Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of Suffix Rime in Otfrid's Evangelienbuch: A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
A further detailed discussion of root syllable rime is not deemed necessary, and it will be considered only in connection with identical rime. One of the main questions which the present Investigation will aim to settle is: What minimum amount of similarity in the penultimate or antepenultimate syllable will justify us in asserting the existence of penultimate or antepenultimate rime? In order to answer this Question the rimes will be classified under various rubrics, that they may thereby lend themselves more easily to observation, and that interesting facts may thus be brought to notice. All evidence of varying rime usage in the different books will be gathered and subjected to scrutiny, with the intention of offering it as a contribution to the much mooted question of the order in which the various books were written.
