- catalog abstract ""The monk Ælfric Bata is the only identifiable graduate of the school of Ælfric 'Grammaticus', the tenth-century Anglo-Saxon homilist whose Grammar, Glossary and Colloquy formed part of an educational plan for English boys. Bata's Colloquies, Latin conversations set in a monastic school, open a door into the world of Anglo-Saxon monasticism, revealing the details of daily activities: rising and dressing, studying the day's lesson, eating, bathing and tonsuring. Oblates ask a master's help in reading, bargain for a manuscript-copying job, obtain help in sharpening a pen. One colloquy depicts a flyting between master and student, who exchange graphic scatological insults. Combining the spare diction of his teacher Ælfric with the ornate glossematic vocabulary of Aldhelm, Ælfric Bata creates a cloistered world where comedy, invective, sermon and poetic recitation mix. The Colloquies are presented with an English translation, glosses and full notes."--Publisher's description.".
