The first Edition of the Gospel according to St Matthew, in “Anglo-Saxon and Northumbrian Versions,” appeared in 1858, with a brief Preface by thenbsp;Rev. C. Hardwick, which is here re-produced in full.

“ An edition of the Gospels, as transmitted to us in the leading dialects of ancient England, was designed and partly executed several years ago by one of our accomplished Anglo-Saxon scholars, John M. Kemble, Esq. M.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge. The undertaking was, however, soon suspended for various causes ; and atnbsp;the time of Mr Kemble’s death, in the spring of 1857, the portion of it actuallynbsp;completed did not reach beyond the opening verses of the twenty-fifth chapter ofnbsp;St Matthew. Under these circumstances the Syndics of the University Press, insteadnbsp;of suffering so good a project to fall entirely to the ground, resolved to carry onnbsp;the printing of the work as far at least as the conclusion of the first Gospel.

“ Although the labour thus imposed on the new Editor has been comparatively «light, it would have proved less onerous still, if Mr Kemble had left behind himnbsp;any notes or memoranda to specify the manuscripts he was consulting both in thenbsp;construction of his text and in his choice of various readings. The uncertaintynbsp;arising from this cause appeared at first sight irremediable; but the Editor is nownbsp;enabled to state, that a careful examination of manuscripts at Cambridge, Oxford,nbsp;and the British Museum, has led to the complete identification of Mr Kemble’snbsp;authorities.

“ 1. The text of col. 1 is found to be a MS. in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, No. CXL. (See Wanley, Catalog, p. 116.) The various readings marked A at the bottom of this column are derived from a MS. in the Cambridge University Librarynbsp;li. II. 11 (Wanley, p. 152); those marked b from the Bodleian MS. No. 441nbsp;(Wanley, p. 64).

“2. The text of col. 2 is the Hatton MS., also in the Bodleian. (Wanley, p. 76.) The various readings immediately below it are derived from the Royal MS.nbsp;T- A. xiv., in the British Museum. (Wanley, p. 181.)

“3. The third text, or interlinear Gloss, is from the Lindisfaene Gospels in the Cotton MS. Nero, D. iv. (Wanley, p. 250); and is here accompanied by a cognatenbsp;version, known as the Rushwoeth Gospels, and surviving in the Bodleian Librarynbsp;(Wanley, p. 81).

“ These different versions of the same Gospel, now printed side by side, are highly interesting to comparative philologers as well as to the critical student of thenbsp;Sacred Text; since they present us with a copious stock of trustworthy materials fornbsp;investigating the peculiar genius of the Anglian or Northumbrian, as distinguishednbsp;from the Saxon, element in our native language.

Chaeles Haedwick.”

Cambridge,

29 March, 1858.

After the appearance of this Edition of St Matthew’s Gospel in 1858, nothing more was done towards carrying on the work for several years, until at last itnbsp;was entrusted to me by the Syndics of the University Press, to whom I hadnbsp;expressed my desire to complete it. The Gospel of St Mark, edited by me,nbsp;appeared in 1871 ; the Gospel of St Luke, in 1874; and the Gospel of St John,nbsp;in 1878.

The arrangement of the subject-matter in St Matthew’s Gospel is explained in Mr Hardwick’s Preface above; but the scheme of the contents of any twonbsp;opposite pages (after p. 23) may be more conveniently exhibited as follows :—

The MSS. are fully described in the Preface to St Mark’s Gospel, p. v, where much additional information will be found. It may, however, be observednbsp;here that MS. IV. ( or C.), otherwise called the Cotton MS., is extremely imperfect,nbsp;and does not contain any portion of the Gospel of St Matthew. It is, accordingly,nbsp;unrepresented throughout this Gospel.

The rubrics in the left margin of the left-hand pages are from MS. A. (Cambridge); with a very few from MS. B. (Oxford, Bodley 441).

The rubrics in the right margin of the same pages are from the Hatton MS.; but they occur in the Royal MS. also, without variation.

PKEFACE TO ST MATTHEW’S GOSPEL.

The numbers in the right margin of the right-hand pages are from the Lindisfarne MS., and furnish references to parallel passages in the other Gospels,nbsp;as explained in the Preface to St Mark’s Gospel, p. xxiii. The Gospel is alsonbsp;divided into 88 sections, in accordance with the “Capitula Lectionum,” printed atnbsp;pp. 16—22. The whole of the contents of pp. 1—23 is printed from the same MS.

The Latin text of the Rushworth MS. is omitted to save space; but a collation of it (with the Lindisfarne MS.) is given in the Appendix; p. 247.

