King Alfred's Anglo-Saxon Version Of The Compendious History Of The World By Orosius is a historical book edited by Joseph Bosworth. The book is a translation of the original Latin text Historiae Adversus Paganos by Paulus Orosius, a 5th-century Christian historian. The Anglo-Saxon version of the text was commissioned by King Alfred the Great in the 9th century and translated by his scholars. The book covers the history of the world from the creation to the time of the Roman Empire. It includes accounts of ancient civilizations, such as Greece and Rome, as well as early Christian history. The book is a valuable source of information for historians and scholars interested in the history of the Anglo-Saxon period and the early Christian era. The edition by Bosworth includes notes and commentary to help readers understand the text and its historical context.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
