Overview

The Venerable Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England, along with The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, is a book edited by J.A. Giles. The book is a historical account of the Christianization of England, written by the Northumbrian monk and scholar, Bede. The book covers a period of over 600 years, from the arrival of Julius Caesar in Britain in 55 BC to the arrival of St. Augustine in Kent in 597 AD. Bede's work is considered one of the most important sources for the history of early England, and it provides a detailed account of the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which is included in this edition, is a collection of annals that covers the period from the Roman occupation of Britain to the 12th century. The book is a valuable resource for students of history, religion, and literature, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the early history of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
