|ShortDescription=<p>Latin octosyllabic poem by Aldhelm, in which he describes a terrific storm that raged as he passed through Cornwall (<em>Cornubia</em>) on his way to Devon (<em>Domnonia</em>). It is addressed to a certain <em>Lector, casses catholice / atque obses anthletice</em>. The use of <em>casses</em> (helmet) and <em>obses</em> (hostage) has been interpreted as a reference to someone named Helmgisl. Lapidge suggests that Helmgisl may perhaps be identified with Hæmgisl, first abbot of Glastonbury. <br></p> | |||
