Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aelfric's Anglo-Saxon Homily on the Birthday of St. Gregory: And Collateral Extracts From King Alfred's Version of Bede's Ecclesiastical History, and From the Saxon Chronicle; With a Full Rendering Into English, Notes Critical and Explanatory, and an Index of Stems and Forms
IN presenting the anglo-saxon Homily on the Birth-day of St. Gregory to the American public, the Editor deems no apology necessary, as the chief object of the publication, the advancement of the study of the language in which it appears, must be evident to every mind. That it will sub serve the purpose for which it is intended, though in a sub ordinate degree, he has every reason to believe.
