Robert de Boron and the Prose Merlin
There are so many wonderful things about the internet: there was a time when a scholar had to order through ILL and wait for weeks or months before he or she could set eyes on such works as Geoffrey of Monmouth's Vita Merlini or Robert de Boron's Prose Merlin . No more. from Prose Merlin Robert de Boron Full wrothe and angry was the Devell, whan that oure Lorde hadde ben in helle and had take oute Adam and Eve and other at his plesier. And whan the fendes sien that, they hadden right grete feer and gret merveile. Thei assembleden togedir and seiden: "What is he this thus us supprisith and distroyeth, in so moche that oure strengthes ne nought ellis that we have may nought withholde hym, nor again hym stonde in no diffence but that he doth all that hym lyketh? We ne trowed not that eny man myght be bore of woman but that he sholde ben oures; and he that thus us distroyeth, how is he born in whom we knewe non erthely delyte?" Than ansuerde anothir fende and seide
It does look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI've been using one called "Jer's Novel Writer" which I like for being nearly distraction free, with good usage of margin notes and a database for all sorts of things one might need.
Dear Randy,
ReplyDeleteThe horrible, horrible truth is that they found my weak point. It wouldn't matter if it were terrible, horrible, awful, world-crushing, galaxy-destroying software. They named it right--and that's three-quarters of marketing. However, what they really messed up is that they named it right for about 1% of the world. They need to rethink their target market.
shalom,
