The Ecclesiastical History of the English Peo... - Bede, Judith McClure, Roger Co
Starting with the invasion of Julius Caesar in the fifth century, Bede recorded the history of the English up to his own day in 731 A.D. The Ecclesiastical History is his most famous work, and this edition provides the authoritative Colgrave translation, as well as a new translation of the Greater Chronicle, never before published in English. A scholarly monk working in the north-east of England, Bede wrote the five books of his history in Latin.
This is the only edition to include all three texts, and they are illuminated further by a detailed introduction and explanatory notes. His Letter to Egbert gives his final reflections on the English Church just before his death.
