The Old Icelandic Homily Book (Stock. Perg. 4to no. 15), also known as the Stockholm Homily Book, is one of two main collections of Old West Norse sermons; the other being the Old Norwegian Homily Book (AM 619 4to), with which it shares eleven texts.[1] Written in around 1200, and both based on earlier exemplars, together they represent some of the oldest examples of Old West Norse prose.[1]
The Old Icelandic Homily Book (OIHB) contains 62 texts and parts of texts,[2] 50 of which are homilies.[3] For this reason it is better considered a homiletic hand-book rather than a homiliary.[1] Further, the ‘homilies’ it contains, as with most Old Norse homilies, conform more closely to the definition of sermons.[3] The other texts are wide-ranging and include excerpts from Stephanus saga, a translation of part of pseudo-Ambrose’s Acta Sancti Sebastiani,[1] and a fragment of a text dealing with musical theory, amongst others.[2]
