Publisher's Synopsis
The Anglo-Saxon Version of the Hexameron of St. Basil: or Be Godes Six Daga Weorcum, and the Saxon Remains of St. Basil's Admonitio ad Filium Spiritualem is a book written by Saint Basil and translated into Anglo-Saxon. The book contains two parts: the first part is the Hexameron, which is a theological treatise that discusses the creation of the world in six days, and the second part is the Admonitio ad Filium Spiritualem, which is a letter of spiritual advice. The translation into Anglo-Saxon was done in 1848 by a scholar named Benjamin Thorpe. The book provides insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the Anglo-Saxons, as well as the influence of Saint Basil's teachings on the Anglo-Saxon church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
