===Poetry=== *'''''Carmen de virginitate''''' (the poetic ''De Virginitate''). Aldhelm wrote a shorter, poetic version of ''De Laude Virginitatis'', which closes with a battle of the virtues against the vices, the ''De octo principalibus vitiis'' (first printed by Delrio, Mainz, 1601). The two works are what is sometimes called an ''opus geminatum'' or "twin work". *'''''Carmen Rhythmicum''''', rhythmic poem which describes a travel through western England and the way a wooden church was affected by a storm. *'''''Carmina ecclesiastica''''' (modern title), i.e. a number of Latin ''tituli'' designed for inscription on a church or altar. They are: (1) ''In Basilica Sanctorum Petri et Pauli'', for a church dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, possibly the church which Aldhelm founded at Malmesbury, (2) ''In Basilica Beatae Mariae Semper Virginis'', St Mary's Church, possibly also at Malmesbury, (3) ''In Ecclesia Mariae a Bugge Extructa'', for the church built by Bugga, that is [[Edburga of Minster-in-Thanet|Eadburh of Minster-in-Thanet]], a royal lady of the house of Wessex, (4) the twelve ''tituli'' known collectively as ''In Duodecim Apostolorum Aris'' and (5) ''In sancti Matthiae Apostoli Ecclesia''. *'''''Aenigmata''''', one hundred riddles included in the ''[[Epistola ad Acircium]]''.
