"Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People" was completed
in 731 AD and still ranks among the most popular of history books.
By the end of the 8th century, copies of it were to be found in
many parts of England and on the Continent, some of which are still
extant. If it were not for Bede's work, little would be known about
the Anglo-Saxon invasion and the beginnings of Christianity in
England, and such familiar names as Edwin and Oswald, Cuthbert and
Chad, Hilda and Caedmon would be almost forgotten. This corrected
reissue of the work makes use for the first time of a
mid-8th-century manuscript discovered in Leningrad, provides a
survey of the extant manuscripts and a new translation. It also
attempts to bring up to date Plummer's edition of the work,
published 80 years ago. It has been corrected to take into account
J.M. Wallace-Hadrill's "Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the
English People: A Historical Commentary" and to enable the reader
to use the two in conjunction.
