рRЕFАсЕ

wеrе mentioned in the Рrеfасе to the Sчmmаrу Catalogue; here I Йll паmе опlу those spcifically involved with mу dосtоrаl project. Му greatest debt is to Dr David Dumville, mу rеsеаrсh suprvisor, who has mаstеrmiпdеd the Gеоffrеу of Monmouth Research Project. The present study has benefited епогmочslу frоm his formidable exprtise and tireless criticism. Рrоfеssоr Сhristорhеr Вrооkе and

Dr Neil Wright rеаd the disserиtion in final draft and suggested important

improvements. Both also supplied valuable advice and iпfоrmаtiоп at earlier stages. I have received direction and assistance frоm а пчmЬеr of others, notably Oliver Padel. Fоr discussion about various matters, diTectly ог indiTectly related, I must thank in addition to tlюsе alTeady mentioned Dr Elizabeth Archibald, Dr Marttra Bayless, Dr James Саrlеу, Dr Маrjоriе Chibnall, Dr Sшаh Foot, Dr Diana Grеепwау, Dr Michael Lapidge, CarinTaylor, David Thornton, DT Elizabeth Vап Houts, Dr John Watts, and particularly Магу Minty and Dr Julia Smith. I аm grateful to *lese and others fоr rеfеrепсеs and pidance оп а пчmЬеr of pints. I аm glad to tlrank the librarians and staff of ttre instirudons iп which I have worked. I аm particularly indebted to ttre staff of the МапчsсriрБ Reading Room in фе University LiЬrаrу, Cambridge, where mчсh of the gloundwork for this study was done. I have Ьееп supported in mу rеsеаrсh Ьу а British Academy Scholarship and, since ОсtоЬеr 1988, Ьу а Rеsеаrсh Fellowship at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. I must also acknowledge the contTibution of the Viпачеr fund, whose grant financed the рчrсhаsе of the microfilms оп which much of my project, and ttrat of Neil Wгight, has depnded. Finally, I owe thanks to fгiends fоr mоrаl sчррrt, espcially Simon Clarke, Dr Anrra Grabowska, Dr David Last, Dr Andrew l,eech, Dr Paul Matthews and, most of all, Dr Andrew Gilbert.

suФesýion to king Henry I, iп а priod of intellectual liveliness and innovation. Gеоffrеу traced Йе history of the island of Вriиiп frоm iB first settlement, following tlre fortunes of vmious kings of varying mеrit - t}re island чrаs unified from thйrst, in Geoffrey's account - and describing their impact оп the British landscape in the foundation of towns and the construction of mопumепts. His wоrk wis described as fabulous Ьу later twelfth-centuгy sceptics like william of Newburgh and Gerald of wales,6 but neverttleless it gained сrеdепсе and was iпсогройtеd into histories at ап early stage.7 opinion оп the frivolousness оr о*rейisе of his work is divided: Geoffrey's wоrk сап Ье classed as parody, fraud, оr history.8

GeofЙey's intentions remain Ьчriеd in his work and in its relationship to his sorгces. Тйе reaction of the immediate audience for which it was intended is unknown. However, something of the History's rvider audience and the паtчrе of

responses to it mау Ье gauged. Рrечiочs ýtudy of iB impact has concentrated оп the tangible evidence oi literary Ьоrrоwiпgs frоm it,9 but ttrere rеmаiпs а largely чпехрlБrеd, if mоrе ambiguous, body of evidence applicable to this mаttег - the пlrmеrоus extant mапчsсriрБ.lo They attest when the wоrk was copied (occasionally also whеrе and Ьу whbm) - and sometimes who owned versions, where and whеп. This information, together with that of extant library lisв, сап Ье added to what is kпоwп frоm litеrшу Ьогrоwiпgs about the readership of the text. The evidence of manuscripв contributes fundamentally to knowledge of the text in чаriочs ways; two aspects йll Ье рursчеd hеrе. FiTst, the identification of branches of transmission as represented iп gочрs of manuscrip6 will fоrm the basis for the construction of а text-history. sccondly, using t}ris text-historical material, some account of the work's circulation mау Ье sought Ьу looНng at the chronological and gеоgrафiсаl characteristics of branches of the transmission and at some of the means Ьу which they circulated. These aims йl1 Ье discussed in detail below. Before this, I propse to give some backgIound to the work's popularity Ьу outlining t}re gap in pre€alfridian historiogaphy, how Geoffrey

,rrice tis contemprilries аwаrе that 0re gap existed, and the паfurе of his History's success.

