THE poem " Andreas " is preserved in the " Codex Vercel- ^ lensis." In 1832 tliis Codex was discovered by a German It scholar, Dr. Blume, at Vercelli, Italy. Shortly afterward ^'^ the Record Commission of London had tiie Codex tran- scribed, and in 1836 the two most important poems in it, "Andreas" and "Elene," were published, under the editor- ship of Benjamin Thorpe, as Appendix B to Mr. Cooper's report. In 1839 the historian Lappenberg, having procured a copy of this publication, sent it to Jacob Grimm, thus giving him the pleasure of seeing" "Andreas" and "Elene" for the first time. In 1840 Grimm's excellent edition of these poems appeared, which was based entirely on Thorpe's edition. These two editions were soon followed by Kemble's, which appeared in 1843, with a complete English translation. Again, in 1858, "Andreas" was published, and this time it appeared in that monumental work, " Bibliothek der Angel- sachsischen Poesie," which the brilliant (young) scholar, C. W. M. Grein, completed before his untimely death. In one very important respect the present edition differs from all the foregoing, except Thorpe's. It is based directly on the Ms. In 1884 Prof. Richard P. Wiilker of Leipzig made a minute and painstaking collation of the Ms. with the printed text, and as he did this with his own hand, the readings are believed to be thoroughly trustworthy. Soon after his return from Vercelli he sent the present editor Vi INTRODUCTION. (one of his former pupils) this collation, and on it the American edition of tlie poem is based. Grimm's, Grein's, and Kemble's editions have been freely used. The chief canon of criticism followed has been to adhere to the reading of the Ms. wherever it was possible. This has led to a wide divergence from the other editors in several places, and it is hoped that in consequence thereof a better text is here given than has heretofore existed. Till recently "Andreas" was believed to be the work of a poet Cynewulf. Who Cynewulf himself was, scholars are not agreed. Hence it matters little whether the author bore that or some other name. It is, however, of some moment to know that ''next to 'Be6wulf,' 'Andreas' and 'Elene' are the oldest and most instructive productions of Anglo-Saxon poetry."' And it is in their poetry that we get at the real life of our forefathers. In it their stubborn nationality most thoroughly shows itself. " p]ven translations become originals, from the all-pervading Teutonic spirit which was unconsciously preserved in the forms and phrases of heathen poetry."^ CONTENTS. " After the death of Christ the Apostles had divided the whole world among themselves, as scenes of missionary exertion. Matthew had visited the Mermedonians, a race of sorcerers and anthropophagi, who devoured every stranger that landed on their shores. The saint had, like all their victims, been cast into prison together with a nuiltitude of men and women, who appear to belong to his company. According to their custom they had put out his eyes, and given him to drink a potion which reduces man to the level of the beasts, and causes him to feed on grass and hay like the cattle of the field. But from this fate his faith appears to have saved him : he prays to God that he may not lose ^ Jacob Grimm. 2 j. m. Kemble. INTRODUCTION. VU the intellect by which he is enabled to glorify his Creator ; and he receives by a voice from heaven the gracious assur- ance that his prayer is heard, and that 8t. Andrew shall be sent to release hiin from his misery. To this saint a com- mand is now deUvered to set out for Mermedonia, which dangerous undertaking he at first attempts to decline ; but being rebuked by God, he manfully addresses himself to bis journey with a number of selected comrades. At the sea-shore he sees a boat with three rowers, who, being interrogated as to their country, reply that they are from Mermedonia, whither they are about to return. Andrew requests a passage, which they are willing to give, on con- dition of payment. On hearing however that the saint and his companions have no gold and silver, and are servants of Jesus Christ, the strangers agree to take them gratuitously to Mermedonia. The