cit., loc. cit. (H II, 28);
The York Breviary 1, 629-30 = PL 118, 647A-D (extracts).
Haymo’s homiliary was widespread long before the millennium. As
breviary lessons, our homilies for Sundays 8 and 9 after Trinity appear
in twelfth-century monastic breviaries, e.g. the Winchcombe breviary,
MS Laon 116, ff. 157r sqq., which embodies the use of the Norman
monasteries reformed by William of Volpiano in the eleventh century;1
and in the St. Bertin breviary, MS Saint-Omer 354, ff. 69v sqq.2
Among the English printed breviaries, the monastic breviary of Hyde
Abbey c. 1300, and the secular York breviary make extensive use of
Haymo’s homilies. They are also extensively used in the Nidaros
Breviary of 1519, though for Sundays 8 and 9 after Trinity Nidaros
follows the homiliary of Paul the Deacon.3

3 Three strips from a breviary leetionary of the late twelfth century also belong in this
group. They were used for the binding of MS AM 66 fol., sewn to the last gathering of
the manuscript. One strip contains lessons from the month of August from Prov. 25,22-
28,5; the two others contain a homily for Sunday 11 after Trinity with extracts from
Bede, In Luc. 18,10, but otherwise unidentified. A fourth, very small fragment, sewn to
the same gathering, belonged to a late-medieval antiphoner written in two columns with
only a few words visible of the first vespers gospel antiphon, Angelus Domini astitit of
the Office of St. Peter’s Chains, 1 August, [habitacujlo carceris p[ercussoque tatere]
