Awarded the Irish Historical Research Prize 2021. The Venerable
Bede (c. 673-735) was the leading intellectual figure of the early
Anglo-Saxon Church, and his extensive corpus of writings
encompassed themes of exegesis, computus (dating of Easter and
construction of calendars), history and hagiography. Rather than
look at these works in isolation, Mairin MacCarron argues that
Bede's work in different genres needs to be read together to be
properly understood. This book provides the first integrated
analysis of Bede's thought on time, and demonstrates that such a
comprehensive examination allows a greater understanding of Bede's
writings on time, and illuminates the place of time and chronology
in his other works. Bede was an outstanding intellect whose
creativity and ingenuity were apparent in various genres of
writing. This book argues that in innovatively combining computus,
theology and history, Bede transformed his contemporaries'
understanding of time and chronology.
