Abstract

"This article examines and compares two texts of the Christian Middle Ages, Alain de Lille's Elucidatio of the Song of Songs and the opening of the Balade in the prologue to Chaucer's Legend of Good Women....In the two texts, biblical Hebrew is subject to textual mechanisms of repression which become records of their inevitable failure."
