      Abstract

      The Old English poem Maxims I has generally been regarded as a wisdom/catalogue poem listing miscellaneous gnomes without any major structural or thematic unity. It has also been suggested that it actually consists of three separate works, as it is divided into three in the manuscript. Against these views, this article will argue that the poet has a design and purpose in mind, and intends to produce a unified work. In listing gnomes, the poet focusses on good matches of beings or concepts, since well-matched pairs represent one of the fundamental principles in the order of the world in Biblical tradition as well as in the ‘scientific’ tradition of the time that ultimately went back to the ancient Greek theory of quaternity. Near the beginning of the work, the poet actually refers to the principle by the gnome tu beoð gemæccan ‘two are companions’ (l. 23b), with several clear-cut examples of well-matched pairs of beings or concepts. Various pairings of this type are dealt with throughout the work, and in order to remind the readers of this key concept, the poet inserts multiple series of short and simple gnomes listing good matches in all three parts. By this cumulative process, the poet presents truths, norms, and patterns in the Anglo-Saxon world and locates them in a wider context of the world order established by God the Creator. The thematic unity, as well as lexical, dialectal, and metrical affinities demonstrated in all three parts suggest that Maxims I is intended as a unified work. In fact, the three parts seem to have circulated together for a long time even before they were copied into the Exeter Book in the latter half of the tenth century.

      The late tenth-century Old English metrical calendar Menologium has been compared with some Old Irish calendar poems ever since Hennig claimed in his influential article published in 1952 that Old Irish Felire Adamnain and Enlaith betha are obvious Irish counterparts of the Menologium. Hennig regarded the cyclic structure of the Menologium and its incorporation of the feasts of the saints into the natural cycle of the year as two telling signs of the influence. His view has escaped any major assessment or criticism and has been repeated in subsequent Menologium scholarship. If we reexamine the issue, however, it turns out that it is difficult to detect any major affinity between these Old English and Old Irish poems that might show a close connection between them. The cyclic structure of the Menologium has its origin in its peculiar system of locating feasts and not in some influence from Old Irish poems, whereas the incorporation of the feasts of the saints into the natural cycle is universally attested and is not necessarily attributed to some peculiar tradition of early medieval Irish Christianity. Those calendar poems are, in fact, quite different both in their structure and their nature; unlike the Old Irish poems, the Menologium has a methodical structure and is computistical, practical and informative, while the Old Irish calendar poems are naturalistic, impressionistic and devotional, which the Menologium is not.

      One of the key words in Anglo-Saxon heroic and elegiac poems, dream, carries quite a strong connotation inherited from the pre-Christian era. It is based on a view of the world as a complex consisting of two alien areas: on the one hand, populated, civilized, secure, and glorious areas (often represented by a feast in the lord's hall), whose existence is heavily dependent on an ideal lord-retainer relationship, and on the other hand, uncivilized, insecure, inglorious ones often inhabited by exiles, outlaws, animals, and monsters. Dream retained this basic idea as well as its place as a key word even after it began to be used to represent supreme joy in heaven. But at the same time, it sometimes began to represent a concept alien to its basic, pre-Christian idea under the influence of the Christian dichotomous view of heaven and earth, the degraded counterpart of heaven. What I examine here is the process through which dream acquired a new meaning based on the new, Christian worldview.
