Description:Excerpt from The Anglo-Saxon Poems of Beowulf: The Scop or Gleeman's Tale, and the Fight at Finnesburg; With a Literal Translation, Notes, Glossary, EtcMy first impulse was to print the text of the poem as it appears in the manuscript, with a literal translation in parallel columns, placing all conjectural emendations at the foot of each page; but, on comparing the text with the version in this juxta-position, so numerous and so enor mous and puerile did the blunders of the copyist appear, and, consequently, so great the discrepance between the text and the translation, that I found myself compelled to admit into the text the greater number of the conjectural emendations, consigning to the foot of the page the corre sponding readings of the manuscript. In every case which I thought might by others be considered questionable, I have followed the more usual course, of retaining in the text the reading of the manuscript, and placing the pro posed correction at foot.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
