Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Homilies of the Anglo-Saxon Church, Vol. 1: The First Part, Containing the Sermones Catholici, or Homilies of Ælfric The work now presented to the Members of the Ælfric Society, the first fruit of its praiseworthy attempt to rescue from oblivion the literary remains of our forefathers, was selected for the earliest publication of the Society, on account both of its valuable matter and the beautiful medium by which it is conveyed. Of the author of the Sermones Catholici we know nothing with certainty beyond his name, though from the words of his own preface, where he speaks of king Ætherlred´s days as past, and informs us that in those days he was only a monk and mass-priest, it follows that he was not Æltric archbishop of Canterbury, who died in the year 1006, or ten years before the death of king Ætherlred. With better foundation we may assume him to have been Æltric archbishop of York, who presided over that see from the year 1023 to 1031.
