Why this is in the register

Five of Hrabanus' sermons were translated by George E. McCracken in Early Medieval Theology, The Library of Christian Classics 9 (Westminster Press, 1957), where the HOLLIS contents note lists 'Five sermons / Rabanus Maurus of Mainz'. HOLLIS otherwise holds the homiliary only in Latin, within Migne PL 110 and the 1864-1878 opera omnia. Searches of the English-language Rabanus records and of Corpus Christianorum in Translation return no other translated homilies, so the collection as a whole remains untranslated.

The homiliary that carried patristic preaching into the Carolingian liturgy, arranged for the church year and heavily drawn on by later medieval preachers. Five homilies in English give a sample of the method; the lectionary cycle they serve cannot be followed in English.
