King Alfred's Old English Version of St. Augustine's Soliloquies is a book that was first published in 1902 by Henry Lee Hargrove. The book is a translation of the Soliloquies of St. Augustine, which is a work of Christian philosophy and theology written in Latin by the fourth-century theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo. This particular version of the Soliloquies is a translation into Old English by King Alfred the Great, who was the King of Wessex in the late ninth century. King Alfred is known for his efforts to promote education and literacy in England during his reign, and his translation of the Soliloquies is one of the earliest examples of English prose. The book includes both the original Latin text of the Soliloquies and King Alfred's Old English translation, as well as a detailed introduction by Hargrove that provides historical and literary context for the work. The introduction also discusses King Alfred's life and his contributions to English literature and culture. Overall, King Alfred's Old English Version of St. Augustine's Soliloquies is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Old English literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of English language and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
