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.
