Bede's Ecclesiastical History Of The English Nation is a historical account of the early Christian church in England, written by the monk and scholar Bede in the 8th century. The book covers the period from the arrival of the first Christian missionaries in England in the 6th century to the death of the Northumbrian king and saint, Cuthbert, in 687 AD. Bede's work is considered one of the most important sources for the history of early medieval England, providing valuable insights into the social, political, and religious developments of the period. The book is divided into five books, each covering a different period of English history. Book 1 covers the arrival of the first missionaries, including St. Augustine, and the conversion of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to Christianity. Book 2 focuses on the rise of the Northumbrian kingdom and the establishment of the monastery at Lindisfarne. Book 3 covers the reign of King Edwin and the conversion of the Mercian and East Anglian kingdoms. Book 4 covers the rise of the Northumbrian church and the life of St. Cuthbert. Finally, Book 5 covers the reign of the Northumbrian king Aldfrith and the spread of Christianity to the south of England. The book is written in Latin and has been translated into English numerous times, with the 1870 translation by A.M. Sellar being one of the most widely used.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
