The Blickling Homilies is the name given to a collection of anonymous homilies from Anglo-Saxon England. They are written in Old English, and were written down at some point before the end of the tenth century, making them one of the oldest collections of sermons to survive from medieval England: 'the Vercelli Book and the Blickling Homilies ... are our two principal witnesses to the state of homiletic writing in English before the work of Ælfric appeared'.〔D. G. Scragg, 'The Homilies of the Blickling Manuscript', in ''Learning and Literature in Anglo-Saxon England: Studies Presented to Peter Clemoes on the Occasion of his Sixty-Fifth Birthday'', ed. by Michael Lapidge and Helmut Gneuss (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985), pp. 299-316 (at p. 315).〕 Their name derives from Blickling Hall in Norfolk, which once housed them; the manuscript is now Princeton, Scheide Library, MS 71. ==The Homilies== The homilies in the collection deal primarily with Lent, with items for Passion Sunday, Palm Sunday and Holy Week, as well as homilies dealing with Rogation Days, Ascension Day and Pentecost. The rest of the homilies in the collection are saints’ feast days. As numbered in the first edition of the homilies, by Richard Morris, the contents are: # Incarnation of the Lord (''In Natali Domini'') # Quinquagesima/Shrove Sunday (''Dominica Prima in Quinquagesima'') # The First Sunday in Lent (''Dominica Prima in Quadragesima'') # The Third Sunday in Lent (''Dominica Tertia in Quadragesima'') # The Fifth Sunday in Lent (''Dominica V in Quadragesima'') # Palm Sunday (''Dominica VI in Quadragesima'') # Easter Day (''Dominica Pascha'') # Rogation Monday (''To Þam Forman Gangdæge''), called "Soul's Need" by Morrris # Rogation Tuesday (''To Þam Oþerum Gangdæge''), called "Christ the Golden-Blossom" by Morris # Rogation Wednesday (''To Þam Þriddan Gangdæge''), called "The End of This World is Near" by Morris # Ascension Thursday (''On Þa Halgan Þunres Dei'') # Pentecost Sunday (''Pentecostent - Spiritus Domini'') # Assumption of the Virgin Mary (''Sancta Maria Mater Domini Nostri Iesu Cristi'') # The Birth of John the Baptist (''Sancte Iohannes Baptista Spel'') # The Story of SS Peter and Paul (''Spel Be Petrus ond Paulus'').
