Homilies_d'Organyà
The Homilies d'Organyà (Catalan pronunciation: [umiˈli.əz ðuɾɡəˈɲa]) constitute one of the oldest known literary documents (longer than a mere fragment) in the Catalan language. It is known for the antiquity of its language, between vulgar Latin and Catalan. Older texts in Catalan include a fragment of the Forum iudicum, the feudal oath of 1098, and the Greuges de Guitard Isarn of 1080–1091, also of Organyà origin,[1] as well as Catalan glosses in Latin documents dated to as far back as 1034.
The Homilies d'Organyà were discovered in the vicarage of Organyà in 1904 by Dr. Joaquim Miret i Sans, a historian and lawyer. It is dated to the end of the 12th century[2] and is composed of six sermons that include commentaries on various gospels and epistles.
The original is kept in the National Library of Catalonia, and a reproduction is also displayed in Organyà.
