Originally written in 731 and published in English in 1903 in a
translation by LIONEL CECIL JANE (1879-1932), The Ecclesiastical
History of the English Nation was the first book of its kind. In
it, British Benedictine monk SAINT BEDE (672-735) details the
history of England from the time of Caesar until the year of its
writing. Assembled using a variety of Roman sources, including
Prosper of Acquitaine and Pope Gregory I, this astonishing work
resounds of true scholarly diligence: Bede cited his references
throughout his work, and used personal accounts only with
skepticism. Bede's history covers the wars between the Britons,
Scots, and Picts; the conquest of England by the Romans; and the
conversion of the Britons, the Scots, and the Saxons. Bede also
details the rise and fall of tribal kings and the lives of
influential bishops. Historians will find this an interesting
historical document both as a record of history and as a specimen
of history itself.
