项目摘要

Ancrene Wisse ('a guide for nuns'), a work originally written in the thirteenth century, survives in English, French, and Latin versions and is attested in seventeen manuscript witnesses. In 1976 E. J. Dobson made a stemma of textual relationships which laid out an overview of the whole tradition. However, as he admitted, it was based on trial collations of selected passages. It is necessary to return to traditional text-historical methods, building on his insights into the relationships where there were determined with the aid of strictly comparable passages. Results of my research clearly show that his stemma has many problems; I have suggested some revision which Dobson's stemma needs.A detailed examination of the affiliations of the texts has revealed that there was a substantial multiplication of copies within the first half-century after the original was composed. It is very likely that the author was Dominican although Dobson maintained the work's strong connection with the Augustinians.I have conducted research mainly in the manuscript room of British Library and Cambridge University Library. At the rare-books room of Cambridge University Library I was able to have access to books and periodicals very useful to my work; I obtained many microfilms and photocopies of materials on monasteries, friars, and nuns in the late Middle Ages.I had a chance to invite two excellent scholars of medieval history and literature from abroad to hold a medieval seminar on Old English paleography at Kansai University. I also attended many conferences in Britain and the States to have discussions and exchange ideas with people about my research and related topics. A Book of Ancrene Wisse, which was edited by Yoko Wada and published in 2003, is a collection of essays newly written for the book by the editor and scholars from four countries.

Ancrene Wisse（“修女的指南”），最初写于13世纪的作品，以英语，法语和拉丁语版本生存，并在十七个手稿证人中得到了证明。 1976年，E。J。多布森（E. J. Dobson）建立了文本关系的词干，列出了整个传统的概述。但是，正如他承认的那样，这是基于选定段落的审判碰撞。有必要返回传统的文本历史方法，建立在他对借助严格可比段落的关系的洞察力的基础上。我的研究结果清楚地表明，他的词干有很多问题。我提出了一些Dobson的Stemma需求的修订。对文本的隶属关系的详细检查表明，在原始作品构成后的前半个世纪内有大量副本。尽管多布森保持了与奥古斯丁的牢固联系，但作者很可能是多米尼加人。我主要在大英图书馆和剑桥大学图书馆的手稿室进行了研究。在剑桥大学图书馆的稀有书房，我可以访问对我的工作非常有用的书籍和期刊。我在中世纪后期获得了许多关于修道院，修道士和修女的材料的材料的材料。我还参加了英国和各州的许多会议，与人们就我的研究和相关主题进行讨论和交流。由Yoko Wada编辑并于2003年出版的《 Ancrene Wisse》的书是由《四个国家的编辑》和《学者》新撰写的一本书的集合。
