Summary
In his Colloquy, Ælfric of Eynsham (d. c. 1010) has the boys of his monastery pretend to be laborers, tradesmen, and professionals so that they may learn the Latin vocabulary for the characteristic tasks and implements of each kind of work. The ploughman tends his oxen, the hunter his hounds and nets. The monk’s occupation is the liturgy, the “work of God” (opus Dei, RB 43.3), before which nothing is to be preferred
