Description

An accessible biography of the venerable Bede, regarded as the father of English history.
A 2023 History Today Book of the Year

This book investigates the life and world of Bede (c. 673-735), the foremost scholar of the early Middle Ages and the "father of English history." It examines his notable feats, including calculating the first tide tables, creating the Ceolfrith Bibles and the Lindisfarne Gospels, writing the earliest extant Old English poetry, and composing his famous Ecclesiastical History of the English People. In addition to providing an accessible overview of Bede's life and work, Michelle P. Brown describes new discoveries regarding Bede's handwriting, his historical research, and his previously lost Old English translation of St John's Gospel, dictated on his deathbed.
