OLD ENGLISH HOMILIES AND HOMILETIC TREATISES OF THE TWELFTH IBD

Sinopse

Old English Homilies and Homiletic Treatises of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries is a collection of religious texts from medieval England. Compiled by Richard Morris, an eminent scholar of Old English literature, the book contains a variety of sermons and homilies that were written in the 12th and 13th centuries. These texts were originally intended to be read aloud to congregations during church services, and they cover a range of topics related to Christian doctrine and morality. Some of the sermons in the collection are attributed to well-known figures such as Saint Augustine and Saint Gregory the Great, while others are anonymous. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious beliefs and practices of medieval England, and is an important resource for scholars of Old English literature and history.1868. Sawles Ward and the Wohunge of Ure Lauerd: Ureisuns of Ure Louerd and of Ure Lefdi, etc. First Series. Parts I and II. A homily is an essentially oral event, but the only evidence we have for Old English homilies is in the form of written texts. The term homily is used to refer to several different kinds of preaching texts. The need for homilies in Old English presumably arose as soon as the Christian Church wanted to convert, exhort and instruct Anglo-Saxon people in their own language. This volume does not consist of a continuous series of Homilies, but instead is a compilation of fragments and smaller treatises arranged in the order in which the editor came across them.
