Text with facing translation of two important Old English texts.
The texts edited in this volume are AElfric's vernacular versions
of two highly influential early medieval ethical treatises. The
first, De duodecim abusiuis, is his Old English version of a
seventh-century Hiberno-Latin tract dealing with the twelve abuses
of the world. The second, De octo uitiis et de duodecim abusiuis,
is a composite text; it combines a treatment of the eight vices and
the complementary eight virtues, also found as the lastpart of
AElfric's Lives of Saints XVI, with the twelve abuses. The main
source for the virtues and vices is Alcuin's ninth-century De
uirtutibus et uitiis. Both texts were composed in AElfric's
hallmark rhythmical, alliterative prose. This new edition provides,
for the first time, critical editions of both texts, with a facing
translation, presented with full apparatus; it also includes an
extensive discussion of the sources and how theyare treated. MARY
CLAYTON is Professor of Old and Middle English, University College
Dublin.
