De correctione rusticorum

The De correctione drew on De catechizandis rudibus by Augustine of Hippo It was in turn a major influence on Pirmin of Reichenau's Scarapsus, and a source for several of Ælfric of Eynsham's sermons, not least his famous De falsis diis. The text may also have been referred to directly by the writer of the Old Norse Um þat hvaðan ótrú hófsk ('how false belief began'), whose text is, however, more strongly influenced by Ælfric's De falsis diis. ==Editions and translations==
