  • Résumé : CCCC MS 302 is an important collection of Old English homilies, mostly by Ælfric of Eynsham (c. 950-c. 1010). It was written in the early twelfth century, probably in south-east England. It contains late Old English spellings, and is an important witness to the use made of the Anglo-Saxon homiletic tradition after the Norman Conquest. It was Parker's fifth volume of homilies in his numeration system.

Data Source: Parker on the Web

  • Research: T. James' entry is 275 Homiliae 52. Saxonice which is incorrect so far as this book is concerned: but no other identification seems possible. K.-A. Rand has identified, following R. Page's note, that M. R. James has confused T. James 272 for 275. The 52 A-S. Homilies (T. James 275) are in MS 162
  • Research: This is MS. E in Skeat's Aelfric's Lives of Saints (see II, p.xiv). He uses it for the Homilies on Ash Wednesday and on Auguries. Napier uses it for no. XLIX in his Homilies of Wulfstan, calling it D.
