Kiernan, Kevin, "The source of the Napier fragment of Alfred's Boethius", Digital Medievalist, 1 (2005), s. pag., publ. electrònica.
- Resum
- In 1887 A. S. Napier published a semi-diplomatic transcript of a fragment from an Old English Boethius manuscript, which he reported finding the year before as a flyleaf at the end of Bodleian Library, Oxford, MS Junius 86. Medieval and Renaissance binders sometimes used the leaves of older manuscripts, when they had lost their interest, at the front and back of bindings to reinforce them and protect their contents. Junius 86 is the second part of an eleventh-century collection of, for the most part, Old English homilies.1 Unfortunately, the fragment was removed and temporarily mislaid soon after its discovery in 1886, and no one other than Napier has ever been able to examine it. For the inaugural issue of the Digital Medievalist it is de rigueur to use digital tools for analyzing virtual manuscripts. For this job I will be wielding several digital tools originally developed for the Electronic Boethius (<http://beowulf.engl.uky.edu/~kiernan/eBoethius/inla ... ;) in order to create and analyze a virtual facsimile of the lost manuscript leaf Napier describes and transcribes.
