The Anglo-Saxon Gospels: The Four Gospels of our Lord Jesus Christ in side-by-side, verse-by-verse translations - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Anglo-Saxon Gospels, also known as the Wessex Gospels and the West-Saxon Gospels, are the earliest full translations of the Gospels into Old English. Here, the two versions are put into a table so the verses from each are directly side-by-side. Because they are written in Old English, the correpsonding translations from the Matthews Bible of 1549 have been included in a third column for reference.

Contains a general guide to pronunciation and a do-it-yourself glossary in the back where you can note the meanings of new words you learn.

The following versions of the Anglo-Saxon Gospels are used.

• Anglo-Saxon Gospels, Mss. 140, Corpus Christi College, c. 1000, by Aelfric
• Anglo-Saxon Gospels, Hatton Mss. 38, Bodleian Library, c. 1200

Sample - John 3:16:

• 16 God lufode middan-eard swa þt he sealde his ancennendan (sic) sunu. þt nān ne forwurðe þe on hine gelyfð. ac hæbbe þt ece līf

Note to Old English Purists: The manuscript I found does not use the wynn or yogh.
