Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Venerable Bede: His Life and Writings This book in its original form was an Essay for the degree of Bachelor in Divinity in the University of Cambridge. It was published in 1879 by the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, in their series of "The Fathers for English Readers." It has had a steady sale and has been reprinted from time to time. Its main purpose was to deal with the personal and historical parts of Bede´s writings. My five years´ tenure of the Professorship of Art and Archæology in the University of Cambridge, 1888-92, resulted from and led to continuous study of the treasures that still remain to us in various parts of these islands from the early ages of Christianity. Several of the books on the History of our Church which I have written since this Essay was published have dealt with some of these treasures and have contained illustrations of them. The two delightful volumes of Bede´s Histories with which the Reverend Charles Plummer of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, has enlarged and enriched our knowledge of Bede and his times appeared in 1896. When a fresh reprint of my Essay was called for in 1918, the stereotype plates had been melted down at the instance of the Government. It seemed right to recast and greatly enlarge the book, including in its survey the other parts of Bede´s voluminous writings, and giving illustrations of some of the interesting objects described in the text. I have not observed strict uniformity or scientific accuracy in the spelling of Anglo-Saxon names. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
