Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study has successfully elucidated various hitherto unknown aspects of the Old English gnomic poems Maxims I and Maxims II. I have prepared a new edition of these works with detailed introduction on their contents, structure, nature, linguistic and metrical features, places in the manuscripts, etc., full commentary and glossary. I have also read papers at international conferences and published articles in international journals.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で注目した Maxims I および Maxims II はminor poems として従来あまり詳しく研究されて来ておらず、両作品とも古英語期の雑多な詩的格言を寄せ集めたものに過ぎないという評価がなされがちであったが、本研究においては、従来よく知られてこなかったこれらの作品の詳細について明らかにすることが出来、またその成果をまとめたエディションを作成した。近い将来これが出版されれば、英語圏において両作品のエディションが出るのは1世紀以上ぶりであり、古英語文学研究の分野における有意義な成果といえる。
