| dc.description.abstract | This thesis studies the evolution of a particular riddle complex within the subgenre
of the Symphosian Riddle, a development over more than a thousand
years in which, I argue, the line of influence is unusually clear. Chapter one is
divided into a translation of the Symphosii Scholastici Aenigmata - the first
complete translation to appear in English since that of Raymond Ohl in 1928 - and
an essay dealing with the problems entailed in translating both Symphosius and
riddle texts in general. Thereafter, the thesis traces a progression through four main
"texts" which, it agues, mark significant stages in the development of the
Symphosian Riddle. | |
