Alfreds Appeal On Learning And Language In Saxon England
In this historical piece King Alfred urges his people to value learning and translation. He laments the decline of English literacy among clergy and laity after Danish devastation and calls for translating key works into Saxon so all can understand. He notes earlier ages of wisdom, church scholarship, and the spread of knowledge as essential to peace and worthy rule.
