The History Of The Lauderdale Manuscript Of King Alfred�������s Anglo-Saxon Version Of Orosius is a book written by Joseph Bosworth and first published in 1858. The book provides a detailed account of the history and origins of the Lauderdale Manuscript, which is a copy of King Alfred's Anglo-Saxon version of Orosius. Orosius was a fifth-century historian who wrote a history of the world, and King Alfred translated his work into Anglo-Saxon in the ninth century. The Lauderdale Manuscript is one of the most important surviving copies of King Alfred's translation, and Bosworth's book provides a comprehensive analysis of the manuscript's history, including its provenance, ownership, and physical characteristics. The book also includes a detailed description of the manuscript's contents, including its illustrations and marginalia.Bosworth's book is an important resource for scholars of Anglo-Saxon history and literature, as well as for anyone interested in the history of manuscript production and preservation. The book is written in English and is accessible to a general audience, although some familiarity with Anglo-Saxon history and literature may be helpful.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
