Ebook: Sermo Lupi ad Anglos

Ed. by D. Whitelock; 2nd edition. London - Methuen & Co, 1952. - 75 p.
Until the appearance of Professor Jost's promised work on Polity and Miss Dorothy Bethurum's study of the 'genuine homilies', any contribution to general Wulfstan problems can only be tentative. The appeal of the Sermo ad Anglos, however, is in some ways wider than that of Wulfstan’s other work* and the materials for its proper understanding and appreciation do not lie close to the student's hand. This consideration seems to justify a separate, fully annotated, edition, and the introduction aims at bringing together all existing evidence for Wulfstan's career, and attempts to give some guidance on what works may, in all probability, be regarded as his. Professor Jost’s article in Anglia lxvi has gone a long way towards the solution of the problem, and all interested in Wulfstan await with eagerness his further publications.
