 Ælfric on Encyclopedia.com
Ælfric was also the author of a grammar, a glossary, and a colloquy, which were for many years the standard texts for Latin study in English monasteries.
Ælfric is considered the chief prose stylist of the period.
He wrote in English a series of saints' lives and homilies—designed for use as sermons by the preachers who were generally unable to read Latin.

 PROSE - LoveToKnow Article on PROSE
He had no direct followers until the time of the monastic revival, when the first name of eminence which we encounter is that of ~lfric, who, about 997, began to translate, or rather to paraphrase, certain portions of the Bible.
The prose of ~lfric, however, though extremely interesting historically, has the fault that it presents too close a resemblance, in structure and movement, to the alliterative verse of the age.
The prose of Alfred is simple, straightforward and clear, without any pretension to elegance.

 S. D. Lee 'Judith, Esther, and the Maccabees' VII:
Conversely, there is always a feeling of respect for the Latin evident in the homilies, indicating Ælfric's recognition of the importance of the material that he was dealing with (perhaps also the importance to him of being able to refer to ‘books’ as sources)( 11).
In certain instances, Ælfric can be seen to alter the order of the material as presented in the Vulgate ( 17) without changing any of the facts of the plot (with the notable, and rather curious alterations of the figures in the Maccabees, ll.
Ælfric does not alter the source material just to appear ‘different’; but instead where he feels it is necessary to further his audience's understanding.

 ENGLISH LANGUAGE - LoveToKnow Article on ENGLISH LANGUAGE
While these southern remains carry on in unbroken sequence the history of the Old English of Alfred and ~lfric, the history of the northern English is an entire blank from the 11th to the I3th century.
Although the written remains of the transition stage are few, sufficient exist to enable us to trace the course of linguistic change in some of the dialects.

 Ælfric-Preface
Ælfric goes on to describe the time of the Antichrist which is imminent.
Leaning on this authority, Ælfric continues by criticising the existing books as being false and explains the necessity of his collection as a reliable source of orthodox belief.
The urgency of such a correction of Anglo-Saxon belief is emphasised by the argument that the end of the world has arrived.

 Wormtalk and Slugspeak: 03/01/2004 - 03/31/2004
I think a short paragraph at the end of the review that says "minor errata" or just "errata" and then lists corrections and page numbers is very useful.
I'd like to see people move away from the "gotcha" and stick to the substantive criticism that should be included in a good review.
I tried to do this for my review of The Culture of Translation in Anglo-Saxon England by Robert Stanton (but I really only found one switch of Alfred for Ælfric in the entire book).

 At the Edge: The Nine Sisters and the Axis Mundi
He incorporates the paddles used to power early vertical water-mills, so that the earth and sky are augmented by the underworld, giving a tripartite division of the cosmos, in accordance with other, pagan cosmological patterns.
The imagery is extended by the English abbot lfric in his Homilies, composed in the last decade of the tenth century.
The upper stone represents the sky, which is seen as revolving about the celestial axis in the far north.

 AElfric's Letter to the Monks of Eynsham - Christopher A. Jones - Adobe Reader eBooks
Though best-known today for his Old English homilies, the Anglo-Saxon scholar ?lfric also composed a Latin 'letter' to his fellow monks at Eynsham (Oxfordshire) containing a detailed outline of their daily and seasonal round of prayer and other duties.
The document offers a rare glimpse of what ordinary monks in Anglo-Saxon England were expected to know and do.

 Australian National University EPrints2 Archive - The Syntax of Genitive Constructions in Old English: placement of genitive phrases in Ælfric’s second series of Catholic Homilies
In the present investigation, rules of placement are found to operate within a complex network of tendencies, but despite the numerous interactions in play, several distinct rules do emerge (for example, demonstrative pronouns with quantifiers are always postposed), and, beyond that, weaker tendencies are overridden in the presence of stronger ones.
It concerns placement of adnominal genitive phrases in the second series of Catholic Homilies, written by Abbot Ælfric in the West Saxon dialect during the last decade of the tenth century, and uses an electronic corpus in the search for factors promoting pre- and postnominality.

 E-Intro to Old English - 16. Reading Old English Manuscripts
Here is a passage from a manuscript of Ælfric's homilies, illustrating the punctuation used by one good scribe.
Editors have debated how heavy this editorial punctuation should be, how much it should be influenced by the punctuation of the manuscript, and whether modern punctuation is adequate for representing Old English syntax.

This kinship is more easily traceable in our registries where the usual forms are ' Ernaldus Carnifix,' or 'Peter Ernald.' Besides ' Arnold,' 'Arnison,' and the diminutive 'Arnott'or 'Arnet' 2 still live among us.
'Alberic,' or ' Albrec,' as we find it occasionally written, soon found its way into our rolls as ' Aubrey,' although, as €lfric, Miss Yonge shows it to have existed in our country centuries

The homilies were continually corrected - often by Ælfric himself - and were subject to a substantial revision by Ælfric, 'perhaps after he became abbot of Eynsham in 1005'
This homily is part of the Second Series of Ælfric's Catholic Homilies.
Malcolm Godden argues, that this series was sent to Archbishop Sigeric - to whom it both series were addressed - after completion, and dates it 995
