About “The Old Norse Elucidarius”
Elucidarium is an encyclopedic work on medieval Christian theology and folk belief, written by Honorius Augustodunensis in the late 11th century. It was likely completed by 1098, as it references works by Anselm of Canterbury, including Cur deus homo. The text was intended as a guide for less educated clergy. Scholars suggest it was the earliest work by Honorius, written when he was young. The work reflects the influence of Anselm and John Scotus Eriugena. Valerie Flint links its creation to the 11th-century reform of English monasticism. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
