Abstract

"The Pastoral Care is a work of moral instruction. The title Liber regulae pastoralis assigned to the Latin text from which the Old English Pastoral Care is translated, is apparently the one intended by its author, Pope Gregory I. It may be rendered Book of Pastoral Rule, in reference to the duties of a "shepherd" or bishop. The book is also sometimes called Liber pastoralis curae (Book of Pastoral Care), or some variant thereof, apparently on the basis of its opening words. The work was completed at the start of Gregory's pontificate, in 590 or 591, and it fulfilled an intention that Gregory had earlier expressed of composing for speakers of Latin a resource already available in Greek: an account of the qualities required of a bishop and of the best methods to be employed in dealing with the diverse sorts of people under a bishop's care. It may be deduced from the verse prologue to the Old English translation that Augustine of Canterbury took a copy of the work with him to England when Gregory sent him to begin the work of converting the English in 597. The letter to Wærferth, composed sometime between 890 and 896, has attracted more scholarly comment than any other portion of the work. It is equally enlightening in its straightforward explanation that the translation is one of a projected series intended to be the cornerstone of an effort instigated by Alfred and his ecclesiastical advisers to restore to vitality the learning in which England had once flourished and which was now hampered by general illiteracy in Latin among the clergy, and even among bishops"--

Abstract

'Comparative Grammar' offers an overview of and bibliographical guide to the study of the phonology and the inflectional morphology of the earliest Germanic languages, with particular attention to Gothic, Old Norse / Icelandic, Old English, Old Frisian, Old Saxon, and Old High German, along with some attention to the more sparsely attested languages. The sounds and inflections of the oldest Germanic languages are compared, with a view to reconstructing the forms they took in Proto-Germanic and comparing those reconstructed forms with what is known of the Indo-European protolanguage.
