LITERARY WORKS 151 says that Alfred ' gave to English ears the greater part of derstand- the Roman library ^ (bibliotheeae) ', meaning by the last °' phrase Latin authors. But Bibliotheca is a common name in the Middle Ages for St. Jerome^s Latin translation of the Bible, the library of divine books - ; hence Malmes- bury^s statement was misunderstood as meaning that Alfred had translated the greater part of the Latin Bible.
The statement of Ingulf ^ that Alfred made a Domesday -. Alleged
...Book like William the Conqueror rests either on a con- g^Xof'^^ fusion of Domboc (Book of Laws) with Domesday Book * ; Alfred. Or possibly on a confusion of William's Rotulus Wintoniae, as Domesday was sometimes called^, with Alfred's Win- chester Book, i. E. The Chronicle.
Other works which popular tradition has ascribed to Other Alfred are a collection of proverbs, a translation of ^sop's ^^^ ^' fables, and a treatise on falconry ^.
§ 96. Very different in value from the Dialogues, accord- Alfred's ing to our notions, is the other work of Gregory, the ^-^^^ ^f translation of which is due to Alfred, the Pastoral Care.
