8 The lists below were compiled with the help of various scholars who generously offered their expertise and knowledge. C. L. Smetana allowed me to see his present list of the versions of Paul the Deacon's homiliary and noted the manuscripts of the sermon A ii, v, viii, ix. Bernhard Bischoff commented on manuscript dates as indicated below and noted the manuscripts A i, B iii, v. Dom R. Weber also provided references to A i, B v, as well as to A iv, B i, ii, iv, vi, vii, viii, ix, x, xi, xii. I had seen the reference to A iv in the discussion of J. Winandy (see The Date and the Author of the Sermon, below), and by identifying our sermon in M. P. Cunningham's discussion of the Newberry Library Homiliarium in Sacris Erudiri 7 (1955), there unidentified, I was led by his notes to A vii, and later to A vi.Google Scholar

9 Now in Munich, Staatsbibliothek. Bischoff, Bernhard, Dis südostdeutschen Schreibschulen und Bibliotheken in der Karolingerzeit, Teil I: Die bayerischen Diözesen (Wiesbaden 1960) 112, 116, comments on aspects of the manuscript, but in a generously detailed letter commenting on the Newberry Homiliarium below, he noted that this section of the manuscript was written in Freising in the second quarter of the ninth century.Google Scholar

10 Now in the Badische Landesbibliothek, Karlsruhe. Dr. Gerhard Stamm of the Library, who commented on some features of the manuscript, gave me Bernhard Bischoff's oral opinion that the manuscript is early tenth century. Engelmann, Ursmar, Reichenauer Buchmalerei: Initialen aus einem Lektionar des frühen 10. Jahrhunderts (Freiburg 1971), considers this manuscript and notes, p. 26, that the section fols. 9^r–276^v is in a hand of the first half of the tenth century.Google Scholar

11 Cunningham's, M. P. dating, 267, as ‘early ninth century’ is now outdated by a discussion (with detailed reasoning) by Bernhard Bischoff in a letter of May 10, 1974. He concludes that the manuscript is from Southern France, of the second half of the tenth century; the five hands, A–E (see Cunningham), were working at the same time; corrections are from the twelfth century.Google Scholar

71 As Miss Sisam notes, 213, the martyrology ‘in its English form was copied as late as the eleventh century with hardly any adaptation to changed conditions.’ Certainly there is only one change by one manuscript which could at all be regarded as an ‘updating’. This is the erroneous information in MS BM Cotton Julius A x (c. a.d. 1000) that half of Aidan's (August 31st) bones were in Glastonbury. The other text, MS Corpus Christi College Cambridge 196 (c. a.d. 1050) correctly records that they were in St. Cuthbert's minster, i.e. Lindisfarne. The differences between these two main manuscripts are, apart from this, only individual words by substitution or error, in word-order, and by omission. Since in Miss Sisam's stemma (212) these two manuscripts are not closely related, and since no more kinds of difference occur when the two more fragmentary manuscripts are compared (MSS BM Addit. 23211, late ninth century, and BM Addit. 40165A, late ninth century), we may reasonably assume that the extant text fairly represents the content of the original.Google Scholar
