Starting with the invasion of Julius Caesar in the fifth century, Bede recorded the history of the English up to his own day in 731 A.D. A scholarly monk working in the north-east of England, Bede wrote the five books of his history in Latin. The "Ecclesiastical History" is his most famous work, and this edition provides the authoritative Colgrave translation, as well as a new translation of the "Greater Chronicle", never before published in English. His "Letter to Egbert" gives his final reflections on the English Church just before his death. This is the only edition to include all three texts, and they are illuminated further by a detailed introduction and explanatory notes.