INTRODUCTON

determined fоr tlre moýt pшt Ьу t}rat of Веф, and sometimes also Ьу that of the author of the Historia Вritlопии. It is clear from the stereotyped and limited паtчrе of ешlу twelfth-centmy ассочпБ that, for tlris priod, юаrсеlу mоrе than the thrее ýочrсеý described above were available.l9 Т\е Сlrопiсаrwп Сltrопiсс of John of Wоrсеstеr and tJ/illiam of Malmesbury's Gеstа Rеgwп дпglоrии begin йth the coming of the English аЬочt A.D. 450. Неrrrу of Huntingdon less conventionally

followed the account of Вrчtчs in the Historia Вrittопurлрl but he made no sipificant original contribution.2l The rеаsопs fоr the silence in the historical record ше evident; Bede used Rоmап sources for the priod before the documenиtion and memories of his own

time wеrе available, but to чепfurе back Ьеfоrе Саеsш required acquaintance йtlt the legends of the Britons оr those of their пеighЬочrs, the Irish.z The ачthоr of the Historia Brittoпulпclaimed to have drawn оп both Roman and native traditio. As а result, he said, he could supply the originJegend of the Britons (frоm Roman tradition) and provide genealogies dеsсгiЬiпg Brutus's (оr Britto's) descent and familyJinks with оthеr eponymous founders of Ечrорап nations (from native sources).B TЪle Historia Вrittопutп was аlrеаdу enjoying а priod of renewed interest when а пещ mоrе detailed account of this hiЁrerto оЬsсчrе соrпеr of Insular history арршеd. This latin histогу рчrроrtеd to Ье а шanslation of ап ancient book iп the British lanpage which the author, Galfridus Monemutensis, had Ьееп

given Ьу Walter, archdeacon of Oxford, а mап of acknowledged culture and lешпiпg.И Some context for the connection between these two mеп is provided Ьу six charters (dating frоm 1129 to ll52) frоm the Oxford шеа: Оsепеу, Godslow, Thame, and St Gеоrgе's, а hпrse of sесчlаr сапопý.Ъ Five of these аrе issued оr wiпressed Ьу Archdeacon Wаltеr and include in their witnessJisв а certain

'Gaufridus magister' оr 'Gaufridus Аrtчr'. Wаltеr арреаrý in his capacity as рrочоst of St George's, а psition which he held fгоm l115 until the suppression of the house in 1 149. Не died рrоЬаЬlу iп l l 5l И and the sixth сhаrtеr, of 1 1 52, is йtnessed Ьу his successor, Archdeacon Robert Foliot, also with Gaufridus.u It is not сlеаr why Gеоffrеу аррешs as а wifiress, His опlу official title in these

INTRODUCПON

being imprisoned Ьу Stephen in 1139 _ and after Oxford was besieged in 1142, Geoffrey prhap added secondary dedications, fust to Waleran of Мечlап, and lаtеr to Stephen himself.Ю Lэggе's шgцmепt is speculative. It assumes that the single dedication toRobertpreceded the two double dedications and that Gеоffrеу was respnýible fоr all alterations, poiný which are шlрrочеп. Neveгtheless, Ьу drawing attention to the imроrtапсе of t}re dedicatee fш the author's futuTe as well as that of his work, lэggе invited fчrthеr discussion of the function and thus the implications of the dedications. The раtrоп's role iý iпtеrmеdiаrу iп disseminating а work is well known. Gaimar's translation of GeoffTey's History depn&d on а mапчsсriрt acquiTed thrочф Walter Espec frоm Robert of Gloucester. It has Ьееп suggested tttat, ttrrочф Espc's interest, Аrthчriап material mау have соmе to the notice of Aelred, abbot of his foundation at Rievaulx.al Despite the imprtance of the раfiоп in а work's initial stages, its ultimate fate depended оп iB contents - although Guепёе's statement, 'Le раtrсlп рrорsе, mais le public dispse', has prhaps mоrе rhеtоriсаl force than ассurасу.аz

GeoffTey's History Geoffrey begins Ьу rеmаrkiпg оп the lack of written ассочпБ of еаrlу British history despite а lively oral tradition, thus introducing Walter's ancient book. Geoffrey's 'translation'follows the dedications, andopns with abrief description of Britain - its size, countryside, rivers, cities and inhabitants. The ensuing паrrаtiче mау Ье divided into eight sесtiопs.lЗ

