Homilies of Paul the Deacon

Homilies of Paul the Deacon

Durham Cathedral Library MS A.III.29

An English manuscript produced just after the Norman Conquest (probably at Winchester), containing part of an annual cycle of sermons to be preached on the feast days of the church. The first homily would have marked the feast of St Praxedis (21 July), although here it is no more than a note referring you to the entry for St Potentianae before the text moves on to St James the Greater, whose feast was celebrated on 26 July.
