Old English Homilies and Homiletic Treatises of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries is a scholarly work edited by Richard Morris. The book is a collection of Old English religious texts, including sermons and treatises, written between the 12th and 13th centuries. These texts were originally written in Old English, a language that is no longer commonly spoken or understood. The book provides readers with a glimpse into the religious beliefs and practices of medieval England, as well as the language and literature of the time. The texts offer insights into the religious and moral concerns of the period, as well as the ways in which these concerns were expressed and communicated to the general public. The book is aimed at scholars and students of medieval literature, history, and theology, as well as those with an interest in the English language and its development over time. It includes extensive notes and commentary by the editor, providing context and analysis for the texts. Overall, Old English Homilies and Homiletic Treatises of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the religious and cultural history of medieval England.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.