Geoffrey's History begins much where Vergil's Депеid епф, with the sчrчiчоrs of the sack of Тrоу. The Trojan rеIппапt, чпdеr Aeneas (а mеmЬеr of the rоуаl house of Тrоу), have escapd tlre sack of the city and саrчеd out а kingdom in Italy" Some уеаrs later Siluius, Aeneas's gтandson, fathers ап illegitimate son паmеd Brutus. When Brutus Hlls his fаthеr in an accident, iБ ýoothýayers had prophesied at the time of his birth, he is explled frоm Italy. After чаriочs successful military adventures in Grеесе and Frапсе, he settles in the rеmоtе

INTRODUCПON

raised: whether the wоrk circulated in different fшms in England and оп the Continent ш whether thеrе was сопtiпчiпg cross-fertilization across the Сhаппеl, whether distinctively Continental fоrms аrе identifiable апd, if so, whether theiT апсеýtогý rеасhеd the Continent.s2It is known that а mапчsсriрt was at IJ Вес at ап early stage, but not what рrорrtiоп of Continental copies stem frоm mапчscripв inroduced in the twelfth сепfurу. Сеrиiп networks of шansmission mау Ье visible, рrhарs within а раrtiсчlш religious оrdеr. It should Ье pssible to use tехtчаl criteria to фtесt whether each acquired iБ сору frоm separate sочrсеs оr whether they drеw оп а сопrm01 sочrсе. Where several houses, of the same оr different оrdеrý, in the same аrеа аrе kпоwп to hаче owned copies, аrе the texБ of those mапчsсгiрв related оr do they suggest acquisition from sераrаtе souTces? The implications of these questions ше mоrе than tехшаl. Antonia Gransden has pinted out hощ раrtlу because of earlier limitations of the mechanisms of circulation, plitical propaganda tends to Ье а lаtеr medieval рhепоmепоп.5З А study of transrnission сап allow explorationof notions of popularity and influence, botlr tеrms applied to this work. Foucault has attacked the assumption-laden use of the tегm 'influence'to describe рrосеssеs oprating in history: he has accused Ыstоriапs of creating ап artificial concept, а magical medium of propagation of ideas, notions, апd themes which furrctions as an еthеr and has rю fiгmеr basis in reality.g It mау Ь pssible to elucidate some of the processes which might underlie 'iпflчепсе'Ьу smdying t}re transmission of texts, even in а semiJiterate счltчrе. Another questiorr to Ье considered is that of the audience of the Historia. Despite ш}mеrочs чеrпасчlаr translations into чеrsе, it was iп latin that Geoffrey's work enjoyed mаjоr and lasting success. Тhеrе was evidently а significant Latin-reading audience цераrеd to invest mопеу and time in acquiring and rеаdiпg а lengthy non{lassical secular history а wоrk mоrеочег lacking overt moral оr didactic content.s5 The сопtепБ of the Hisloric might ýuggest ап aristocratic ачdiеrюе. The literary language of secularciTcles in ttre twelfthcenfury has traditionally Ьееп regarded as the чеrпасчlаr, hоwечеr.s Indeed, Diana T}son has suggested that it was enthusiasm in such ciTcles fоr accessible adapиtions of the Historia tltat created а 'gTeat vope fоr чеrпасчlаr history'.' А пчmЬеr of readers mау Ье identified from соmmепБ оп the Historia апd summaries оr ехtrасК frоm it in оthеr wогks. These аrе primarily chroniclers, both those condemning the work and those who found it convenient to drаw оп it,

fall of Тrоу, ап appsite association which has Ьееп observed in а different context.6 Some mапчsсriрв Ьеаr the signs of рrераrаtiоп in а scriptorium collaborating scribes copying а selected series of texк. The арраrапсе of Geoffrey's work among

а

This study is essentially а sчrчеу and is therefore ехрlоrаtоrу. The mапчsсriрБ

оп which it is based аrе пчmеrочs and scattered; the quantity of readily assimilable information аЬочt each was чеrу variable - some had attracted sufficient scholarly attention to gain поtоriеtу while ойеrs wеrе not formally catalogued.fl Sчсh а sчrчеу is potentially one-dimensional, giving equal wеiфt to all mапчscripts, even though some mау have Ьееп little read and copied in medieval times; textual information offers а соrrесtiче, hоwечеr. The survey's рчrрsе is to оьsеrче the success of а work which has defied classification. when and where was interest in it most intense? In what milieux it was rеаd? Fасtоrs governing iB impact should also Ье considered: how was ttre text transmitted? When wTiting, ап ачthоr was prhaps influenced Ьу the extensiveness of circulation which he could expct fоr his work. Моrе significantly, the actual effectiveness of means of transmission defined ttre limiв of ilre power of the written wоrd in the diffusion of information and ideas.

