The Aelfric Society (Ælfric Society) was a text publication society founded in London (England), during 1842–1856,〔"Aelfric Society", Probert Encyclopedia, 2010, web: (PE-Aelfric ).〕 which published the Homilies of Ælfric of Eynsham (perhaps Archbishop of Canterbury, during 996–1006)〔"Aelfric (c.955-1020)", Medievalchurch.org.uk, web: (MC-Aelfric ).〕 and other works by Anglo-Saxon writers. It is also known as ''Aelfric Society Publications''. The Ælfric Society was named in honor of Ælfric of Eynsham, a Benedictine monk who wrote a Saxon grammar and dictionary (glossary).〔 He had also translated a number of homilies and the Heptateuch into Old English. For the society, the Anglo-Saxon scholar Benjamin Thorpe (1782–1870) edited the homilies, during 1844–1846. Ælfric's Saxon grammar and glossary had been printed, nearly two hundred years earlier, at Oxford in 1639 and 1698.〔 ==Publications== The Aelfric Society published several works, including: : * ''The Homilies of the Anglo-Saxon Church'', containing ''Sermones Catholici or Homilies of Ælfric'' (2 volumes, 1844/1846) : * ''The Legend of Chrysanthus and Daria in Ælfric's Lives of Saints'' (1846) : * ''The Dialogue of Salomon and Saturnus'' (John M. Kemble, 1848) : * ''The Poetry of the Codex Vercellensis, with an English Translation '' (John M. Kemble, 1843, 212 pages) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aelfric Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
