''De falsis deis'', also known as "”Homily XII"” and "”On False Gods””, is one of the homilies written in the early eleventh-century by Wulfstan II, Archbishop of York and was an expansion of part of one of Ælfric of Eynsham’s homilies. Both works also drew on the writing of Martin of Braga. The sermon was written in Old English and a single manuscript copy survives in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, in the homiliary, or collection of sermons MS Hatton 113.〔(Marsden, 23 ), article on the homily〕 == The Text ==
''De falsis deis,'' also known as ''Homily XII'' and On False Gods, is one of the homilies written by Wulfstan II, Archbishop of York and was an expansion of part of one of Ælfric’s homilies. Both works also drew on the earlier writing of Martin of Braga; all three served to condemn the heathen practices that had survived into Christian times.〔Marsden 203〕 Wulfstan’s insistence on demythologizing and demonizing heathen gods was not an original idea, but he, and the Church, found that the continuation of pagan beliefs and practices was a pressing issue, even for several centuries to follow. What made Wulfstan’s approach unique was his calculated use of poetic devices and rhetorical style. This not only lead to the widespread dissemination of his manuscripts during his own lifetime, but his words and style were utilized and imitated for years afterwards, making him a significant figure in the study of Anglo-Saxon times.
