Ælfric Online seeks to continue Ælfric’s mission of making doctrine and scripture accessible to a wider audience. The last complete translation of these homilies was Benjamin Thorpe’s in 1844 (first series; second series), and the language throughout is often contorted. Other Old English scholars have translated parts or all of certain homilies (notably Eleanor Parker’s blog A Clerk of Oxford), but the full collection is not available in a modern translation. While the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library is in the process of translating both series of texts, and the work is sure to be excellent, the price tag may be a barrier. Ælfric Online, then, aims to fill this gap.
This project is in the process of being migrated and will be made available soon.
