Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Metrical Homilies: From Manuscripts of the Fourteenth Century Of the ancient English devotional MSS. which have escaped the ravages of time, perhaps not the least interesting is a Collection of Metrical Homilies or Paraphrases on those portions of the Gospels which were read at the usual services of the Church. This Collection is remarkable in many respects, more especially from its containing numerous legends of faints and illustrative tales, which must have rendered it a very popular book in the Middle Ages. At the fame time these legends in all probability marked it out as an object of mutilation or destruction at the period of the Reformation, when to many memorials of the former religion were destroyed by the zeal of the reformers - a zeal which was especially directed against books used in the service of the Church, or in the private devotions of the people. Fortunately, however, there are preserved in the Manuscript Collections of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the British Museum, and the Lambeth Library, London, complete copies of this series of Homilies, which, though versified, afford a graphic view of the style of popular preaching at the end of the thirteenth and the be ginning of the fourteenth centuries.
