we may say that it lies with the oppo 
nents of the King s authorship of the Cotton Metra to 
prove their case, and this they have not done. An 
investigation of the language of these Metra may, 
however, throw some further light on the question. 
The King, we are told by Asser, was fond of the 
poetry of his native land, and learned much of it by 
heart, and we can well believe that he would please 
both himself and his people by adding a metrical 
version. His hearers, for readers were few in those 
days, would find even a rude rhythm more impressive 
and more easily remembered than the terser prose ; 



REFERENCES xli 

and Alfred himself might perhaps, as an unpoetical, 
practical West Saxon, have regarded these Metra 
with considerable satisfaction. On the other hand, 
he may perhaps have commissioned some skilled 
leodwyrhta, possibly a Kentish clerk, to undertake 
the versification, and the latter s version when in 
corporated into Alfred s prose may conceivably have 
passed from the first under the name of the King *. 

As regards the date when Alfred translated the De 
Consolatione no certain conclusion is possible. Critics 
vary greatly in their chronological arrangement of the 
King s literary works, arguing chiefly from a priori 
grounds, unfortunately almost the only grounds avail 
able. Walker s view, that Alfred translated Boethius 
treatise after the Handboc, the Cur a Pastoralis, and 
the Orosius 3 about the year 897, seems reasonable, 
as our work does not look like the production of 
a novice in composition, but bears the stamp of 
a mature mind wielding the language with the ease 
that could only come from practice.

1 Professor E. Sievers, in Beitr&ge (Paul and Braune), x. 197 note, 
declares against Alfred s authorship of these Metra, and says that he 
believes they were originally written in the Kentish dialect by a Kentish- 
man, and based on a Kentish version of the prose text. Our MSS., B 
and C, according to Prof. Sievers. represent this Kentish text partially 
re-converted into W. Saxon.

GLOSSARY 



EXPLANATION OF GLOSSARY. 

The order is strictly alphabetical ; 8 is used for both 5 and J> of the 
text. The main-words are normalised on an early West Saxon basis. 

Ordinary figures refer to page and line, Roman numerals to the Cott. 
Metra. Pr. = Proem ; MPr. = Metrical Proem, preceding the Metra. 
N. = Napier Fragment. 

Many of the references to the Bodleian MS. text are marked with 
an asterisk where attention is called to the forms. 

The Headings of Chapters, pp. 3-6, and the prayer on p. 149 are not 
considered in the Glossary. 

Verbs marked svi, sv2 &c. belong to the strong conjugation according 
to the classification given in Sievers Angelsachsische Grammalik, thus : 
aberan, sv^. bear. All parts and forms of the verb to be will be found 
under beon. 

Verbs with preteritive presents are entered under the present indica 
tive, e.g. mag, deah. When no examples of, but only the references to, 
a particular case of a noun or adjective are given, the form is identical 
with that last given. Words compounded with the prefix ge- will be 
found under the simple forms. In adjectives the masculine of each case, 
being given first, is not marked as such ; weak forms in -an have not 
usually the gender indicated. 

In text e as root-vowel often = ie in Glossary, io often = eo, o before 
nasal a.
