Paperback. Zustand: Good. First edition. The first printed edition of King Alfred's will; translated from the original manuscript by Owen Manning and reprinted in 1828. The first printed edition of King Alfred's Will, at the Claredon Press in 1788 with the 1828 reprint. 1788 edition stab-stitched in paper wraps with the 1828 in a quarter cloth binding. Translator, Rev. Owen Manning sourced the original text from theThe New Minster Liber Vitae, the register of New Minster, Winchester. The majority of entries have been dated between 1028 and 1032.Its provenance can be traced back to Walter Clavel, who was in possession of the manuscript from approximately 1710. From there, it passed through several hands before being donated to the MS. library of Mr Thomas Astle in 1769, today found in the British Library (Stowe MS 944). The 1788 edition is a wonderfully thorough scholarly work, partly printed in exquisite Old English type. Manning produced the Old English text parallel to a literal English translation, followed by both a free translation and a Latin translation. (ESTC T87078). The later reprint includes a lengthy preface with additional notes printed to the rear. This text is a monumental record of succession of the Anlgo Saxon crown, the rights, liberties and privileges of nobility during that period as well as numerous fascinating facts including the nature of land tenures and estates.
