ABSTRACT

In a short paragraph of his ‘Die Metrik des Beowulf’ (1885), Eduard Sievers proposed emendation of preterite plural bǣron to infinitival beran at l. 1889b. This emendation has much to commend it, but it has not been accepted by the majority of editors of the poem. This article adduces new palaeographical, metrical and stylistic evidence in support of Sievers’s proposal, and it also argues that the preterite plural forms bǣron and mǣton at Andreas 1221b and Beowulf 1633b should likewise be emended to infinitival beran and metan.

摘要

在他的“Die Metrik des Beowulf ”（1885 年）的一小段中，爱德华·西弗斯(Eduard Sievers) 提议将过去的复数bǣron 修正为infininitival beran at l。1889b。此次修订有很多值得称赞的地方，但并未为该诗的大多数编者所接受。这篇文章如提出新palaeographical，支持西弗斯的建议格律和文体证据，同时也认为，过去式复数形式bǣron和mǣton在安德烈亚斯1221b和贝奥武夫1633b同样应该仔细的校勘到不定式BERAN和梅坦。
