Saint Hyglac
Hyglac was an eighth century Catholic saint from Anglo-Saxon England. Very little is known of the life of this saint and he is known to history through the hagiography of the Secgan Manuscript. However, he is best known through a letter from an anchorite Alchfrid (also known as Alcheriðus). In the letter, Hyglac is a ''lector'' of an unknown monastery in Northumbria (possibly York). The letter, an exhortation to live a Godly Life, appears to be text borrowed from the different sermons of various priests. It is preserved in a collection of letters of Alcuin. Hyglac was possibly a teacher of Aediluulf, and was possibly a student of Alcuin. His name derives from the Old German word for ''Courage'' and the archaic suffix, -lac meaning ''to carry on an action'', indicates he was Anglo Saxon The Anglo-Saxons, in some contexts simply called Saxons or the English, were a cultural group who spoke Old English and inhabited much of what is now England and south-eastern Scotland ...

Sermon
A sermon is a religious discourse or oration by a preacher, usually a member of clergy. Sermons address a scriptural, theological, or moral topic, usually expounding on a type of belief, law, or behavior within both past and present contexts. Elements of the sermon often include exposition, exhortation, and practical application. The act of delivering a sermon is called preaching. In secular usage, the word ''sermon'' may refer, often disparagingly, to a lecture on morals. In Christian practice, a sermon is usually preached to a congregation in a place of worship, either from an elevated architectural feature, known as a pulpit or an ambo, or from behind a lectern. The word ''sermon'' comes from a Middle English word which was derived from Old French, which in turn originates from the Latin word meaning 'discourse.' A ''sermonette'' is a short sermon (usually associated with television broadcasting, as stations would present a sermonette before Sign-off (broadcast) ...

Anglo Saxon
The Anglo-Saxons, in some contexts simply called Saxons or the English, were a cultural group who spoke Old English and inhabited much of what is now England and south-eastern Scotland in the Early Middle Ages. They traced their origins to Germanic settlers who became one of the most important cultural groups in Britain by the 5th century. The Anglo-Saxon period in Britain is considered to have started by about 450 and ended in 1066, with the Norman Conquest. Although the details of their early settlement and political development are not clear, by the 8th century an Anglo-Saxon cultural identity which was generally called had developed out of the interaction of these settlers with the existing Romano-British culture. By 1066, most of the people of what is now England spoke Old English, and were considered English. Viking and Norman invasions changed the politics and culture of England significantly, but the overarching Anglo-Saxon identity evolved and remained dominant even ...

-lac
The suffix in Modern English survives only in and . It descends from Old English , which was more productive, carrying a meaning of "action or proceeding, state of being, practice, ritual". As a noun, Old English means "play, sport", deriving from an earlier meaning of "sacrificial ritual or hymn" (Proto-Germanic ). A putative term for a "hymn to the gods" () in early Germanic paganism is attested only as a personal name, Oslac.

The earliest words taking the suffix were probably related to warfare, comparable to the ( -play) suffix found in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Suffix
In linguistics, a suffix is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns and adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs. Suffixes can carry grammatical information (inflectional endings) or lexical information ( derivational/lexical suffixes)''.'' Inflection changes the grammatical properties of a word within its syntactic category. Derivational suffixes fall into two categories: class-changing derivation and class-maintaining derivation. Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, suffixes are called affirmatives, as they can alter the form of the words. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings (see Proto-Indo-European root). A word-final segment that is somewhere between a free morpheme and a bound morpheme is known as a suffixoidKremer, Marion. 1997.

Old German
Old High German (OHG; ) is the earliest stage of the German language, conventionally identified as the period from around 500/750 to 1050. Rather than representing a single supra-regional form of German, Old High German encompasses the numerous West Germanic dialects that had undergone the set of consonantal changes called the Second Sound Shift. At the start of this period, dialect areas reflected the territories of largely independent tribal kingdoms, but by 788 the conquests of Charlemagne had brought all OHG dialect areas into a single polity. The period also saw the development of a stable linguistic border between German and Gallo-Romance, later French. Old High German largely preserved the synthetic inflectional system inherited from its ancestral Germanic forms. The eventual disruption of these patterns, which led to the more analytic grammar, are generally considered to mark the transition to Middle High German. Surviving Old High German texts were all composed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It recounts the history of his monastery (possibly at Bywell, or, less probably, Crayke, twelve miles north of York) from its foundation through its six first abbots and ending with Æthelwulf's two visions. It is addressed to the Bishop of Lindisfarne, Ecgberht, and dates to between 803 and 821. The poem exists in three manuscripts: *''L'': British Library, Cotton MS Tiberius D IV, Part 2, ff. 158v-166r; originally in Winchester Cathedral I, f. 108v.
