  • Cleanness (Middle English: Clannesse) is a Middle English alliterative poem written in the late 14th century. Its unknown author, designated the Pearl poet or Gawain poet, also appears, on the basis of dialect and stylistic evidence, to be the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Patience, and may have also composed St. Erkenwald. The poem is found solely in the Pearl manuscript, Cotton Nero A x. That manuscript also contains Pearl, Patience, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. None of the poems has a title or divisions of chapters, but the breaks are marked by large initial letters of blue, and there are twelve illustrations (or illuminations) contained within the manuscript, depicting scenes from the four poems. Each of these poems is entirely unique to this one manuscript. Cleanness (which is an editorial title) is also known by the editorial title Purity. The manuscript, Cotton Nero A.x is in the British Library. The first published edition was in Early English Alliterative Poems in the West Midland Dialect of the fourteenth century, printed by the Early English Text Society. Cleanness is a description of the virtues of cleanliness of body and the delights of married love. It takes three subjects from the Bible as its illustrations: the Flood, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the fall of Belshazzar. Each of these is described powerfully, and the poetry is among the finest in Middle English. In each case, the poet warns his readers about the dangers of defilement and the joys of purity. (en)
  • Cleanness est un poème allitératif en moyen anglais rédigé à la fin du XIVe siècle. Son auteur est inconnu, mais il est couramment attribué au Pearl Poet, d'après son style et le dialecte qu'il emploie, qui semble avoir également écrit Sire Gauvain et le Chevalier vert, Pearl et Patience. Ce poème n'apparaît que dans le manuscrit de Pearl, Cotton Nero A x (conservé au British Museum), qui contient également Pearl, Patience et Sire Gauvain et le Chevalier vert. Aucun de ces poèmes ne porte de titre, pas plus qu'ils ne sont divisés en chapitres, mais les coupures sont marquées par de grandes initiales bleues, et chaque poème s'accompagne d'une illustration en pleine page. Tous n'apparaissent que dans ce manuscrit. Cleanness est également parfois appelé Purity. Il fut pour la première fois édité par la dans Early English Alliterative Poems in the West Midland Dialect of the Fourteenth Century. Cleanness est une description des vertus de la propreté corporelle et de la joie de l'amour marital. Il puise ses exemples dans la Bible : le Déluge, la destruction de Sodome et Gomorrhe et la chute de Balthazar servent au poète pour avertir ses lecteurs des dangers de la profanation, ainsi que des joies de la pureté.

  • Cleanness, ook bekend onder de titel Purity is een Middelengels gedicht dat dateert uit het eind van de 14e eeuw. De schrijver van dit didactische en religieus getinte gedicht is onbekend, maar op grond van dialectische en stilistische overeenkomsten wordt hij gezien als de auteur die ook verantwoordelijk was voor drie andere gedichten die zich in hetzelfde manuscript bevinden. Dit manuscript staat bekend als Cotton Nero A.x, genoemd naar Rober Cotton (1570 – 1631), die een zeer uitgebreide verzameling oude handschriften bezat. Het bevindt zich momenteel in het British Museum. De andere gedichten die tot dit manuscript behoren zijn Patience, Pearl en Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Dit laatste is het enige wereldlijke gedicht in het handschrift. Alle gedichten waren voorzien van een enkele paginagrote illustratie. Cleanness is het tweede gedicht in het manuscript. Evenals de andere gedichten in het manuscript is Cleanness geschreven in allitererende verzen. Het telt 1812 regels en heeft de 'reinheid' of 'zuiverheid' als thema, vandaar de (pas later aan het werk toegekende) titel. Dit thema wordt uitgewerkt aan de hand van drie Bijbelverhalen uit het Oude Testament: het verhaal van de Zondvloed, de vernietiging van Sodom en Gomorra en het visioen en de ondergang van Belsazar.

Cleanness é uma descrição das virtudes da limpeza do corpo e dos prazeres do amor matrimonial. São escolhidos temas bíblicos para exemplificação: o Dilúvio, a destruição de Sodoma e Gomorra e a queda de Belsazar. Em cada caso, o poeta avisa seus leitores sobre os perigos da profanação e, ao mesmo tempo, sobre as alegrias da pureza. (pt)
