King Alfred’s West-Saxon Version of Gregory’s Pastoral Care is a book that was first published in 1871. The book is a translation of the original Latin text of Pope Gregory’s Pastoral Care, which was written in the 6th century. The translation was done by King Alfred of Wessex in the 9th century and is considered to be one of the most important works of Old English literature.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a preface written by King Alfred, in which he explains why he chose to translate the work and what he hopes to achieve by doing so. The second part is the actual translation of the Pastoral Care, which is a guide for church leaders on how to care for their congregations.The book provides a fascinating insight into the religious and cultural beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon period. It also provides a valuable resource for scholars of Old English literature, as it is one of the few surviving works from this period. The translation is written in a poetic style, which adds to its literary value.Overall, King Alfred’s West-Saxon Version of Gregory’s Pastoral Care is a significant work of literature that provides valuable insights into the religious and cultural beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon period. It is a must-read for scholars of Old English literature and anyone interested in the history of the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
