Homiliare or Homiliarius is a term applied to a collection containing such homilies of the early fathers of the Church as vrere read on Sunday, on the festal days of the saints, on Easter, and Pentecost. See Du- randi, Rationcde, bk. vi, ch. i ; Fuhrmann, Handworter- buch der Kirchengeschichie, ii, 337.
Homiliariuni, the name given to collections of sermons for the ecclesiastical year, to be read in case of incapacity preventing the preacher from delivering a sermon of his own. The idea of such a collection arose in the early part of the ^liddle Ages. The most cele- brated work of the kind, which took the place of all eceding ones, is that known as Charlemagne's Homil- xrium (see Neander, Church Hist, iii, 174). The title of the Cologne edition, 1530, sets forth Alcuin as its au- thor {Homili(B seu mavis sermones sive condones adpopu- lum, prcestardissimorum ecclesim doctorum, Hieronymi, Augustini, Ambrosii, Gregorii, Origenis, Chrysosiomi, BedcE, etc., in hunc ordinem digest ce per Alchuinum Levi- tam, idque injungente ei Carolo M. Rom. Imp. cui a se- cretis fuit). According to other accounts, however — — and even to the instruction bj' Charlemagne himself
which accompanies the work — Charlemagne had caused this work to be done by Paulus Diaconus because (see Ranke in the Stud. u. Krit. 1855, ii, 387 sq.) " the Hours contained a number of fragments from the fathers used for reading which were full of faults and badly selected." But it is possible that both had a part in it, AJcuin form- ing the plan and Paulus Diaconus executing it. The work acquired great importance from the fact that it established more firmly the system of Church lessons introduced by Jerome, which liad heretofore been sub- ject to various alterations. See Herzog, Real-Ency- klop. vi, 249 sq. ; Rlieinwald, Kirchl. Archdol. p. 276; Siegel, Handb. d. christl.-kirchl. Alterth. ii, 331; Nean- der, Ch. History, iii, 126; Mosheim, Ch. Hist, ii, 35; and the art. Homily.

Homilists. Among the homilists who have dis- tinguished themselves in the primitive Church, Origen (3d century) ranks first. The schools of Alexandria and Antioch appear to have been the great centres of this class of sacred literature, and in the early centuries we find the names of Hippolytus, ^Metrodorus, Clonient of Alexandria, and Gregory Thaumaturgus princifially distinguished. But it was in the following centuries that the homily received its full development in the hands of the early Greek fathers Ephraim the Syrian, Athanasius, the two Gregories of Nazianzum and of Nyssa, Basil the Great, Chrysostom, the two Cyrils of Alexandria and of Jerusalem, and Theodoret ; in the Latin Church, Cyprian, Ambrose, Augustine, Leo the Great, Gregory the Great, Peter Chrj'soiogus, Fulgen- tius, and Cajsar of Aries. In later centuries. Venerable Bede, the popes Sabinian, Leo II and III, Adrian I, and the Spanish bishops Isidore of Seville and Ildefonsus, continued to use the homiletic form. — Chambers, Cy- clop, v, 399.
