Synopsis

""Studies In The Syntax Of The Lindisfarne Gospels, With Appendices On Some Idioms In The Germanic Languages"" is a book written by Callaway Morgan and published in 1918. The book is a linguistic analysis of the syntax used in the Lindisfarne Gospels, which is an illuminated manuscript of the four Gospels from the New Testament that was created in the 7th or 8th century by monks on the island of Lindisfarne. The book contains detailed discussions of the syntax of the Lindisfarne Gospels, including the use of cases, tenses, and word order. The author also provides appendices on some idioms in the Germanic languages, which are related to the language used in the Lindisfarne Gospels. Overall, the book is a valuable resource for scholars of linguistics, history, and religious studies who are interested in the syntax and language of early Christian texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present instalment1 of my projected Studies in theS yntax of theL indisfarne Gospels is restricted to an investigation of the Participle and of the I nfinitive. The main object of this instalment is to determine whether the syntax of these verbals in theN orthumbrian dialect differs essentially from that in theW est-S axon dialect as set forth in the writers monographs 2on the Participle and the Infinitive in the latter dialect. The investigation is based upon a statistical reading of the four Lindisfarne Gospels and of their Latin originals, as given in W. W. Skeat sT heH oly Gospels: A nglo-S axon and Northumbrian Versions, Cambridge, 1871-1887. In the study of each verbal, I have attempted to make my statistics complete, and have habitually given an account of theL atin correspondents of theN orthumbrian gloss, and in the more doubtful constructions have cited the parallel passage in the Rushworth version of the Gospels, which latter has been read entire, although no account is taken thereof except in the way here indicated. Occasional omissions and misclassifications are inevitable, but I hope that they will not prove so numerous or so serious as to invalidate the trustworthiness of this investigation. As theL indisfarne Gospels is merely an interlinear gloss, and in many respects a faulty one, a larger question at once presents itself, whether or not such a gloss can give any trustworthy evidence as to the normal syntax of the dialect in which it is written. That very gross errors are made, is evidenced by such passages as the following, in which the author uses a nominative as the direct object of a verb and a dative as the subject of a finite verb: John 18. 28: gelceddon forfton se hcelend from 1T he next instalment will (be devoted to theS ubjunctive Mood. aT he Absolute Participle in A nglo-S axon, Baltimore, 1889; The Appositive Participle in A
