Snow 2007: "Second part of a study of formulaic expression in the CSM, initiated in the Baldinger homage volume [1979]. Carefully catalogued in the opening section are epithets and similar expressions used to refer to Christ (e.g., as Godhead, Creator, Saviour, Lord, Son/Father of Mary, etc.) and to the Devil. The latter part occupies itself with formulaic style in the introductory sections of the miracle narrations (92% include some comment on the source of the account). Three more parts of the study are announced here." |
