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 Indi the liability to error are immensely increased. vidual pages of this MS. have received as much as an

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

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,

in the complete glossary forming part of Grein s Bibliothek der angelsachsischen Poesie, are also indexed in the Glossary of the present work,

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
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,

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

Metra

not this unanimity. This question has exhaustively treated in the articles already
there
is

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.

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
