About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of "Life of Alfred the Great" by Asser, Bishop of Sherborne, translated by J. A. Giles, and read by R. S. Steinberg. A life of King Alfred of England originally composed in Latin, possibly sometime around 888 A.D. by the Monk and Bishop Asser, although some scholars contend that the work was actually composed much later by an unknown hand.
