Volume XIII: Ælfric’s First Series of Catholic Homilies

The first series of CATHOLIC HOMILIES was Ælfric’s first published work. Of the four surviving manuscripts of the series as a whole the Royal manuscript is both the earliest and the one closest to Ælfric. It shows an earlier state of the text than any other that has survived, probably the text as it was before it was put into general circulation, and the many alternations and corrections which it contains bear witness to the thorough-going authorial revision which the homilies underwent at this early stage. Above all, some notes and alterations are entered in Ælfric’s own hand.
