Based on the Latin Admonitio ad filium spiritualem, a popular pseudo-Basilian doctrinal manual dating to the sixth century, the Admonition offers guidance on general Christian principles, with a distinctive monastic focus. It addresses a range of virtues and vices and stresses the importance of the Great Commandment, of chastity and the dangers of worldly greed. \u003cbr\u003eThe freshly-edited original is presented here alongside a facing modern translation into modern English, and accompanied by comprehensive historical, palaeographical, literary and linguistic contextualisation. It includes in-depth analyses of the history of the single surviving manuscript, the dissemination of the Latin source text, the potential audiences of the Admonition and  lfric's unique translation style. The volume also contains a commentary, a glossary and further resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristina Kähm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843847973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843847977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell \u0026amp; Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kristina Kähm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623613968639,"sku":"9781843847977","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zlfrics-old-english-admonition-to-kristina-kzohm-9781843847977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
