Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aelfric´s Lives of Saints: Being a Set of Sermons on Saint´s Days Formerly Observed by the English Church Ælfric´s Lives of Saints, now for the first time printed, may practically be regarded as forming a ´third series´ of ÆIfric´s Homilies. The first series was printed for the ÆIfric Society in 1844, with the title - ´The Homilies of the Anglo-Saxon Church. The First Part, containing the Sermones Catholici, or Homilies of Ælfric, in the original Anglo-Saxon, with an English Version. Vol. I. By Benjamin Thorpe, F. S. A.´ The second series was printed for the same society in 1846, with precisely the same title, excepting only the substitution of ´Vol. II.´ for ´Vol. I.´ The use of the phrase ´The First Part´ in the above title is remarkable, since we are not told what the ´Second Part´ was to be, nor did any ´Second Part´ ever appear. However, in the list of ÆIfric´s works given in the Preface to vol. i., there is mention of ´A Collection of Homilies on the Saint´s days observed by the Anglo-Saxon Church.´ It would therefore seem as if Mr. Thorpe had at one time the intention of publishing a second part, which most likely would have contained the Lives which I have now undertaken to edit for the Early English Text Society. Instead of ´second part,´ I employ the term ´third series,´ because it better describes the exact state of the case.
