Bede the Scholar (Hardcover)

Bede the Scholar distils a decade of research by leading scholars on the Northumbrian monk, the Venerable Bede (c. 673-735). Considering Bede's place within the wider intellectual developments of the early medieval world, the book demonstrates the centrality of the Bible to his scholarship. The book breaks new ground for our understanding of its subject's self-image through investigation of the famous Ecclesiastical history of the English people, alongside lesser-known works such as the Martyrology, the commentary On Genesis, and the scriptural chapter headings he contributed anonymously to the Vulgate Bible.This volume is an essential contribution which deepens our understanding of the scholarly programme undertaken by one of the most important intellectual figures of the early middle ages. The chapters celebrate the depth and complexity of Bede's writings, whilst demonstrating their overall coherence and clarity. -- .
