Beschreibung
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The work now presented to the Members of the lfric Society, the first fruit of its praiseworthy attempt to rescue from oblivion the literary remains of our forefathers, was selected for the earliest publication of the Society, on account both of its valuable matter and the beautiful medium by which it is conveyed.<br><br>Of the author of the Sermones Catholici we know nothing with certainty beyond his name, though from the words of his own preface, where he speaks of king therlred's days as past, and informs us that in those days he was only a monk and mass-priest, it follows that he was not ltric archbishop of Canterbury, who died in the year 1006, or ten years before the death of king therlred.<br><br>With better foundation we may assume him to have been ltric archbishop of York, who presided over that see from the year 1023 to 1031.