The object of the arrangement is to shew the changes effected by course of tim,e in the Anglo-Saxon text; thus the Corpus MS. exhibits the text in itsnbsp;earliest, and the (opposite) Hatton MS. in its latest form. These are put sidenbsp;by side. Tbe Lindisfarne gloss is in the Northumbrian dialect, and the Rushworthnbsp;gloss (throughout the first Gospel onlyY in the Old Mercian dialect. Wherevernbsp;the volume is opened, all the readings of all the MSS. are exhibited at once.

The Old Mercian glosses in the Rushworth MS. are of peculiar interest and value, owing to the scarcity of early specimens of this dialect, and its close relationnbsp;to the modern literary language. Unfortunately, it is not easy to say whether itnbsp;is a true specimen of the dialect, or only a specimen of the West Saxon of thenbsp;period, as written out by a man whose ordinary dialect was Mercian. See furthernbsp;in the Preface to St John, p. xiii.

The various peculiarities of the Anglo-Saxon and Northumbrian versions, as well as the various MSS. and printed editions are so fully considered in thenbsp;Prefaces to the Gospels of St Mark, St Luke, and St John, that I have littlenbsp;more to add regarding them. I take this opportunity, however, of remarking thatnbsp;the word gebéide (discussed in the Preface to St John, p. viii, note 8) may verynbsp;well mean ‘ covered’, as already suggested; see the fifth sense of the verb bieldnbsp;in Murray’s New English Dictionary. Moreover, Mr Maunde Thompson suggestsnbsp;that the phrase liiw giliamedi (Pref to St John, p. ix, note 1) means ‘got fornbsp;Iiimself a home’, viz. in the monastery, by means of his work; a solution whichnbsp;is probably correct.

In order to facilitate reference to the various points that are there discussed, I have prefixed to this Preface a general Synopsis of the contents of all the above-named Prefaces. See p. iv (above).

It remains for me to state clearly wherein this present edition of St Matthew’s Gospel differs from that by Kemble and Hardwick, published in 1858. It is thenbsp;more necessary to do this, because the differences are considerable, and it wasnbsp;owing to my representation of the improvements that might be made in a reprint,

PREFACE TO ST MATTHEW’S GOSPEL.

tliat the Syndics of the Press authorised me to prepare what is, practically, an entirely new edition.

The fact is, that the method of editing old MSS. has, during the last thirty years, undergone a very great change. The principles by which an editor shouldnbsp;be guided are now very different from what they used to be. To put it in thenbsp;most striking manner, we may say that an editor’s duty, at the present moment,nbsp;is supposed to consist in an endeavour to represent the peculiarities of the MSS.nbsp;in the most exact and accurate manner; he is expected to assume that the scribesnbsp;meant what they wrote, and he must not venture to make any correction withoutnbsp;giving due notice. It might be thought that such a proceeding is simple andnbsp;obvious; but it is quite certain that such was not what was expected of an editornbsp;thirty or forty years ago. On the contrary, he was then expected to edit his MS. ;nbsp;and this meant, that he was to modernise the MS. in every conceivable way, bynbsp;the use of every method which his ingenuity could suggest. He was not to reproduce the MS. as it stood, but only as it might be supposed to stand afternbsp;being so altered as to make it acceptable to a modern reader. It is surprising-how much change could be introduced by such perversity; and I shall now shewnbsp;how it was done.

1. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The mode of use of capital letters in the MSS. was entirely ignored.nbsp;Thus the first verse of the Gospel, in the Corpus MS., is written:—“her is onnbsp;cneorisse boc^ hselendes cristes dauides suna. Abrahames suna.” Kemble’s editionnbsp;has:—“ Hee, is on cneorisse-boc Hielendes Cristes, Dauides suna, Abrahames suna.”nbsp;Here the initial capital and the small capitals in the first word are due to thenbsp;editor; and so are the capitals which commence “ Hselendes”, “Cristes”, andnbsp;“Dauides”. This use of capitals for proper names, somewhat rare in the MSS.,nbsp;was carried to excess in the edition, which also employed capitals for all words suchnbsp;as drihten, i.e. lord, god, God, hcelend, saviour, Jesus, halgan gaste, Holy Ghost, amp;c.nbsp;On the other hand, no notice was taken of the fact that the A.S. MSS. beginnbsp;V. 18 of chapter i with a large painted capital S. Yet this large capital has anbsp;special meaning, viz. that the gospel read on “Midwinter’s mass-even,” or Christmasnbsp;Eve, began at this verse. In the matter of the use of capital letters, the deviationsnbsp;from the MS. may be reckoned by the hundred.

2. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The punctuation of the MSS. was entirely ignored; and a purely modernnbsp;system of punctuation was substituted for it.

3. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The scribe of the Lindisfarne MS. never employs the letters v or y ; and, innbsp;fact, j was not used at all till the fifteenth century. The former edition hasnbsp;V and j throughout, wherever the u and i of the MS. have consonantal values.

PREFACE TO ST MATTHEW’S GOSPEL.

The like use of j was extended to the other texts also. Thus the “ iesse ” of the Corpus MS. in Matt. i. 5 appeared as “Jesse” in the former edition.

4. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The contractions of the MSS. were commonly ignored, but there was no rule

about this. Thus in Matt. ii. 8, the symbol “ 1 ” occurs in the Corpus MS. four-times. In the former edition it was twice so printed, and twice expanded into “and”. In the present edition all contractions in the MSS. are printed as they occur, ornbsp;are pointed out as occurring by the use of italic letters. Thus “ Ü ” and “ 'f ”nbsp;and “i” occur in the MS.; but in Matt. i. 3, the MS. has “Igt;a...genèned...esrönbsp;...ara,” which was printed by Kemble in tbe form “f»am...genemned...Esrom...Aram.”nbsp;It is far better to print “fgt;am...genemned...esrom...aram,” as in the presentnbsp;edition, because anynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;onenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;accustomed to MSS. cannbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;easily tell, bynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;observing the

italics, the precise mode nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;in which such words arenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;actually written by the old

scribe. See Preface to St Mark, p. xxiv.

5. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The accents of the MSS. were sometimes retained, and sometimes ignored;

it is difficult to find nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;outnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;any reason for this. Thusnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the word “ 4n ”nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;was correctly

printed in Matt. v. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;19,nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;but in Matt. i. 21 Kemble’s edition hasnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;“hal” where

the MS. has “ h4l ”.

6. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The letters p and S are used indifierently, as if they were exactly

equivalent, by the scribes of tbe A.S. versions. It is tolerably evident that the printers were formerly told that they might use whichever letter they pleasednbsp;in any position; consequently, the former edition has “ pa Herodes p gehyrde, panbsp;wear's,” amp;c. (ii. 3), where the MS. hasnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;“ Danbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;herodes ~p geherdenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Sa wearS,”nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;amp;c.

This gives us “ pa ” for “ Da ”, and nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;“nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;pa ”nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;fornbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;“ Sa ”, besidesnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;“ Herodes ”nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;for

“heródes”. The fact that the letters p and S were capriciously used by the scribe furnishes no good reason for introducing still further variety.

It nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;is not necessary to say morenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;on this subject.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Inbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;believe thatnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the more

modern nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;method, viz. that of respectingnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the peculiaritiesnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;ofnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the scribes,nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;results in

general accuracy, whilst the other method often introduces, in addition to intentional changes, many other variations that were by no means intended. I have observednbsp;and corrected a large number of such variations.

My own deviations from the MSS. are very slight, and are mostly due to the requirements of the press and of general utility. I give the capitals, accents,nbsp;punctuation, and spelling of the MSS. as closely as possible. I introduce, however,nbsp;hyphens to join together compound words, as in ‘ set-ywde ’ in Matt. i. 20,nbsp;where the MS. has ‘set ywde’. I expand contracted words, using italics to denotenbsp;the letters which are omitted in the MS.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Thus, innbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the Latin textnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;of Matt. iii.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;11,

the words ‘ spm^u sawcio ’ are written nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;‘nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;spiinbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;sco ’nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;in the MS. I have alsonbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;(of

course) nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;introduced the numbering bynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;chapters and verses,nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;to facilitatenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;reference.

I have nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;also found it necessary to usenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;arabic numeralsnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;in the marginalnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;notes on

PREFACE TO ST MATTHEW’S GOSPEL.

the right-hand pages for the sake of distinctness, where the MS. has the roman notation throughout. The most important instance of this change is in the Tablenbsp;of Canons at pp. 10—13, where the roman notation of the MS. is not onlynbsp;extremely inconvenient, but abounds in errors, as shewn in the foot-notes. Seenbsp;p. 10, note 4.

The contents of Leaf 23 of the Lindisfarne MS., as printed at pp. 22 and 23, are now, I believe, printed for the first time. It will be seen that the MS.nbsp;unfortunately lacks the numbers of the sections to which these rubrics, or directionsnbsp;for reading the lessons, refer. But the directions printed in the left-hand marginsnbsp;of the left-hand pages affordnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;usnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;somenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;assistancenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;here. Thusnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the direction

“iNnocentum” clearly refers to nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;thenbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;lesson containednbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;in Matt. ii.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;13—18, where

the Cambridge MS. has the rubric—‘ Dys god-spel sceal on cylda-msessa deeg,’ this gospel is to be read on Innocents’ day.

