Abstract
The language of Genesis is simple, says Ælfric in his preface to his translation of it, but its meaning is complex. Exactly the same is true of his preface—which therefore calls out for detailed interpretation, just as, in his view, does this book of the Bible. The commentary given here attempts to clarify these difficulties. The text, translation, sources and analogues (with translation) and parallel passages are given as aids to this end. Finally, the text is given again with the sources, analogues and parallel passages displayed.
