Ælfric’s Catholic Homilies convey mainstream Christian thought at the turn of the millennium. The first series draws on the works of Augustine and Bede, among others, to create forty sermons for use throughout the year. This is the first complete translation of the Catholic Homilies since 1844, presented alongside the newly edited Old English text.
A contemporary edition and translation of one of the great monuments of Old English literary and religious culture.
The homilies of the monk Ælfric, written in the last decade of the tenth century, offer some of the most important prose writing in Old English. They convey mainstream Christian thought, a distillation of the spiritual inheritance of the English Church before the Norman Conquest and during a time of monastic reform. The homilies cover a broad range of topics, from biblical exegesis to saints’ lives to general Christian history, with a strong focus on the gospel reading at Mass, explained in language that laypeople could understand. Ælfric is famous for his lucid prose, which he later developed into a rhythmical and alliterative style that has often been likened to verse.
