Description

Light bump to base of spine. Minor shelfwear. ; This edition is based on the same manuscripts as Thorpe's but the text here is improved in a number of ways; it includes the passages of Gospel translation which Thorpe omitted; it retains the manuscript punctuation, which is clear and helpful once its principles are mastered; it introduces a number of emendations based on collations of all the other manuscripts; it corrects Thorpe's errors of transcription; and an effort is made to assure that the arrangement of the homilies is closer to Aelfric's intentions. ; Early English Text Society S. S. 5; 486 pages