PRocEDIJRE

textual investigation, based оп а wide range of mапчsсгiрв. This work was fiTst чпdеrtаkеп Ьу Jacob Наmmеr, who aimed to рrоdчсе а critical edition, but the pюject was curtailed Ьу his death in 1953. The reasons fоr undertaking such an edition deserve discussion. It is widely accepted tha tthe Hiпoria is поt а historical sочrсе in which епоrs of transmission could Ье seen to endanger the ассчrасу of factual information. Nor is the Historia likely to Ье the subject of the minute stylistic scrutiny which а Classical work might undergo, Ьчt this is partly рrhарs because there is no gumantee of what Gеоffгеу actually wrote: ttre fluidity of medieval latin complicates the рrосеss of emendation, the editions of Fшаl and Grisсоm аrе based оп а false equation between the dedications of manuscripБ and theiT textual gToupings, and there is по account of the lively medieval transmission of the text. Ноwечеr, the fact of the wоrk's iпflчепсе alone makes it desirable for scholars in а variety of fields to Ье able to distinguish medieval additions and alterations to the text frоm the оrigiпаl. Fоr ttris state to Ье reached, the wоrk needs to чпdеrgо а cleaning operation which rеmочеs layers of ассrеtion,s This ought also to reveal mоrе about Geoffrey's solrrceý апd intentions. А textual investigation which ýeeks to identify the mаiп branches of the text as

rерrеsепtеd

in groups of extant manuscripts is ап essential preliminary to

а

reassessment of tlre editorial рrоЬlеm. It should show how fаr the printed editions deviate frоm the mainstream of the text and thеrеfоrе indicate whether а new edition is песеssаrу.

The text-histoгy to date Some inroads hаче Ьееп made into the fогmidаЬlе quantity of witnesses to the text. Since Faral's and Griscom's editions, it has Ьесоmе сlеш tttat the Historia did not always ciTculate iп the full-lenglh version printed Ьу iB editors. Jacob Наmmеr, the pioneer iп ttris field, rеmшkеd that'It took the collation of 130 MSS to discover that thеrе is not опе text of Geoffrey of Monmouth but that there аrе several tехБ which go чпdеr the паmе of Geoffrey'.9 The identification of at least two shorter versions posed ttre question of whether the published text should Ье regarded as рrimшу and the alternative versions as abbreviatiolý, оr whether the so-called variants rерrеsепt earlier versions of а subsequently expanded text. Until ttris question is settled it has Ьесоmе usual to describe the longer, commonly occurring text as ttre vulgate оr 'чеrsiоп соmmчпе' and the shоrtеr versions as variantý. It should Ье stated at the ouБet that while the two main fоrms of чаriапt identified to date have Ьееп analysed and textually examined, 'wlgate'remains а blanket tеrm for ttre геmаiпdеr (some l90 mапчsсriрв) апd has as yet little textual meaning. Some definition of ttris tегm is а major aim of tttis pýect.

remainder of sections 3 and 4 (to the Prophecies of Merlin) witnesses substantiai divergence, however. The Prophecies themselves ше little changed. The heaviest abbreviation then occurs iп the lаttег half of the work, whеrе some material is omitted rather than (as previously) reexpressed in abbreviated fоrm. The Second Vаriапt was lnown to Наmmеr in fifteen manuscripý,2l to which three сап now Ье added.z After extensive collation, Наmmеr was able to divide

the Sесопd-Vаriапt mапчsсriрв into three grочрs.2З Groups с апd y contain extensive abbreviations, as described above. Р, however, rечеrБ to the vulgate text аftеr the Рrорhесiеs of Меrliп. Наmmеr арреаrs to have based his sершаtiоп of о, апd 1оп а single reading: their indepndence is thus орп to question.

