Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aelfric´s Anglo-Saxon Homily on the Birthday of St. Gregory: And Collateral Extracts From King Alfred´s Version of Bede´s Ecclesiastical History, and From the Saxon Chronicle; With a Full Rendering Into English, Notes Critical and Explanatory, and an Index of Stems and Forms In presenting the Anglo-Saxon Homily on the Birth-day of St. Gregory to the American public, the Editor deems no apology necessary, as the chief object of the publication, the advancement of the study of the language in which it appears, must be evident to every mind. That it will subserve the purpose for which it is intended, though in a subordinate degree, he has every reason to believe. This Homily is one of a series translated from the Latin, and modified to suit the Anglican Church, by Abbot Ælfric, who afterwards, in A. D. 996, succeeded Sigeric as Archbishop of Canterbury. It celebrates the introduction of Christianity among our Saxon forefathers after their establishment in the Island of Great Britain, exhibiting the interesting circumstance which led to the mission, and the holy zeal and indefatigable labor with which Augustine and his coadjutors set forth the truths of the Gospel; while at the same time, it holds up to view the amiable and apostolical character of that eminent servant of Jesus Christ, and ornament of the papal chair, St. Gregory, deservedly styled "the Great."
