I then gathered for myself staves, and stud-shafts, and cross-beams, and helves for each of the tools that I could work with; and bow-timbers and bolt-timbers for every work that I could perform—as many as I could carry of the comeliest trees. Nor came I home with a burden, for it pleased me not to bring all the wood home, even if I could bear it. In each tree I saw something that I needed at home; therefore I exhort every one who is able, and has many wains, to direct his steps to the self-same wood where I cut the stud-shafts. Aeterna Press

King Alfred's Old English Version of St. Augustine's Soliloquies is a profound and enlightening text that delves into the depths of spiritual introspection and philosophical inquiry. The book presents a translation of Saint Augustine's original work, providing readers with a unique perspective on the search for self-knowledge and understanding of the divine. Written in Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons, this version offers a glimpse into the early medieval period and the intellectual pursuits of the time. The rich imagery and intricate language of the text make it a captivating read for those interested in medieval literature and Christian philosophy. St. Augustine, known for his influential theological writings and philosophical insights, has inspired countless scholars and thinkers throughout history. His profound understanding of the human condition and the quest for meaning is evident in his Soliloquies, and this Old English version further showcases his enduring legacy. As Bishop of Hippo, Augustine's devotion to God and commitment to intellectual inquiry shine through in this work, challenging readers to reflect on their own beliefs and values. I highly recommend King Alfred's Old English Version of St. Augustine's Soliloquies to readers interested in delving into the complexities of Christian philosophy and medieval literature. This text offers a unique opportunity to engage with the thoughts of one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity, providing valuable insights and reflections on the nature of faith and self-discovery.

Excerpt from King Alfred's Old English Version of St. Augustine's Soliloquies: Turned Into Modern English It is no wonder that one should labor in tim ber-work, both in the gathering and also in the building; but every man desireth that, after he hath built a cottage on his lord's lease and by his help, he may sometimes rest himself therein, and go hunting, fowling, and fishing; and use it in every manner according to the lease, both on sea and land, until such time as he shall gain the fee simple of the eternal heritage through his lord's mercy. So may the rich Giver do, who ruleth both these temporary cottages and the homes everlasting. May He, who created both and ruleth both, grant me to be fit for each - both here to be useful and thither to attain.
