I have *officially* completed a full draft of my #Ormulum translation, including an intro that needs revision! Now to work on the book proposal (ie, my hyperfixation has come, almost, to an end)! #MedievalSky #EarlyMiddleEnglish #OrmLove

Y’all!! Only 852 lines left to translate of the #Ormulum!! It’s only take me a decade… 🙃 #MedievalSky #EarlyMiddleEnglish #OrmLove

Orm doesn’t like the fleshy life. 😂

“Flæs[h]like follc. i flæshliȝ lif;
Flæshlike all unnderrstodenn.
Þe laferrd cristess word. tatt was.
Gastlike tunnderrstanndenn.” (16256-69)

We get it, Orm. We’re revoltingly fleshly. #Ormulum #OrmLove #MedievalSky #EarlyMiddleEnglish

The #OrangeMenace & all those beneath him come to mind as I translate Homily 10 of #Ormulum, which is long & about Jesus’s birth, but the section that sticks out the most right now is on Herod and his rule. Read below for the translated quotation. #MedievalSky #EarlyMiddleEnglish #OrmLove

You see that, Orm? I’m comin’ for ya! 🤣 #MedievalSky #Ormulum #OrmLove #EarlyMiddleEnglish

I've finished revising the Preface & Homilies 1-8 of #Ormulum, & I'm already at 91pp. I begin new translations next week w the goal of having a full draft by April 1! At this rate, excluding intro & critical apparatus, this beast will easily be over 300pp. 😳 #MedievalSky #EarlyMiddleEnglish #OrmLOVE

Today’s #OrmLove: all maidens should be ashamed of “scaldess” (poets) bringing “unnþæwfull” (indecent) & “wælinng” (tempting) words before them (l. 2,190ish). Gabriel visiting her as a man made Mary “forrshamedd”… Hilarious to think of Gabe reciting scandalous poetry to Mary. #MedievalSky #Ormulum

Revising my #Ormulum translations from 2015 w the corrected EETS edition is wild. Baby Medievalist Carla did ok w what they had, but wow… some things were just BAD. 😂 #OrmLove #MedievalSky

I’ve translated 2/3 of #Ormulum based on the old Holt edition. I’ve been slowly revising those translations w the new EETS edition. With a teaching release in Spring, a full draft should be complete! Stay tuned for random snippets here to keep myself accountable. 😂 #MedievalSky #OrmLove

Resurrecting the #OrmLove hashtag. It’s been too long, #MedievalSky.

Does the new @EEngTextSoc edt of the Ormulum, by Johannesson and Cooper, contain a modern English translation? Anyone know or have access to it? Looking for solid translations (& up-to-date editions) of Homilies 9 and 10.
