Though absolute blindness was generally considered beyond medical remedy, treatments for innumerable other ocular complaints were ubiquitous in medieval leechbooks and remedy collections. In Beatrix Busse and Annette KernStähler’s words, these Middle English medical texts describe visual impairment not as a total, static state, but as liminal: a “gradual process of decay or of moving towards blindness,” what they call “blindness as a process of becoming.”1 This article explores how conceptualizing blindness as a dynamic movement, rather than a static state, might illuminate the relationship between late medieval medical and literary cultures. I focus on the devotional poetry of fifteenth-century priest John Audelay, which is preserved in Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Douce 302; a brief overview of this manuscript and its treatment of Audelay’s impairment is provided below. The article’s first section proposes that approaching the material and medical realities of Audelay’s blindness as evidence rather than metaphor allows us to understand his writing as the product of a nuanced system of medieval healthcare that, particularly where ocular health was concerned, was shaped as much by continual care as it was by discrete moments of trauma and treatment. The second section discusses the form of the spiritual “remede” presented in Audelay’s “Carol 2,” arguing that his didactic prescription constitutes a regimen of care that asserts the efficacy of durative, long-term treatment. Ultimately, I suggest that John Audelay’s poetry offers one example of how we might productively think through late medieval health as a durative and dynamic process, rather than a discrete destination. Aside from the devotional verse contained in Douce 302, we have only one other document with which to reconstruct Audelay’s life: a 1417 court record that identifies him as the personal chaplain of the Lestrange family, arrested for his involvement in their assault of a knight at a London","PeriodicalId":44720,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY","volume":"122 1","pages":"107 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41970817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As Fidjestøl put it: “All poetry which is orally transmitted from the past can be known only in its written form after the process of oral transmission has ceased” 1 — even though oral transmission may continue again on the basis of written sources. Scholars have argued that it is possible to draw a distinction between the linguistic body of a poem/text and the literary or narrative content, since, of course, a young poem or saga can tell an older story, as Erik Noreen remarked in 1926. 2 This article discusses the transmission of the myth of Þórr’s recovery of his hammer, a story most famously known from Þrymskviða . The story matter of Þrymskviða has a rich transmission. It is possible to follow it from the thirteenth century in Codex Regius, Reykjavík, Stofnun Árna Magnússonar í íslenskum fræðum, GKS 2365 4to, until Early Modern times. The only medieval copy of the poem is preserved in Codex Regius, and the poem does not seem to have been known by Snorri—even though it has been argued that Snorri may have composed the poem. 3 From a later period, we have a cycle of rímur , Þrymlur , which are preserved in Staðarhólsbók (Reykjavík, Stofnun Árna Magnússonar í íslenskum fræðum, AM 604 g 4to), a collection of rímur dated to around the middle of the sixteenth century. 4 We also have a Danish, Swedish, and","PeriodicalId":44720,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY","volume":"122 1","pages":"1 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42832588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among his references to legal devices, Gower’s diversification of the concept of “property ownership” is the most noteworthy. At the beginning of Mirour in the devils’ parliament, “the whole metaphoric complex of property ownership is split between the initial presentation of Man as having lost property (Paradise) and his more extensive role as lost property.”2 After losing Paradise, Man is in danger of losing his soul to the devil. Gower’s allegory expands the narrative of mankind’s fall by continually glossing “ownership” and “property rights” throughout the poem, which creates a tension between Man as property at the mercy of external forces and Man as a free creature capable of","PeriodicalId":44720,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY","volume":"122 1","pages":"106 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46596737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The saint, who in the Middle Ages was conflated with Mary of Bethany and the unnamed sinner in Luke who washed and anointed Jesus’s feet, and who, according to medieval apocryphal legend, evangel ized Marseilles in France following the resurrection, is reported to have been the patron of a chapel at Reykir in Fljot and the co-patron of Fell in Kollafjorður, Grunnavik, Hvammur in Hvammssveit, Meðalfell, Skarð in Skarðsstrond, and Þerney. 2 In addition, the extant church inventories reveal that the monasteries at Þykkvabaer and Þingeyrar and the churches at Borg, Holar in Eyjafjorður, Oddi, Rip, and Skutustaðir had her image. 3 Mary Magdalen’s feast day, July 22, is listed in a number of medieval Ice landic calendars and appears with some frequency in legal texts, both to mark the date of letters and to give instructions regarding the observation of holy days. She is named in testaments, indicating both personal and localized devotion to the saint, and is frequently mentioned in medieval Icelandic religious literature. A significant manifestation of her medieval Icelandic cult is the composite legend of the saint and her “sister,” Mar tha of Bethany. This so-called Mortu saga ok Mariu Magðalenu, which was probably compiled during the first half of the fourteenth century, is extant in the late medieval Icelandic manuscripts NoRA 79 fragm.
