On The Language Of The Proverbs Of Alfred is a book written by Ernest Gropp and first published in 1829. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the language used in the proverbs of King Alfred the Great, who was a 9th century Anglo-Saxon king and scholar. Gropp examines the linguistic structure of the proverbs and provides a detailed analysis of their meaning and historical context. He also compares the language used in the proverbs to other Old English texts and discusses the influence of Latin on the language of the time.
