The Anglo-Saxon scholar Ælfric composed an important set of Latin liturgical instructions for his fellow monks. This 1999 book contains an edition of the Latin text with a critical apparatus, and a complete English translation, along with a commentary and substantial introductory chapters.
Though best known today for his Old English homilies, the Anglo-Saxon scholar AElfric also composed a Latin 'letter' to his fellow monks at Eynsham (Oxfordshire) containing a detailed outline of their daily and seasonal round of prayer and other duties. The document offers a rare glimpse of what ordinary monks in Anglo-Saxon England were expected to know and do. This 1999 book contains an edition of the Latin letters a textual commentary, and a complete English translation of the work. Dr Jones also provides substantial introductory chapters which establish the exceptional importance of the Eynsham letter for our understanding of late Anglo-Saxon monasticism and liturgy. The book will interest students of early medieval culture, monasticism and Church history.
