Description
The Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a comprehensive history of the Christian Churches in England, spanning from the time of Julius Caesar to the 8th century. Bede's work is notable for its focus on the conflict between the pre-Schism Roman Rite and Celtic Christianity, providing valuable insights into the complex history of England during this period. Written in Latin and completed at the age of 59, this seminal work has played a significant role in shaping the development of an English national identity. Bede's detailed attention to dating and his work as a hagiographer prepared him well for this task, making the Ecclesiastical History a rich source of information on Anglo-Saxon history. This Royal Collector's Edition features a case laminate hardcover with a Victorian-inspired dust jacket, making it a beautiful addition to any book collection.
