1 post | 3 read
The accounts given by Bede and Eddius give the reader an idea of 6th and 7th century life in Britain as Roman Episcopal orthodoxy clashed with the monasticism that was spreading over Ireland and Northern England.

The Age of Bede | David Hugh Farmer
post image

Random book from our personal library.

Read in 2005. ★★★★★

We visited Bede's tomb in Durham Cathedral in Oct 2016 and it was a very moving experience. I lit a candle in memory of the patron saint of historians. As I respectfully explored the Gallilee Chapel, I looked up and saw the original painting from the cover of this book high up on a wall, slightly hidden from the casual tourist. It was so wonderful and unexpected that I almost fell over.

SamAnne What a lovely story. 2mo
