Volume VI: The Pastoral Care
The Hatton manuscript takes us right to the heart of King Alfred’s drive to use vernacular prose to effect a revival of learning after the Danish wars, for it was one of the original copies which the king himself sent out when, as he tells us in his famous preface, he made a systematic distribution to his version of Gregory’s CURA PASTORALIS - a work so fundamental to the well-being of the Church. This was the copy, which he sent to Worcester, and it can be dated to 890-96. The charred fragments of Cotton Tiberius B. xi., almost wholly destroyed in the Cotton fire of 1731, and the Kassel leaf represent between them all that now remains of another manuscript that belonged to the King’s “first edition”.
