Ælfric (?), De infantibus 1 Ælfric of Eynsham (?), De infantibus [DOE short‐title HomU51] This short, unpleasant text survives in three manuscripts. The version offered below is adapted from the only printing available, a transcription by A.S. Napier from the eleventh‐ century manuscript Oxford, Bodleian Library, Hatton 115 (“Ein altenglisches Leben des heiligen Chad,” Anglia 10 (1888): 131‐56, in an Appendix at pp. 154‐5). The attribution of the piece to Ælfric the Homilist was briefly but influentially argued by John C. Pope in his Homilies of Ælfric: A Supplementary Collection, EETS O.S. 259‐60 (London: Oxford University Press, 1967‐8), 1: 55‐6. But the evidence is entirely circumstantial. Apart from Pope’s brief discussion, there is, so far as I am aware, no body of scholarly comment on this very interesting text (though Aaron Kleist is reported to have a new edition in hand). I have expanded the abbreviations in Napier’s printed text and inserted sentence numbers where the DOE Corpus does. Some spellings have been slightly regularized and set in italics. I have also adjusted the capitalization and punctuation in a few places. – C.A.J (1) We biddaþ eow men and beodaþ on Godes naman þæt ge wislicor and wærlicor don ymbe eowre hæþenan cild þonne ge oþ 1 þis dydon, þæt swa fela sawla Gode ne losien swa swa her doþ betweox eow. (2) Nu bidde we eow on Godes naman þæt ge eowre cild læten fullian swa hraðe swa hi acennede beoð, for þan þe þu nast his lif gewis oð mergen. 2 (3) And þu dest þinum cilde mycelne hearm gif þu him þurh þine gymeleaste heofonan rices myrhþe benimst and hit besencst on hellegrund mid eallum deoflum on ecnysse. (4) Þu miht þine gymeleaste wið god gebetan ac þam cilde ne becymð 3 næfre into heofonan rice becuman. (5) Nu cweðe 4 sum man þæt he wile cepan him godra freonda mid his cilde and abit 5 þæs hwilum to lange for þan þe us segð þæt halige godspell þæt Godes grama wunað ofer þone hæþenan and betere bið þam hæþenan cilde þæt hit nime an ælmesman þonne hit næbbe þa ecan myrhðe and hæbbe þa ecan witu. 1 “oþ”: MS of, which the DOE Corpus leaves unemended. 2 “gewis oð mergen”: Cf. Ælfric, Catholic Homilies I, 24 (377.197): “Behreowsiendum mannum he miltsað: ac he ne behet þam ælcygendum gewis lif oð merigen.” 3 “ac þam cilde ne becymð”: impersonal construction, translatable as “but it will not happen that the child”; the closely following repetition of becuman as the complementary infinitive must have a different sense “reach, arrive at.” 4 “cweðe” 3 sg. pres. subj. The manuscript has only the abbreviated form “cw” with a suspension mark above. The DOE editors expand “cwæð” (3 sg. pret. indic.); I expand as a potential subjunctive (after the common Latin lead‐in “Dicat quis …”). 5 “abit” = 3 sg. pres. indic. < abidan (str. 1) “to wait for” [+ gen. object]
