By Mr. Underhill's request, I’m posting more info about this title, with photos.
The Digressions in Beowulf by Adrien Bonjour. 1950. Medium Ævum Monographs V. (Published for the Society for the
Study of Mediæval Languages and Literature by Basil Blackwell, Broad Street, Oxford.) 80 + xvi pages.
The Tolkien connection is rather remote. In the acknowledgments the author says:
“Finally, I express my gratitude to the many Beowulfian scholars cited in the notes, and particularly to three of the greatest, Prof. Fr.
Klaeber, Prof. J. R. R. Tolkien, and the late Prof. R. W. Chambers.”
If anyone wants a copy I have an eBay listing, but would happily sell direct if you DM me.

Thank you Philomythos for the information. Always fascinating to find out about a new Tolkien related volume. Even if it's tertiary. I liked it so much that I bought it
