Abstract
After the Battle of Hastings (1066), Normans are considered plunderers and barbarians in the extant Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Old French manuscripts. However, the Normans, who settle in England, owned the Anglo-Norman language and add cultural diversity to English literature between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Particularly, Anglo-Norman literature is associated with Anglo-Norman romances. While it is still difficult to define a romance, it provides a transition from an epic to chanson de geste. Romance, a literary genre inherited by the Normans, forms the basis of Middle English literature. This literary genre is inaugurated by the rise of Englishness in England, particularly with the Auchinleck manuscript in the mids of the fourteenth century. In this respect, Gui de Warewic is of signficance among dozens of romances produced in the Anglo-Norman language. Gui de Warewic survives in sixteen different manuscripts between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The major concern of this paper is to explore how Normans contribute to English literature. This paper refers to the codicological and paleographic aspects of the Gui de Warewic manuscripts.

Abstract
On birinci yüzyılın üçüncü çeyreğinde Hastings İstilası sonrasında Normanların, günümüze kadar varlığını koruyan Eski İngilizce, Latince ve Fransızca yazılan el yazmalarında yağmacı ve barbar olduğu şeklinde tasvirler bulunmaktadır. Ancak İngiltere’yi yurt edinen Normanlar, özellikle on bir ve on üçüncü yüzyıllar arasında Anglo-Norman dilini kullanarak İngiliz kültürüne ve edebiyatına çeşitlilik kazandırmıştır. Özellikle, Normanların miras bıraktığı edebi bir tür olan Anglo-Norman romansları, on dördüncü yüzyılın ortalarında İngiltere’de yeniden alevlenen İngiliz milliyetçiliği ile
şekillenen orta çağ İngilizcesi ile kaleme alınan romansların temelini oluşturmuştur. Bu bağlamda, Anglo-Norman dilinde yazılan onlarca romansın içerisinde Gui de Warewic’in farklı bir yeri vardır. On iki ve on beşinci yüzyıl arasında on altı farklı el yazması içerisinde bulunan Gui de Warewic, günümüze kadar korunabilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı orta çağ İngilizcesi ile yazılan Guy of Warwick başlıklı romansın temellerini oluşturan ve Anglo-Norman dilinde kaleme alınan Gui de Warewic’in el yazmalarındaki kodikolojik ve paleografik özelliklerine değinerek Normanların İngiliz edebiyatına olan katkılarını gözler önüne sermektir.
