Bones of contention: the context of Ælfric's homily on St Vincent
Susan Irvine
The Old English account of the passion St Vincent Saragossa survives only in one late manuscript, Cambridge, University Library, Ii. 1. 33, written second half twelfth century. This manuscript contains a large proportion saints' lives by Ælfric, belonging mainly to his two series Catholic Homilies and later collection known as Lives Saints . Vincent, from its alliterative style, reveals itself also be work Ælfric. Since it was appended W.W. Skeat edition , has generally been treated part collection, although there is no evidence that Ælfric himself ever added set.
