项目摘要

In order to establish the corpus of all extant manuscripts Containing Middle English I consulted all manuscript catalogues available to me and for each manuscript I filled in a form which I had specially designed for this project. Concise information about each manuscript has therefore been collected on each form : the institution which owns It, the shelf-mark, the date, the material on which it is written (in other words, paper or parchment), the format, the script, the number of hands, texts in the manuscript (and the language(s) in which they are written), its owners and users in the middle ages and during the early modern period, references and so on, I also conducted research on famous collectors and on the histories of great libraries in Britain, The internet was extremely useful in helping me to gather necessary information from all over the world.From the research the following conclusion was drawn Manuscripts containing Old English were scatfered and most were lost after the dissolution of the monasteries ; however, some of them were discovered and kept to be studied to justify the policies of the Church and the State, They were eventually donated to great libraries by collectors by the end of the eighteenth century because those were the safest places for valuable manuscripts to be preserved, On the other hand, beautiful Middle English manuscripts were a status-symbol and were treated as part of the family-property among the wealthy gentry and merchants ; therefore they were passed from generation to generation in private collections. Mediocre-looking manuscripts containing Middle English religious texts were originally read by not only women but also men who could not understand Latin in monasteries or were used for education at home. Some of them seem to have been secretly preserved and read by Catholics while they were oppressed.

为了建立所有包含中间英语的现存手稿的语料库，我咨询了所有可用的手稿目录，对于我填写的每个手稿，我都以我为该项目专门设计的表格。因此，有关每种手稿的简洁信息已在每种形式上收集：拥有它的机构，货架标记，日期，书写材料（换句话说，纸张或羊皮纸），格式，脚本，手的数量，手稿中的文本，手稿中的文本（以及他们所编写的）以及在其本人和用户中的撰写，以及在中间及其及其及其及其及其在现代中的介绍）在英国伟大图书馆的历史上，互联网在帮助我收集世界各地的必要信息方面非常有用。从研究中得出以下结论，绘制了包含古老英语的手稿，大部分是在修道院解散之后丢失的。然而，其中一些被发现并进行了研究以证明教会和国家的政策是合理的，在18世纪末，他们最终被收藏家捐赠给了很棒的图书馆，因为这些地方是最安全的手稿，另一方面是保留的，一个美丽的中英语手稿是一种地位，是一种状态的杂物，是一位善良的人，是一份有才华的人，并且是一方面的有才华的人，并且是一部分。因此，它们是在私人收藏中代代相传的。最初不仅是女性，而且在家中无法理解拉丁语或在家中用于教育的男人，看上去平庸的手稿最初是由女性阅读的，而且是无法理解拉丁语的男人的阅读。他们中的一些人似乎在被压迫时被天主教徒秘密地保存和读。
