	§4. The Works of Aelfric. VII. From Alfred to the Conquest. Vol. 1. From the Beginnings to the Cycles of Romance. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		But all these are treated very freely, and, although Aelfric was often hampered by the inadequacy of the language to express abstract ideas, his skill as a teacher is especially visible in the lucidity with which he explains the mysteries of their religion to his ignorant audience.
		Aelfric’s imagination is better seen in the tender and pathetic passages describing the slaughter of the Innocents or the solitary sojourn of St. Cuthbert on the island of Lindisfarne.
		Aelfric is nowhere stated to be the author, but the similarity of the translation to his acknowledged work in style, structure and rhythm enables us to ascribe it to him with some confidence.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aelfric, Abbot of Eynsham
		Already in the reign of Queen Elizabeth it was asserted by Mathew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, that Aelfric in his Homily for Easter Day clearly evinced his belief is Transubstantiation, and that he must, moreover, be regarded as expressing the sentiments of the whole Anglo-Saxon church, of which he was a prominent and trusted representative.
		Aelfric never intended to attack the doctrine of the Real Presence.
		Aelfric's numerous works in Anglo-Saxon, which give evidence of much literary power, have been edited with translations; the former in 1846, by Thorpe; the latter in 1906, by Skeat.

	Invasion One: In the service of Aelfric

		Aelfric looks at his gathered people in the hall, most of the men look angered and many of the women are scared and angered.

	Aelfric the Mad Monk (Werewolf foe)
		Aelfric's physical body was frail and weak, and he described his legs as crippled--he could walk on them, but could not move very quickly.
		However, Aelfric could not be killed by such means, and he rose to his feet and obliterated the soldier with a burst of magical force.
		Aelfric's original tale made it appear as if Aelfric himself were the author of the Book of Sins, though it was just a bunch of scrolls back in the 12th Century.

	EBK: St. Aelfric, Archbishop of Canterbury
		Aelfric was the son of an Ealdorman of Kent who rose through the administrative ranks of the Anglo-Saxon court, to become Chancellor to King Aethelred the Unready, before taking monastic vows at Abingdon Abbey in the middle years of his life.
		Aelfric is said to have been consecrated in AD 996, the year after his election to Canterbury and thus probably refering to the gift of the pall.
		Aelfric died in November 1005 and was buried in Abingdon Abbey; although, in the reign of King Canute, his body was translated to Canterbury.

	AEFRIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		AElfric no doubt gained some reputation as a scholar at Winchester, for when, in 987, the abbey of Cernel (Cerne Abbas, Dorsetshire) was finished, he was sent by Bishop AElfheah (Alphege), AEthelwold's successor, at the request of the chief benefactor of the abbey, the ealdorman AEthelmaer, to teach the Benedictine monks there.
		The Latin preface to the first series enumerates some of AElfric's authorities, the chief of whom was Gregory the Great, but the short hst there given by no means exhausts the authors whom he consulted.
		The identity of AElfric the grammarian with AElfric archbishop of York was also discussed by Henry Wharton, in Anglia Sacra (1691, vol.

	Art Bulletin, The: A 'secret and feverish genesis': the prefaces of the Old English Hexateuch
		Because of the importance of the Old Testament, AElfric's discussion of the dangers of translation in the "Preface to Genesis" is "a famous crux in AElfric scholarship," as Jonathan Wilcox notes.
		Although "solved by scholars of different generations in characteristically different ways, from inferring AElfric's personal character to examining the rhetoric of the statements,"78 all modern studies of the preface operate under the assumption that it is AElfric's motivations that we should be considering.
		For example, the first sentence of the "Preface to Genesis" ("AElfric the monk greets AEthelweard the ealdorman respectfully")(87) duplicates the epistolary formula in which the name of the writer of the letter appears first, followed by the name of the recipient, while the verb is conjugated in the third person singular.

	The Study of Latin and English at Winchester
		Aelfric used, in fact, a standardized vocabulary, which was influenced by the English of Winchester, throughout his writing, and he furthered his desire to offer English to non-Latinists by writing his extremely popular grammar, which was intended as a didactic text for both Latin and English.
		3 Aelfric maintained his own bilingual approach as a result of his concern for facilitating comprehension of the complex Latin grammatical system, so that he translated the Latin passages of his grammar in to English and at times even wrote an explanation to a grammatical point only in English.
		It is evident, then, that Aelfric’s main purpose in writing his grammar was to prepare his students for further, more complicated, study of Latin, but, by explaining Latin in English, he influenced the expanding role of the latter language in future grammatical study (Gneuss, Study 14).

	The Lives of Ss. Edmund and Fremund: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Aelfric opens with an account of how Abbo, whose Latin text he is following, learned the story from Dunstan, who had heard the story from Edmund's armour-bearer on the day of Edmund's death.
		Abbo of Fleury's "Passio sancti Edmundi" is the earliest account of Edmund's martyrdom, and Aelfric's account follows Abbo's closely, though Aelfric omits Abbo's account of Edmund's ancestry and his election to the kingdom.
		After the building of the new church to house the relics, a devout widow lived alongside the shrine for many years, and she took responsibility to trim Edmund's hair and clip his nails, and the trimmings and clippings were treated as new relics.

	Medieval Church.org.uk: Aelfric (c.955-1020) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		AELFRIC is the name of two prominent prelates in the Anglo - Saxon Church, - one, Archbishop of Canterbury, 996-1006; time other, Archbishop ct York, 1023-1031, - but whether the learned Benedictine AElfric (grammaticus) is identical with one of these archbishops, or not, is a question as yet unsolved.
		As Alfred was the founder, so AElfric was the model, of the Saxon prose.
		He wrote a Saxon grammar and glossary; and he translated into Saxon a number of homilies, the Heptateuch, etc. But of his personal life nothing is known but a few notices scattered about in his works.

		…Aelfric became abbot of a new monastery at Eynsham, where during his remaining years he continued to revise and expand his cycles of homilies and to write supplementary works of instruction and edification, including letters to Wulfstan, Archbishop of York, himself a noted vernacular homilist.
		Further Reading The most comprehensive accounts of Aelfric's life, writings, and chronology are the two chapters by Peter Clemoes in Peter Clemoes, ed., The Anglo-Saxons (1959), and in Eric G. Stanley, ed., Continuations and Beginnings: Studies in Old English Literature (1966).

	Aelfric's Pallium/Gregory V's Exile in Pavia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		I'm not holding out much hope of a specific response, but I would be elated if someone could just point me in the right direction, as all my attempts at researching the matter have proved futile.
		My problem: in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, under the year 997, it is stated that Aelfric, Archbishop of Canterbury (not to be confused with the more famous homonymous homilist) went to Rome to receive his pallium from the pope, and to receive the pontiff's blessing in his efforts to reform English monasteries dominated by lay canons.
		It doesn't seem likely that Aelfric would have been invested by an antipope, so the only logical conclusion is that he went to Pavia, not Rome.
