Elucidarium

Elucidarium, also called Elucidarius, is an encyclopedic work or summa on medieval Christian theology and folk belief. It was written by Honorius Augustodunensis in the late 11th century and was probably complete by 1098. Influenced by Anselm of Canterbury and John Scotus Eriugena, it was intended as a handbook for lower and less educated clergy. Valerie Flint associated its compilation with the 11th-century Reform of English monasticism.
