Description:
|
Twelfth-century bifolium fragment of Pope Gregory I's (c. 540-604) Homilies on the Gospels. The Homilies were among the most widely read and venerated texts of the Middle Ages. Delivered to the people of Rome during 590 and 591, soon after Gregory's election to the papacy, these sermons on the gospel readings for Sundays and feast days represent his only surviving public liturgical preaching. The Homilies were copied many times during the Middle Ages and survive in more than 400 manuscripts. Portions of them were also taken into the liturgy as readings in the Breviary.
