Wulfstan of York

uere postquam pagani deuastauerunt … captiuum in babiloniam

98.5-11

Abbo of Saint-Germain-des-Prés

115-21

and æt nyhstan … heora feonda gewealde

Önnerfors 1985

Manuscript:: Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Gl. Kgl. Sam. 1595, 35r-37r (Worcester, s.xi/1). Cambridge, Corpus Christi College 190, part A (s.xi[1], prov. Exeter), headed 'De captiuitate Iudeorum' (p.139).
Comment:: Abbo's sermon appears in full in one of the Wulfstan 'Commonplace Book' manuscripts, Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Gl. Kgl. Sam. 1595, 35r-37r. Lines 115-21 are closer to an excerpt in another Wulfstan 'Commonplace Book' manuscript, Cambridge, Corpus Christi College 190, part A, 'De captiuitate Iudeorum' (p.139).

an þeodwita wæs … lyðre yrhðe godes bydela

Manuscript:: London, British Library, Cotton Vespasian A. xiv, fols. 114-79 (?York, s.xi\1)
Comment:: The source is among the collection of Alcuin letters included in a Wulfstan 'Commonplace Book' manuscript, London, British Library, Cotton Vespasian A. 14. Cross and Brown 1989, 290 n.25, point out that the extract from this letter which appears in another manuscript could equally well have been the source for lines 176-86.
