This work is composed of two parts. The first or introductory part, contains a palaeographical discussion about Bodleian Library, MS Auctarium D.2.19, that is to say, the MacRegol Gospels or the Rushworth Gospels, edited by Kenichi Tamoto, and which forms the second and main part of this book. The provenience of the MS, the Latin text, the use of the MS, and the Old English gloss are discussed in detail in the introductory part. The chief aim that the author set himself is firstly to survey preceding printed versions of the MS, such as Stevenson & Waring (1856-65) and W.W. Skeat (1871-87), and secondly to publish the complete edition of the MS with the whole Latin text interlineally glossed in Old English. This work will stimulate further research into the MS, in particular the comparative study of Old English glosses, such as those of the Lindisfarne Gospels.
The Complete Annotated Facsimile includes: Comprehensive annotation of scripture verse and folio references on every page; Discussion of original Latin text, the later Old English translation, and what we know about the authors; Highlights of historical notes and errata in the original book; High quality color reproduction of the original manuscript; An introduction and discussion of this fascinating medieval treasure. The MacRegol Gospels, also known as the Rushworth Gospels, is a beautifully illuminated manuscript in the Celtic style of the four Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The work was created in the late 8th or early 9th century in Ireland. The Latin Vulgate is the base text, to which a later reviser added a parallel translation in Old English. Along with other Insular Illuminated manuscripts like the Book of Kells, the MacRegol Gospels not only formed the foundation of the Celtic art style, but also gives insight into the rapid, early spread of Christianity in the British Isles.
This study presents an edition of Farman's Old English interlinear gloss (Rushworth One) in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Auct. D. 2. 19 (The Rushworth, or MacRegol, Gospels). The edition, which is designed to be used together with online facsimiles of the manuscript (from the Digital Bodleian), prints both the Latin text and the Old English glosses, along with a critical apparatus collating the Latin text with standard editions of the Vulgate Gospels and with the Lindisfarne Gospels. The introduction discusses the history of the manuscript and then presents a detailed examination of Farman's gloss, focused on its textual, linguistic and palaeographical features. The edited texts are followed by a full commentary and a glossary.
