Description

  • Summary: CCCC MS 302 is an important collection of Old English homilies, mostly by Ælfric of Eynsham (c. 950-c. 1010). It was written in the early twelfth century, probably in south-east England. It contains late Old English spellings, and is an important witness to the use made of the Anglo-Saxon homiletic tradition after the Norman Conquest. It was Parker's fifth volume of homilies in his numeration system.
