The Letter to Sigeweard, also known Libellus de Veteri Testamento et Novo ('A short book on the Old and New Testament'), by Ælfric of Eynsham (d. c. 1010), is, in the words of Hugh Magennis, 'the earliest extended discussion of the Bible, considered as a whole, in a western vernacular language and is one of the major discussions of the Bible in medieval English'.[1]