Method The two чшiапб account fоr опlу twenty-six mапчsсгiрв. Of the rеmаiпiпg 189, six have Ьееп intensively studied Ьу Griscom and Fаrаl, and опе of these has Ьееп the subject of Wright's semi-diplomatic edition, while а few of the rеmаiпdеr have Ьееп discussed Ьу Наmmеr in чаriочs рареrs. In gепеrаl, hоwечеr, the аrеа remains unmappd. The sешсh for the textual features necessary to provide orientationis complicatedby tlre sizeof the text and tlre пчmЬеrоf iБ manuscripts, Опе approach is to gIочр mапчsсriрв according to non-texmal evidence Ьеfоrе investigating texmal similarities. This method was discussed in detail Ьу MauTice ВёчепоL when reediting St Сурriап's ietters: he had needed to locate аmопg the existing l б0 manuscripв the bestfor соllаtiоп.и Вёчепоt described tlre value of the distinctionbetweeniпternal evidence, the tехшаl evidence of manuscripБ - еrrоrs, аgтееmепБ and disagTeemепБ йttl оthеr manuscript-copies -, and exlerпal,'what the mапчsсriрБ can tell чs аЬочt themselves as MSS' - script, date, origin, оrdеr of contenк. Theoretically, at least, complete knowledge of the date, origin, апd travels of а manuscript could contribute to discovering where it was copied and when and whеrе it became an ехеmрlаr itself, and ttrus its antecedený and descendants. Such information is usually imprfectly known and thеrеfоrе of limited value. More fruitfцl could Ье the iфntification of an order of contents duplicated between two оr mоrе mапчsсriрв.

The associations suggested Ьу each саtеgоrу of non-textual evidence will Ье discussed in tчrп and the resulting grочрý of mапчsсriрБ йll Ье tested Ьу comparing readings frоm the passages of text юllated. Thus the usefulness of the

typs of

evidence mау Ье соmраrеd. The identification of the texmal grочр will prhaps allow fчrthеr manuscripБ to Ье assigned gTounds аlопе. Finally, it is hopd that sоrпе ассочпt of the оп texmal to them iпtеrrеlаtiоп of the gToup, and thus фе branches of the text, will Ье possible. In view of the пчmЬеr of manuscript-witnesses and the known tехtчаl complications, the construction of а complete hierarchical ýtепrmа will not Ье possible at this stage. Араrtfrоm the possibility that the authorhimself made annotations, mапу copies wеrе in circulation during Geoffrey's lifetime. Later medieval library-catalogues show that some houses pssessed mоrе than one сору of йе wоrk. Thus texБ were available for comparison against ап ехеmрlаr, whеthеr to rectify lacunose copies оr just for scholarly interest. It is probable that, in Ночsmап's wordý, the mапчsсriрв will Ье divided into factions rаthеr than

чаriочs

characteristics of the

families.8 It is hopd tlrat tlre final stages of ttre process - the selection of the rерrеsentatives of еасhgrочр and the productionof atext- will Ь undertakenbyfuture editors. They lie ouýide the scop of опе doctoral disserиtion. I aim instead to apply the information frоm mу enquiries to the question of how the urork was transmitted. In Chapters II-VII, the texbhistorical evidence is examined category Ьу category

to determine what patterns of association each sчggеýБ. The discussion begins йth the potentially ciTcumstantial - works which ассоmрапу the l1isrorlc in the surviving mапчsсгiрý - and ends with the соrе evidence, tltat of the text iБelf.

The resulting patterm of association ше assembled and фе чаriочs sоrБ of evidence compared in Chapter VItr. The final chapters deal with the context of Geoffrey's History: the geographical and chronological extent of textual gтoups and the general milieu of the wоrk - its readership and the typs of litеrашrе йttt which it tended to become associated.

This еmрrоr, called here rex Rоmulоrwц is destined to defeat йе раgап nationý, but the reigrr of Дпtiсhrist will Ье heralded when the twenty-two kings (including Gog and Magog) whom Дехапdеr confined behind ttre Gates of ttre Nогth break through апd сrеаtе carnage on the Еаrth. The ррчlаritу of this text at ttre Саrоliпgiап сочrt is поt surprising, considering ttrat it a"ssociated the rex Rоmаrюrum with а reigrr of militаrу glоrу (see above, De Дпichrisro).Its original рчrрsе, however, seems tohave Ьееп to exhort the Eastern christians in Ёre face of the Moslem tfueat, the rex being the Byzantine еmрrоr.lЯ The work enjoyed analogous populmity in
