Excerpt from Andreas: The Legend of St. Andrew; Edited With Critical Notes HE poem Andreas is preserved in the Codex Vercel lensis. In 1832 this Codex was discovered by a German scholar, Dr. Blume, at Vercelli, Italy. Shortly afterward the Record Commission Of London had the Codex tran scribed, and in 1836 the two most important poems in it, Andreas and Elene, were published, under the editor ship of Benjamin Thorpe, as Appendix B to Mr. Cooper's report. In 1839 the historian Lappenberg, having procured a copy of this publication, sent it to Jacob Grimm, thus giving him the pleasure of seeing Andreas and Elene for the first time. In 1840 Grimm's excellent edition Of these poems appeared, which was based entirely on Thorpe's edition. These two editions were soon followed by Kemble's, which appeared in 1843, with a complete English translation. Again, in 1858, Andreas was published, and this time it appeared in that monumental work, Bibliothek der Angel sachsischen Poesie, which the brilliant (young) scholar, C. W. M. Grein, completed before his untimely death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
