It presents eighteen homilies, preserved in a manuscript written around the year 1000, that reflect an English religious culture that predates the Benedictine reform movement. The anonymous homilists explain major events in salvation history, describe the lives of saints, provide moral admonition, and look ahead to the end of the world and the Day of Judgment. Each prescribed for a particular day in the liturgical year, the texts vary widely in their contents--from exegesis of scripture derived from patristic authors to lengthy narratives drawn from early Christian hagiography and apocrypha. This edition, with a newly edited Old English text and fresh translation, includes ten homilies unique to the Blickling manuscript as well as three others that are not found whole in any other source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Getz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067430621X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674306219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Robert Getz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447347851519,"sku":"9780674306219","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0feb63cf-ee9e-4cec-b80d-a5a4058873bc.jpg?v=1777230500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-blickling-homilies-robert-getz-9780674306219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
