Old English Homilies and Homiletic Treatises of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries : Kessinger Publishing : 9781417949724 : 1417949724 : 20 Sep 2004 : Old English Homilies and Homiletic Treatises of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries is a collection of religious texts from medieval England. Compiled by Richard Morris, an eminent scholar of Old English literature, the book contains a variety of sermons and homilies that were written in the 12th and 13th centuries. These texts were originally intended to be read aloud to congregations during church services, and they cover a range of topics related to Christian doctrine and morality. Some of the sermons in the collection are attributed to well-known figures such as Saint Augustine and Saint Gregory the Great, while others are anonymous. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious beliefs and practices of medieval England, and is an important resource for scholars of Old English literature and history.1868. Sawles Ward
