Reading edition

In the preface to the metrical version of the Bible, executed by command of Louis le Debonnaire, we find the following passage: “Præcepit namque uni de gente Saxonum qui apud suos non ignobilis vates habebatur ut Vetus ac Novum Testamentum in Germanicam Linguam poetice transferre studeret, quatenus non solum litteratis verum etiam illiteratis sacra divinorum præceptorum lectio panderetur.”
