Wisdom ond lar

Got another certificate to frame today, for my Post-Graduate Certificate in Research Skills, which we have to do alongside our PhDs. This is the university motto which translates as ‘Wisdom and Knowledge’.

In case you were wondering, the motto was inspired by the preface of King Alfred's translation into Old English, during the late 9th century, of Pope Gregory the Great's Regula Pastoralis, which frequently refers to both wisdom and knowledge. Alfred's translation was instrumental in the pursuit to improve education in Anglo-Saxon England.
