Ælfric's Homilies on Esther, Judith, and the Maccabees
Old English literature
Zip file of S. D. Lee's editions of Ælfric's Homilies on Esther, Judith, and the Maccabees. These were originally my PhD thesis (King's College London, 1992) then mounted as online versions in 1997 and 1999. This is a compressed .zip file containing all the web pages and PDF documents of the site.
The homilies are, in effect, Ælfric's translations/paraphrases of the three Old Testament books. The editions contain introductory essays, explanatory notes, source tables, and glossaries.
