Asser (d. 908/909) was a Welsh monk from St. David's, Dyfed, who became Bishop of Sherborne in the 890s. In about 885 he was asked by Alfred the Great to leave St. David's and join the circle of learned men which Alfred was recruiting for his court. After spending a year at Caerwent due to an illness, he accepted. In 893 Asser wrote a biography of Alfred, called the Life of King Alfred. The manuscript survived to modern times in only one copy, which was part of the Cotton library.

- Asser (d. 908/909) was a Welsh monk from St. David's, Dyfed, who became Bishop of Sherborne in the 890s. In about 885 he was asked by Alfred the Great to leave St. David's and join the circle of learned men which Alfred was recruiting for his court. After spending a year at Caerwent due to an illness, he accepted. In 893 Asser wrote a biography of Alfred, called the Life of King Alfred. The manuscript survived to modern times in only one copy, which was part of the Cotton library. That copy was destroyed in a fire in 1731, but transcriptions that had been made earlier, allied with material from Asser's work that was included by other early writers, have enabled the work to be reconstructed. The biography is now the main source of information about Alfred's life, and provides far more information about Alfred than is known about any other early English ruler. Asser also assisted Alfred in his translation of Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care, and possibly with other works. Asser is sometimes cited as a source for the legend of Alfred having founded the University of Oxford, which is now known to be false. A short passage making this claim was interpolated by William Camden into his 1603 edition of Asser's Life. Doubts have also been raised periodically about whether the entire Life is a forgery, written by a slightly later writer, but it is now almost universally accepted as genuine.
- Asser († 908/909) war ein walisischer Mönch und späterer Bischof von Sherborne (ab etwa 892). Er war ein Vertrauter des Angelsachsenkönigs Alfred des Großen, des Königs von Wessex. Asser war wohl auch an der angelsächsischen „Renaissance“ beteiligt, die durch das gelehrte Hofleben Alfreds ermöglicht wurde. Asser schrieb auf Latein eine Biographie Alfreds bis 893; diese ist an Einhards Karlbiographie angelehnt und stellt die wichtigste Quelle für die Zeit Alfreds des Großen dar, wobei der König in einem sehr günstigen Licht dargestellt wird, etwa in Bezug auf die Abwehr der Wikinger. Zweifel bezüglich der Echtheit der Biographie (die einzige erhaltene Handschrift wurde 1731 bei einem Feuer vernichtet), wie sie etwa von Alfred P. Smyth geäußert wurden, der eine spätere Fälschung vermutet, sind so nicht haltbar (vgl. die Zurückweisung durch Richard Abels).
- Asser était un moine gallois issu de Saint-David, qui devint évêque de Sherborne dans les années 890. Vers 885, Alfred le Grand lui proposa de quitter Saint-David pour rejoindre le cercle d'érudits qu'il rassemblait à sa cour. Asser accepta, après avoir passé une année à Caerwent en raison d'une maladie. En 893, Asser rédigea une biographie d'Alfred, intitulée Vie du Roi Alfred (Life of King Alfred). Une seule copie du manuscrit a survécu jusqu'à l'époque moderne, et appartenait à la Cotton library. Cette copie fut détruite par un incendie en 1731, mais des transcriptions antérieures, ainsi que des éléments de l'œuvre d'Asser repris par d'autres auteurs, ont permis de reformer l'ouvrage. Cette biographie est aujourd'hui la principale source d'information sur la vie d'Alfred, et fournit plus d'informations sur Alfred qu'il n'en existe sur tout autre monarque anglais d'avant la conquête normande. Asser aida également Alfred à traduire la Regula Pastoralis de Grégoire le Grand, ainsi que peut-être d'autres œuvres. On a parfois douté de la véracité de la Vie, qu'on a soupçonné avoir été écrite par un auteur un peu plus tardif, mais elle est aujourd'hui considérée presque unanimement comme authentique.
- Asser var en walisisk munk, som i 890-årene ble biskop av Sherborne. Hans opprinnelige navn var muligens Gwyn eller Guinn, som betyr «velsignet»; Asser og Asher er hebraiske for det samme, og navnet på Jakobs åttende sønn i Det gamle testamente. Han var munk i St. Davids, som da lå i kongedømmet Dyfed. Ingenting er kjent om hans tidlige liv. På et tidspunkt begynte han å arbeide for kong Alfred den store i Wessex, blant annet med å oversette bøker og å veilede kongen når han leste disse. I 893 skrev han en biografi om Alfred, Livet til kong Alfred, som til tross for at den synes å være et uferdig utkast er den beste kilde man har om en tidlig engelsk konge. Mellom 892 og 900 ble han biskop av Sherborne. Han hadde allerede tidligere blitt bispeviet, og det er mulig at han var biskop av St. Davids eller hjelpebiskop under Wulfsige av Sherborne. Giraldus Cambrensis nevnet ham som biskop av St. David's, men hans verk ble ikke skrevet før i 1191, og opplysningen regnes som usikker. I 19. og 20. århundre hevdet flere forskere av hans biografi om kong Alfred ikke var autentisk. Minst én forsker har hevdet at det var biskop av Exeter, Leofric, biskop 1046–1072, som skrev den og av egeninteresse tilskreve den feilaktig til Asser. Et annet forslag har vært Byrhtferth av Ramsey som benyttet store utdrag av Assers tekst i Historia regum, eller Historien over kongene, en historisk blanding som omhandler de angelsaksiske kongedømmene fram til kong Alfred. I løpet av debatten viste det seg at argumentene for at det var en forfalskning ikke sto seg når de ble undersøkt grundig, og det er nå igjen allment akseptert at verket er av Assers hånd. Påstandene blir gjennomgått i innledningen til standardutgaven av Alfred The Great .
- Asser (zm. 908/909) był walijskim mnichem z St David's w królestwie Dyfed. W latach 875- 879 był biskupem Sherborne. Około 885 r. Alfred Wielki poprosił go, by opuścił St David's i dołączył do kręgu uczonych mężów, których Alfred gromadził na swym dworze. Po rocznym pobycie w Caerwent spowodowanym chorobą, Asser przyjął zaproszenie. W 893 r. Asser napisał biografię Alfreda, zwaną Life of King Alfred (Żywot króla Alfreda). Rękopis przetrwał do czasów nowożytnych w tylko jednej kopii, która była częścią księgozbioru Cottona. Kopia ta uległa zniszczeniu w pożarze w 1731 r. , ale tłumaczenia, które sporządzono wcześniej w połączeniu z fragmentami dzieła Assera, które zostały przytoczone przez innych wczesnych autorów, umożliwiły rekonstrukcję tego dzieła. Biografia ta jest obecnie głównym źródłem informacji o życiu Alfreda i dostarcza o nim o wiele więcej wiadomości niż o jakimkolwiek innym wczesnym władcy angielskim. Asser pomagał także Alfredowi w tłumaczeniu Regula pastoralis (traktatu dotyczącego obowiązków duchowieństwa) Grzegorza Wielkiego i prawdopodobnie innych dzieł. Przypisy Life of King Alfred ang.
