Description

Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a history of the Christian Churches in England, and of England generally. The main focus is on the conflict between the pre-Schism Roman Rite and Celtic Christianity. Divided into five books, the Ecclesiastical History covers the history of England from the time of Julius Caesar to the date of its completion in 731. Bede sets out not just to tell the story of the English, but to advance his views on politics and religion. In political terms he is a partisan of his native Northumbria, amplifying its role in English history over and above that of Mercia, its great southern rival.


Ecclesiastical History of the English People was originally composed in Latin, and is considered one of the most important original references on Anglo-Saxon history. Bede's work as hagiographer, and his detailed attention to dating were both useful preparations for the task of writing the books, which have played a key role in the development of an English national identity. It is believed to have been completed in 731 when Bede was approximately 59 years old.


This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

About the Author
Bede: - "Bede (672/3 - 26 May 735), also known as Saint Bede, Venerable Bede, and Bede the Venerable, was an English Benedictine monk at the monastery of St. Peter and its companion monastery of St. Paul in the Kingdom of Northumbria. He is well known as an author, teacher, and scholar, and his most famous work, Ecclesiastical History of the English People, gained him the title The Father of English History. His ecumenical writings were extensive and included a number of Biblical commentaries and other theological works of exegetical erudition. Bede was one of the greatest teachers and writers of the Early Middle Ages and is considered by many historians to be the most important scholar of antiquity for the period between the death of Pope Gregory I in 604 and the coronation of Charlemagne in 800.In 1899, Pope Leo XIII declared him a Doctor of the Church. He is the only native of Great Britain to achieve this designation; Anselm of Canterbury, also a Doctor of the Church, was originally from Italy. Bede was moreover a skilled linguist and translator, and his work made the Latin and Greek writings of the early Church Fathers much more accessible to his fellow Anglo-Saxons, which contributed significantly to English Christianity. Bede's monastery had access to an impressive library which included works by Eusebius, Orosius, and many others."
