Volume 1: The Pictorial Organization of the Old English Genesis: The Touronian Foundations and Anglo-Saxon Adaptation -- Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- List of Plates -- List of Tables -- List of Figures -- 1 Introduction -- 2 God Enthroned: Pii/P2, with a brief discussion on P3.2b, P16.1, and P17.1 -- 3 The Fall of the Rebel Angels: P3 -- 4 The Creation: P6/P7 -- 5 The Creation of Eve: P9 -- 6 Adam and Eve in Paradise: P10/P11/P13 -- 7 The Temptation of Adam: P20/P24 -- 8 The Fall of Adam and Eve: P28/P31 -- 9 The Covering of Adam and Eve: P34/P36/P39 -- 10 The Judgment of Adam and Eve: P41/P44/P45.1 -- 11 The Expulsion: P45/P46 -- 12 The Touronian Foundations of the Old English Genesis: A Synthesis -- 13 Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index -- Plates -- Volume 2: The Metrical Organization of the Old English Genesis: The Anglo-Saxon Foundations and Old Saxon Adaptation -- Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- List of Tables -- List of Figures -- Symbols and abbreviations -- 1 Introduction: The Old English Genesis at the interface of Old English and Old Saxon Meters -- 2 The Meter of Genesis A -- 3 The Meter of Genesis B -- 4 Split metrical identities of Genesis A: Genesis A1 and Genesis A2 in relation to Genesis B -- 5 Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: The Old English Genesis is the sole illustrated Anglo-Saxon poem. In full appreciation of this unique concurrent execution of visualization and versification in a single manuscript, this multidisciplinary work explores the pictorial (Vol. 1) and the metrical (Vol. 2) organization from both synchronic–structural and diachronic–comparative perspectives. Among the most significant findings of each volume are: The first twenty-two images in the Old English Genesis originated on the whole from the Touronian Bibles; and the underlying classical Old English and Old Saxon meters were interactively reshaped through mutual adaptation and recomposition aimed at their firm integration into a synthesized Old English Genesis. While each part is solidly embedded in the respective scholarly tradition and pursues its own disciplinary concerns and problematics, vigorous formal and cognitive reasoning and theorizing run commonly through both. By way of mutual corroboration and integration, the twin volumes eventually converge on the hypothesis that the earliest portion of the extant Old English Genesis (lines 1–966) derived from the corresponding episodes of an illustrated Touronian Old Saxon Genesis in both pictorial and metrical terms.
