Complete Historical Works of the Venerable Bede (Delphi Classics) (Delphi Ancient Classics Book 45)

The Venerable Bedeâ€™s â€˜Ecclesiastical History of the English Peopleâ€™ is considered to be one of the most important sources on Anglo-Saxon history, playing a key role in the development of an English national identity and establishing its author as â€˜The Father of English Historyâ€™. Bede was a skilled linguist and translator and his work made the Latin and Greek writings of the early Church Fathers more accessible to his fellow Anglo-Saxons, contributing significantly to English Christianity. Delphiâ€™s Ancient Classics series provides the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This eBook presents Bedeâ€™s complete extant historical works, with beautiful illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
