The tenth-century text, probably of English origin, most probably compiled by Ælfric, is an ambitious compendium of grammatical lore, and it is, with the exception of Ælfric's own \u003ci\u003eGrammar\u003c\/i\u003e, arguably the most sophisticated Latin-learning text of the Anglo-Saxon age. Edited here for the first time,the \u003ci\u003eExcerptiones\u003c\/i\u003e appear with all \u003ci\u003escholia\u003c\/i\u003e, an English translation, and a full contextual introduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  DAVID W.