The A.S. versions have certain peculiarities of their own, and are to be compared with the Latin versions, from which several short quotations will benbsp;found in the margins of the left-hand pages. In Matt. v. 22, there are no wordsnbsp;equivalent to the “without a cause” of our Authorised Version. Matt, xxiii. 14nbsp;is omitted; and so is a part of Matt. xxv. 34. On the other hand, there isnbsp;a rather long insertion between Matt. xx. 28 and the following verse. Thisnbsp;interpolation is found in some of the Vulgate versions, the most remarkable beingnbsp;the celebrated Grmco-Latin Codex D, commonly called the Codex Bezse, in thenbsp;Cambridge University Library.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Itnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;alsonbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;occurs innbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the Corbeynbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Codex (Codex

Corbeiensis), and (with some variations) in nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;the Codex Veronensis;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;for a full list,

see Scrivener’s ‘ Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament,’ c. ix. sec. 6, p. 576, ed. 1883. But the most interesting MS. of this class is thenbsp;Codex Aureus, now at Stockholm, which was probably written in England, andnbsp;contains an A.S. inscription which may be dated about 850; see the long descriptionnbsp;of this MS. in Westwood’s Facsimiles of A.S. and Irish MSS., pp. 1—7; andnbsp;c£ Notes and Queries, 7 Ser. ii. 109, 272. We hence deduce the interestingnbsp;result, that the A.S. version^ of the Gospel was made from a Latin text whichnbsp;is really distinct from that contained in the Lindisfarne and Rush worth MSS.,nbsp;though of course it much resembles them upon the whole. Hence also, the A.S.nbsp;texts are quite independent of the Northumbrian and Mercian glosses found innbsp;those MSS. On the other hand, the A.S. version is closely connected with thenbsp;Codex Aureus, and it is not impossible that it was actually made from a copynbsp;closely connected with that MS. Prof Westwood quotes a few readings from thenbsp;Codex Aureus, which are worth notice.

Thus, in Matt. vi. 11, where the Lindisfarne MS. has ‘ super-substantiale ’

1 Not really ‘versions’; for all the MSS. exhibit slightly varying copies of one and the same original.

PREFACE TO ST MATTHEW’S GOSPEL.

(an error for ‘super-substantialem’), tbe Codex Aureus has ‘ quotidianum Accordingly, the A.S. version has gedcBgJiwamlican, i.e. daily. In Matt. iv. 10, the Codex Aureus has ‘ uade retro and the A.S. version has gangnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;on-hoBC, go thou

backwards; but the Lindisfarne MS. omits ‘ retro though it occurs in the Rush-worth MS. We should, however, observe on the other hand, that the A.S. version does not agree with the Codex Aureus in its peculiar reading of uidere fornbsp;introire in John iii. 5.

With respect to the edition of the Lindisfarne and Rushworth MSS. published for the Surtees Society by the Rev. J. Stevenson in 1854, I may remark thatnbsp;it aims at a somewhat closer reproduction of the MSS. than the edition by Kemblenbsp;and Hardwick, especially as regards the contractions used by the scribes. Thenbsp;'corrections’ of the Latin spelling are also very much fewer in Stevenson. Itnbsp;would seem that Kemble and Hardwick made some use of Stevenson’s edition;nbsp;at any rate, it may be remarked that some errors are common to both editions.nbsp;Thus, in Matt. xxvi. 15 (Lindisfarne MS.), both editions have gesatton, thoughnbsp;the MS. has gesetton. In Matt. xxvi. 20 (Lind. MS.), Hardwick corrects Stevenson’snbsp;reading wur’6 to war^S, as in the MS. I have, however, made but little use ofnbsp;Stevenson’s edition, and cannot give a very close account of it.

I have endeavoured to make the present edition as accurate as I could, especially by collation of the proof-sheets with the MSS. themselves. I cannotnbsp;hope to have escaped all errors, but I trust that they are neither numerous nornbsp;serious.

I have once more to thank the Syndics of the Pitt Press, being greatly obliged to them for the opportunity now afforded me of rendering the editionnbsp;of the four Gospels uniform by the reprinting of St Matthew’s Gospel. The notenbsp;at p. XV of the Preface to St John’s Gospel shews that the work was firstnbsp;planned in 1837 ; it is with great satisfaction that I now record its completion,nbsp;after the lapse of fifty years.
