Synopsis:

King Alfred the Great (871-99) translated Pope Gregory the Great's "Regula pastoralis as pan of his programme for the revival of learning in Vikingage England. Three of the surviving six pre-Conquest manuscripts are edited for the fast time in substantial par in this volume; the edition is accompanied by a comprehensive commentary. The introduction presents a survey of the reception and transmission of the Latin and Old English texts and examines the relationship of the Old English manuscripts. Special attention is paid to the linguistic status of Early West Saxon, which is discussed in the light of its historical and political context. A tenth-century revision of the Early West Saxon text in two of the surviving manuscripts is examined in the final chapter.
