King Alfred's Anglo-Saxon Version Of The Compendious History Of The World By 0rosius is a historical text translated by Joseph Bosworth. The book is a translation of the Latin text Historiae adversus Paganos written by Paulus Orosius, a Spanish historian, in the 5th century. The text is a comprehensive history of the world, from the creation of the world to the 5th century, and includes accounts of major events such as the fall of Rome, the spread of Christianity, and the rise of Islam. The Anglo-Saxon version of the text was commissioned by King Alfred the Great in the 9th century, and is considered an important work of Old English literature. The book includes both the original Latin text and the Anglo-Saxon translation, providing a valuable resource for scholars of medieval history and literature.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.
