- W2495715294 abstract "The Old English version of the legend of St. Veronica gives, near the beginning, a description of one Tyrus, Roman governor of the province of Aquitania under the emperor Tiberius: “his countenance … was badly disfigured: þœt adl þe we hataþ cancer was in his face, extending from the right nostril as far as the eye”.1 The phrase þœt adl þe we hataþ cancer, which with some caution we can translate as ‘the disease that we call cancer’, may come as a surprise to those who know Johann Geldner’s study of Old English disease nomenclature, in which he claimed that cancer, a Latin loanword into Old English, owed its assimilation into Old English to the Anglo-Saxon physicians’ familiarity with Greek and Latin medical treatises; it appears, he says, only in the Old English medical texts and did not enter the lay vocabulary until the time of the Norman Conquest.2 And yet the word is here, in a pre-Conquest saint’s life, embedded in a phrase suggesting that, whatever this disease is, cancer is the term that the author and his audience would normally use for it. (The words “that we call” are not in the Latin source, which simply says Tyrus vulnus habebat… propter cancrum, ‘had a sore… caused by cancer’.)3" @default.
