Aelfricb. circa 995; d. circa 1022British prelate and writer. He has been confused with Aelfric, Archbishop of Canterbury from 955 to 1005, and with Aelfric, Archbishop of York, but it is certain that he was a pupil of Aethelwold, and most probably that he was an abbot at Winchester. He afterwards became abbot of Cerne and of Eynsham; but he is most celebrated for his two books of Homilies. These are a good illustration of the doctrine of the early English Church. Among his other works are A Latin and English Grammar and Glossary (from which he is called Grammaticus), first printed by Somner in 1659, and Colloquium.
