King Alfred concerning himself.
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.
via 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 Metra ;
to Frau 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 two 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
Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon.

INTRODUCTION
§ i. MSS.
THE Old English version of Boethius' treatise De
Consolatione Philosophiae 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 Ailredttm, 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 quo continetur I fol. I Boethius de
Consolatione Philosophiae, Saxonice per ^Elfredum
xii INTRODUCTION
Regent versus, quo vivente, aut saltern paullo post
obitwn eius, hunc codicem scriptum 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 7^ 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 net 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
cwd^cwced (once or twice cw$)9 ceft—cefter^ and now
and then ponn—ponne. 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.
# is used with few exceptions ; medially and initially
J) 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 12 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
ni by 7! 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 n 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£, na, 31 a, 41 a, 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 ])5n for fionne,
both being very common. A curly mark above the
line represents -us in the words Papinianus and Apol-
linus (p. 66, 1. 30 and p. 116, 1. 1). Water (p. 80, 1. 18)
is written wcet with a mark over the / denoting -er.
The proper names Caucaseas (p. 43, 1. 9), Boetius
(p. 58, 1. 29), and Orfeus (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 imitation1. 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
1 This prayer is entered by Wanley in his Catalogue as a separate
work distinct from B, tinder 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 Zeitschriftfur 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 0, following
h, m, and n, 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. :
xvin 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
(3) 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 9ont #0,
&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 7 (= 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 cz 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 framy 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. 305-306, but with modern
punctuation and words separated ; contractions are left
unexpanded except in the case of the looped k, 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-
tiredus R. ex Lapide in Coll. Aenei Nasi.
(b) By J. S. Cardale, London, 1829. The B text is

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
angelsdchsischen Poesie.
Hickes in his Thesaurus 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 angelsdchsischen Lite-
ratur. Professor Bright in his Anglo-Saxon Reader
BIBLIOGRAPHY xxiii
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 0nderdeAng-et-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 litttrature anglaise (vol. i. pp. 59-63,
eighth edition, 1892); and Grein gives an alliterating
German version in his Dichtungen der Angelsachsen.
3. Liter attire. 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 neiieren 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 fur 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 Geschichle der
angekiichsischen 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 Cura Pastoralis, 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. 1 1 ,
1. 17), which is not in the Latin text, is taken from
the commentary, which runs : (hoc) tarn ad Romae
civitatem quam ad ecclesiam sen 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 martires vult intellegi, qui, ut
beatitudinem 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 Christo.
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 fiammata
with the remark that Nero set Rome on fire, volens
videre quantum fuerit incendium Troiae. The Old
English has after dcere bisene de gio Trogia burg barn.
Hine lyste eac geseon hu seo burne> hu lange, j hu
leohte be d&re 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 set?.), 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 dara gecynda is f heo bid
wilnigende, oder f hio bid irsiende, firidde 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 13, P. 83.
52) nihil est quod natiwam seruans deo contraire
conetur^ Alfred adds buton dysig mon, odfie eft fta
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 resistit.
In Lib. iii. prosa 12 (P. 84. 65) occur the words
lacessentes caelum gigantas. In M. we find loquitur
RELATION TO LATIN ORIGINAL xxxiii
Stcvndunt fidem gentilium vel veritatem tangit, quando
divisio linguarum 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 seu ad paradysum, ubi domus est naturalis.
The Old English version has (p. 104, 1. 37) to (tare
heofonlican byrig de $u cer 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
plaustri quae graece arctofilax vocatur, id esty custos
plan sir i . . . sidera quanto viciniora sunt cardini, tan to
tardiores habent occasus et celeriores or fas , quoniam din
videntiir, parvum autem occultantur. Unde Bootes
quia primus (proximus?} est carding parvo tempore
occultatur, ergo semper tardius ad occasum quam ad
ortum venit . . . Rursus, qttanto longius fuerint sidera
a cardine, celerius occidunt 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. 129,
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 lerram mareqtie
in modum ovi figurari.
Dr. Schepss further shows that Alfred might have
avoided certain errors if he had been able to make
c
xxxiv 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 Catuhts 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 sensum librorum Boetii
DIALECT OF TEXT xxxv
de consolation* 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. z>, and,
what is perhaps of greater weight, Kentish io for
E. -W. S. (or O. E.) eo, as in swior, fiwf ; also weoruld
for W. S. woruld (on the latter see Beitr. xxii. 255).
It is only the eo which represents W. Germ, eu 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 9am gewealdlederum
(Metr. xxix. 76) a regular half line ; consequently he
c 2
xxxvi INTRODUCTION
had to alter the words immediately preceding, and
I believe he did it this way :
/. /. waldefi
fianon he welt dam gewealdlederum.
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
tvalded'1 $am geweltlefirum. So the Kentish welt evi-
dently was in the (original) prose text from which the
man worked.' There are numerous other Kenticisms in
the text of both B and C, and this question of dialect
is one that calls for detailed investigation, as it may
throw light on the source of these two MSS. An
examination of the Cott. Metra from this point of view
would probably lead to results regarding their author-
ship of greater value than those hitherto obtained by
other methods (v. infra). The fragment N, which is
older than the other two MSS., is West Saxon, with
no important admixture of Kentish or other dialect.
§ vi. Authorship and date of the Work.
That King Alfred translated into English the De
Consolatione of Boethius is testified by several early
writers of varying authority. ^Ethelweard in his
Chronicle (Lib. iv. cap. 3 ad 901 A. D.) has this
passage : Divinis quippe super omnia documentis im-
butuS) nam ex Latino rhetorico fasmate in propriam
verterat linguam volumina, numero ignoto, ita varie,
ita praeopime, ut non tantum expertioribus sed et
audientibus liber (librum ?) Boetiilachrymosiis quodam-
modo suscitaretur motus.
William of Malmesbury says (De Gestis Regum
1 Cott. MS. has he done anwald de$. Ed.
AUTHORSHIP AND DATE OF THE WORK xxxvii
Angliae, Lib. ii. cap. 4, § 122), Hie (i. e. Asser) sensum
librorum Boetii de Consolatione Philosophies planioribus
verbis enodavit, quos ipse rex in anglicam linguam con-
fer tit ; and a little further on he again speaks of Alfred's
translation of the work. In his GestaPontificum Angliae ^
ii. 248 (page 177 of Hamilton's edition), occurs this pas-
sage, Assents. . .non iisqiieqnaque contempnendae scien-
tiae fttit, qui librnm Boetii de consolatione philosopJiiae
planioribus elucidavit, labor e illis diebus necessario, nos-
tris ridicule. Sed enim iussu regis factum est, tit levins
ab eodem in anglicnm transferretnr sermonem.
Robert Plot in his Historia Naturalis Comitatus
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

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 RawlinsoiVs 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

\
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 (leofte)' 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 ;

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
leofiwyrhta, 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 1.
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. Wiilker's view, that Alfred translated Boethius'
treatise after the Handboc, the Cura Pastoralis, and
the Orosius, 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 Beitrdge (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 ; ff is used for both 9 and ]> 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' Angelsdchsische Grammatik, 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. mceg, 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.

nasal = a.
a. — accusative.
