- (The) Seasons for Fasting refers to an incomplete Old English homiletic poem, which deals primarily with the observance of fasts on the appropriate dates of the liturgical calendar, but which also attacks the misbehaviour of lax priests. The piece appears to have been composed by a clergyman and directed at a lay audience, addressed as folces manna in line 212, whom he perhaps believed to have been potentially misguided ( (Wikipedia, Dec 19, 2013:) )
- The old English poem Seasons for fasting, 2014:ECIP introduction (Seasons for Fasting is a stanzaic poem composed in Old English probably in the early eleventh century by an anonymous poet. Its language, style, metrics, and sources place Seasons for Fasting in the company of late Old English ecclesiastical poetry and prose, especially poetry translated from the Latin, such as Creed and Judgment Day II. As implied by its modern title, the first topic of the poem is the dating of the four seasonal fasts known as Ember fasts, or Ember days)
