This newest volume in a long-running work of mapping the sources of
Anglo-Saxon literary culture in England from 500 to 1100 CE takes
up one of the most important authors of the period, the
eighth-century monk-scholar known as the Venerable Bede. Bede is
best known as the author of the Historia ecclesiastica gentis
Anglorum, which is one of the key sources for our historical and
cultural knowledge of the period; this collection covers that and
more, drawing on manuscript evidence, medieval library catalogues,
Anglo-Latin and Old English versions, citations, quotations, and
more, putting Bede and his work in the context of his period.
Bede is the inaugural volume in the Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary
Culture series, which seeks to comprehensively map British literary
culture from 500 to 1100 CE. This volume presents four texts, or
fascicles, dedicated to the Venerable Bede (d. 735), theologian and
author of the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum. Articles
provide a wealth of information on Bede through manuscript
evidence, medieval library catalogs, citations, and quotations.
Using discussions of source relationships, the entries weigh and
consider different interpretations of Bede's works and suggest
possibilities for future research. Part of an exciting new
reference series, this book"and those that follow"will be
indispensable to anyone interested in the history and literature of
the period.
