Abstract

CONTINUED from vol. 262 (64/2), 213–17.1 Riddle 17 was selected for Part I because mundbora in the opening half-line appears to be a clear example of riddling doubleness. To save space, other Exeter Book Riddles will be dealt with more briefly in this Part II than the two discussed in Part I. In what follows I skip some of the Riddles the solution of which is in doubt, including those to which I have nothing to add. The following Riddles are discussed in this Note (often only briefly): 7, 8, 14, 19, 23, 30, 34, 38, 44, 45, 46 and 47, 50, perhaps 52, 53, 54, 58, 61, 62, 63, 65, 68 + 69, 70, 74, 77, 79 and 80, perhaps not 81, 84, 86, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, 93. The numbers printed in bold are Riddles in the opening of which are words that seem designed by the riddler to lead to the solution, or—mischievously—to lead way from the solution.