three rowers are in fact Almighty God and two of his angels. During the voyage Andrew is induced to relate various events in the life of his master, for the instruction of the supposed steersman and the edifi- cation of his own comrades. One of these episodes is of importance to the history of the poem. According to St. Andrew, the Jews having demanded a sign of the Saviour and a proof of his divine descent, Jesus performed a great miracle to confound them. On the walls of the temple, to left and right, were carved two images of the Seraphim^: these the Saviour caused to descend from their places, audi endowed them with speech ; he then sent them over the/ desert to the plain of Mamre, where Abraham, Isaac, anq Jacob were buried, commanding them to call the patriarchs from their graves, that they might bear witness to him. This is done, and the reanimatea remains are not dismissed to their repose till they have testified that Jesus is indeed the Christ, the Son of the Living God. "A deep sleep falls upon St. Andrew and his comrades; 1 Teraphim ? VUl INTRODUCTION. during which they arc laid upon the shore of Mermedonia, when it is first revealed to them who has been the guide of their journey. Invisible to all eyes, the saint advances to the prison where St. Matthew and his companions languish. On his arrival the guards fall down dead ; sight is restored to the blind apostle, who departs with his whole company, praising (iod. The next day is the one on which, according to their custom, the cannibals assemble to slaughter and eat some of their captives ; they find the prison open, the jailers dead, and their prey escaped. Horror and despair seize upon them : they are reduced to the necessity of choosing a victim from among themselves by lot. The heavy doom falls upon an old man, a principal councillor among them, who to redeem his own life offers his voun"' son for sacrifice. But this awakens the compassion of St. Andrew, who miraculously blunts the weapons that are directed against the youth, and rescues him from death. Wliile the confusion and terror of the Mermedonians are at the highest, a fiend, watchful for opportunities to molest the servants of God, calls attention to the apostle, whom he denounces as the rescuer of St. Matthew and tlie cause of their present trouble. On this the saint is seized and imprisoned, and for several davs grievouslv tormented bv beins; dragged over the rough ways, till the flesh is torn from the bones : in his prison, devils revile and scoff him, but he defeats them by a steadfast faith, and drives them from him in con- fusion. At lengtli his patience gives way under the inten- sity of torture ; he remonstrates with God, praying for speedy death, and is told that his martyrdom is accomplished. He now calls a mighty flood, which sweeps away tlie most active of his tormentors. The rest, stricken with terror, are converted, instructed, and baptized ; and after remaining with them for a season, St. Andrew sets sail and returns to Achaia." — J. M. Kkmble.

By following the Ms. as closely as possible this edition of Andreas has six lines less than Grein's. Then there are a few words that the editor interprets differently from the other editors. Hence, it was thought best to place all such matters under this head. Difficult or peculiar passages will be translated in the Glossary. LINE 28. )>4ra J>e . . . s6hte. "As Kemble has already shown (B. 4762), J>ara J>e (eorum qui) is generally followed by the sg." Grimm. Cf. 379, 1150; El. 1226; B. 997, etc. The pi. is likewise found: B. 98, 786; Dan. 64; El. 971, etc. 64. hu me elJ»eodige . . . seoS'aS', how for me these strangers are de- vising a chain of mischief, a net of snares. seoffaU : literally this word means to seethe, boil. It is used figuratively twice in Beowulf, where it means to he excited over, brood, pine, B. 190, 1994. In sarbennum soden, 1237, it comes nearer the original meaning. 301. Naebbe ic faeced gold . . . s'wA )>u worde becwlst, I have no acquired gold nor rich treasure, wealth of land nor abundance of locked rings nor joints of wire, that I may ichet thy desire, thy will in the world, as thou with word sayest. Grimm translates naebbe ic faeced, non attuli ; but this construction would not suit the rest of the passage, faeced I take to be, not from feccan, faeccan, but from facian ; cf facade, Oros. 3, 11 ; Bos. 75, 28. 