The tenth-century text, probably of English origin, most probably compiled by  lfric, is an ambitious compendium of grammatical lore, and it is, with the exception of  lfric's own Grammar, arguably the most sophisticated Latin-learning text of the Anglo-Saxon age. Edited here for the first time, the Excerptiones appear with all scholia, an English translation, and a full contextual introduction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e DAVID W.
