About the author

Aelfric, noted Anglo-Saxon abbot, known as "Grammaticus" (955?-1020?), authored works, such as Catholic Homilies and Lives of the Saints , in Old English as well as a Latin grammar.

Ælfric of Eynsham well wrote consummately and prolifically as hagiographer, biblical commentator, and writer of other genres. Peter Hunter Blair viewed this "man comparable both in the quantity of his writings and in the quality of his mind even with [authore:Bede] himself." According to Claudio Leonardi, he "represented the highest pinnacle of Benedictine reform and Anglo-Saxon literature."