361. gehladenne. In B. 38, of which passage this is an imitation, ■we have the infinitive, gegyrwan. This construction is not found in Beowulf, nor elsewhere in the poetry, so far as I know. For the usual construction, see 1174, March, § 449 (a). 375. w^do gewaette, the wet weeds (sails) ; loet with waters, Kemble ; waves swelled, Grein ; replebatur aquis, vadum madefiebat, Grimm ; w^do geTvaette is in apposition with strengas. For the conception, cf J>a waes be maeste merehraegla sum, segl sale faest, B. 1906. w^do 76 CRITICAL NOTES. seems to have here its original meaning, namely, something which is wound or wrapped rovnd ; cf. Shaks. Mids. N. D., II. 1, 256, "weed wide enough to irrap a fairy in"; see Skeat's Etym. Diet, under "weed " (2). Furtlier cf. Swod. -wad, cloth of the sail. For tlie form gewaette, see Cook's Sievers' Grammar of Old English, § 406. 496. beataff, 3d sg. pres. For other examples in -aff, see Jjreataff, 520, gangaff, 800. See Cook's Sievers' Old Eng. Gram. § 358. 742. Septe sacerdas, etc., It made the priests perceive through manifest tokens, etc. septe has heretofore been left unexplained ; Grimm, (irein, and Kemble changed it to se%vte; Zupitza recognized the correct form, namely, septe El. 530, sopton Dan. 446 (thougli Hunt retains sewton), and septe in this place — ; but left them in doubt. He could not decide between seppan (mit saep zusammen hangend ? ? ) and sSpan. See his edition of Elene, p. xi. seppan i.-< a denominative verb, akin to saep, root *sapa, Goth. *sapjan, O.Il.G. sewen, seppen, M.H.G. seben " wahrnehmen." See Kluge's Etym. W'b'h. 280, under "Saft"; Skeat's etymology of sap seems to be totally false, seppan is perhaps akin to sapio. Kluge leads up to seppan, but does not seem to have known this word. 819. J7us Andreas . . . berede . . . haliges lare, Thus Andrew the livelong daij made known in lofti/ words the teaching of the Holy One. berian (a denominative from baer) means literally to make hare; cf. benc-)>elu beredon, B. 1240; >a J»e me for werode wisddm bereU, who to me make a shoiv of wisdom before the people, Dan. 142. Further cf. abarian, barenian. 827-29. Kemble leaves a vacant space of two half-lines, Grimm of one, Grein prints thus : — J>urh lyft gelac on land becwom t(5 \>&re ccastre, he him cyning engla [in Achaia ^r getacnode]. [Gewiton] l^a ha aras [eft] si'Sigean eadige on upweg e^les neosan, I^ton, etc. But, as there is no gap in the Ms., it is perhaps better to arrange this jias.sago as it is found in the text. I would translate thus: Through motion through the air he came into the land, to the city, from ichich then the king of the angels arose to go away from him in blessedness on the upway, to visit his native seat. They left the holy man, etc. sffflgean, inf. of purpose, cf gewat >a neosian, B. 115; sende bodian, Bed. 3, 22 ; him is in the dat. with sid'igean, see March's Anglo-Saxon Gram- mar, § 301 [b). CRITICAL NOTES. 77 997. herede . . . god, dryhtendom, praised on high the goodness of heaven's King, his dominion. See 1. 998 (textual notes) for other read- ings. 10o(!. )>*r he n&nige forlet . . . forhte gefreoffode, There he left none under the city locks with wounds in the Jastness (prison), where of women there yet, in addition to the troop {of men) (besides the men), he/reed from fear fifty wanting one. J>e before fiftig seems to be superfluous ; n&nlge is ace. pi. ; faestne occurs again, 1489; r/'. gen. pi. faestna, Dan. 692; faestenne occurs three times, 1033, 1066, 1175. Here Grimm and Kemble leave several gaps. Grein prints this passage thus : — swylce fedwertig [eac feorcundra] < generede fram niSe : hser he nsenigne forlet under burglocan bendum fsestne, ond J^ser wifa ^a gyt weorodes to eacan S,nes wana ealra fiftig forhte gefreo'Sode. 1076. unhyffige, contristatus, Grein ; sad-minded, Kemble. For dif- ferent readings, see Textual Notes. im + hyS + ig : hyff, booty; hySan, to make booty, hence bootyless, ivithout booty. The idea is repeated in luste belorene. 