Synopsis

The Proverbs of Alfred is a book written by Walter W. Skeat that contains a collection of proverbs attributed to King Alfred the Great, who ruled England in the 9th century. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides a historical and literary background to the proverbs, while the second part presents the proverbs themselves, along with their translations and explanations. The proverbs cover a wide range of topics, including wisdom, morality, religion, politics, and everyday life. Some of the proverbs are well-known, while others are more obscure, but all of them provide insight into the worldview of one of England's greatest kings. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval literature, history, and culture, as well as for anyone interested in the wisdom of the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
