It is red-letter day in Anglo-Saxon studies when a previously
unknown Old English text comes to light. In 2002, as the result of
some outstanding scholarly detective work, a fragmentary homiliary,
containing exegetical homilies for the Sundays after Pentecost,
came to light in the Somerset County Records Office in Taunton. The
manuscript apparently dates from the middle years of the eleventh
century; but questions of when and where and by whom the homiliary
was composed can only be answered by close philological study of
the Old English text itself. The present volume of Anglo-Saxon
England contains a printed edition of this interesting text, and
detailed philological analysis leads to the extraordinary
hypothesis that the text may have been composed by someone whose
native language was not English, and who was apparently unfamiliar
with the mainstream of English homiletic composition, best
illustrated in the work of AElfric. The usual comprehensive
bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of
Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book.