1098. hwylcne hira . . . sceolde, etc., which of them should first, etc. ; cf. gebjTgde J>8es ge^veox, Gen. 483. See March, § 384. 1223. sec = secg is found twice elsewhere in Mss. See Grein's Glos- sary, under secg. 1475. As Fritzsche has already remarked, there is an evident break in the poem at this place {Anglia, Bd. 2, 441, etc.). This, he thinks, might have been due to one of two causes. The poet became indiffer- ent for a while and later finished the poem, or died and another com- pleted his work. At any rate Fritzsche is correct in stating tliat the language is not so poetic nor the original so closely followed from here on. The translation of the opening lines seem to be as follows : Lo! I noiv a rchile have been setting forth in words the teaching of the Holy One, the praise of the songs of him irho wrought them — a fate {an affair, or an allotted task??) unmistakably beyond my power. See Grimm and Kemble for different conceptions. Grein agrees in part with the above translation ; but he renders wyrd undyrne ofer min gemet doch weit iiber meine Krdfte geht das unverborgene Ereignis. 1489. He wondrously saw by the ivall, by the fortress, at the foot of the hall-plane immense spears, columns, standing storm-driven, the old work of giants. So I would translate this passage. Grein makes the following 78 CRITICAL NOTES. changes, f;«ste (for faestne), saelwage (for saBlwaiise), sweras (for speras), thus altering the passage very materially. We had this form of ftBstne in line 1037; saelwange is a compound like meodo-wang, mead-jieiil (where the mead-hall stood), 11 1044; speras, so far as 1 zxn acquainted with the word, is n.; but in the cognalu hiiiguages it is m. f., cf. (ier. speer m., Icel. spior f. For a number of words of double gender in Andreas, see Fritzsche's article in the Anglia, Bd. 2, p. 479. As to meaning, cf. speru, I my poles to try the dqyth of the water. Cot. 35, catapulta", Cot. 45, 18!) (Bosworth's Dictionary). 1523. Meodu scerpen wears', etc. llie. mead became sharp after the day of feast in// ; see below, 1530, biter boorjjogu. The mead was spilled, Kemble, Grimm retains scerpen in the te.xt, but leans to scerweu in the Notes; Grein has changed the reading to scerwen. This word occurs B. 770, but the editors are still in doubt about it. See Harrison and Sharp's edition of Beowulf, under scerwen. The form scerpen is found in the Ms. I take it as a part. adj. r sharpened, sharp, bitter, sour. e for ea is quite frequent in this poem. Exs.: agef, 572 (frequently); geseh, 714, werff, 000; niehte, 479, 928; seel, 046; scell, 1480; scerp, 1131, and scerpen. It is from the same root as scearp, sceorfan, O.H.G. screwon, scarbon, M.II.G. schar- ben. 1582. heofon swaffrode, the lamentation ceased. Grimm, Grein, and Kemble have changed the Ms. reading, heofon, to geofon; but these words continue the thought in J>a wais . . . .efter gyrne. For heofon, see Exod. 47; heofon J»ider becom (H. Z. xi., 430-31). 1658-64. Grimm, Grein, and Kemble leave a gap or two here. As the Ms. shows no vacant space, I have endeavored to get the following out of this passage : Then to him the God of (/lory appeared on the Journey, and this word spoke the Lord of hosts .■ " The people in consequence of their evil deeds (their mind is ready (for death?)) go mourning, they lament their grief men and women together; their iveeping goes hastening forth, their mourning mood etc. makes itself heard."

ANNOUNCEMENTS RECENT BOOKS IN LITERATURE SCHILLER By EuGEN KiJHNEMANN, Profcssor of Philosophy in the University of Breslau, Germany. Translated by Katharine Royce. Two volumes, 8vo, cloth, 844 pages, with frontispiece, $3.00. There is no study in English which so adequately treats the literary, the critical, the philosophical, the aesthetic, and the ethical aspects of Schiller's personality and life work as Professor Kiihnemann's " Life of Schiller." The author discusses at length the influences which de- termined Schiller's personal and artistic development from his youth to the maturity of his powers, his permanent literary significance, and his relation to the dramatic poetry of his predecessors and successors.
