Ebook: Homilies of Ælfric: A Supplementary Collection. Vol. 1

A Supplementary Collection, Being Twenty-One Full Homilies of His Middle and Later Career, for the Most Part Not Previously Edited, With Some Shorter Pieces, Mainly Passages Added to the Second and Third Series.

Edited from All the Known Manuscripts With Introduction, Notes, Latin Sources and a Glossary by John C. Pope.

The principal aim of this edition, though imperfectly realized, has been to make available all the previously unedited homiletic work that can justly be attributed to Ælfric. A good many of the Old English homilies still extant in manuscripts of the eleventh and twelfth centuries have remained unprinted, and it has long been known or supposed that some of these were by Ælfric.
