In his Lives of Saints, Ælfric (c. 955-c.1010) dealt with the Life of Saint Eugenia, which is one of the most popular legends of the transvestite saints in Medieval Europe. It is worth to discuss how Ælfric treats Eugenia in the story, which inevitably contains the matters of sacred and secular sexuality. For further investigation, this article provides the diplomatic text of Ælfric’s ‘Life of Saint Eugenia’ in MS Cotton Julius E. vii, British Library, and compares in detail the newly edited text with Skeat’s edition.
