Catalyst: "The Ecclesiastical History of the English People; The Greater Chronicle; Bede's Letter to Egbert" from Oxford University Press, by The Venerable Bede, 496 pages, paperback, c. 1999, $13.95
[Source: Oxford University Press] The Ecclesiastical History of the English People (731 AD) is Bede's most famous work. As well as providing the authoritative Colgrave translation of the Ecclesiastical History, this edition includes a new translation of the Greater Chronicle, in which Bede examines the Roman Empire and contemporary Europe. His Letter to Egbert gives his final reflections on the English Church just before his death, and all three texts here are further illuminated by a detailed introduction and explanatory notes.
"One of the first great works of English literature...This edition is based on the standard scholarly text, comes replete with notes by its editors...and includes two shorter works, The Greater Chronicle and the Letter to Egbert...This book offers anecdote, philosophical observation, and even charm." -- The Washington Post
