Joshua Eyler@joshua_r_eyler

In Aelfric's Life of St. Agnes, Skeat translates "modleast" as "mental disorder." Pfrenger challenges this reading. #Kzoo2015 #s18

#s18 #KZoo2015 Must be careful about reading the Anglo-Saxon through a modern lens.

Joshua Eyler@joshua_r_eyler

Pfrenger: Bosworth and Toller's definition of "modleast" leans toward the notion of cowardice; no mention of impairment. #Kzoo2015 #s18

Kisha Tracy@kosho22

#s18 #KZoo2015 Bosworth/Toller - modleast - "lack of courage" does not seem to fit in St Agnes - rather, like supplement - more "despondent"

Pfrenger breaks down the compound "modleast" to offer a more nuanced understanding of the term. #Kzoo2015 #s18

Joshua Eyler@joshua_r_eyler

Pfrenger: "Modleast" lit. means "mindlessness" or "heartlessness." B&T lean toward latter, but Pfrenger argues for former. #Kzoo2015 #s18

Isabella Bolognese@Space_Hermit42

'Modleaste' = mod (soul, heart, spirit) + least (extreme lack of) so 'lack of sprout or soul'? A. Pfrenger #Kzoo2015

Joshua Eyler@joshua_r_eyler

Pfrenger now turns to Aelfric's "12 Abuses." Suggests that use of "modleaste" here may be most imp for medieval dis. studies. #Kzoo2015 #s18

Joshua Eyler@joshua_r_eyler

Pfrenger: Perhaps best translation for "modleast" is "disordering of the mind." Explains this disordering is social construct #Kzoo2015 #s18

Foot: Bede’s kings all have 3 biographical contexts: families; royal power; end. Family: king as father: of heir, of people #kzoo2015 #s36
