Translated here for the first time into English, Bede's On the Nature of Things and On Times bring together cosmology and time-reckoning to form a unified science of computus -- the basis for the scientific education of the Middle Ages.

This book presents a fully annotated translation of Bede's earliest Biblical commentary, prefaced by a substantial Introduction that places Bede in the context of Revelation exegesis, and shows how, and why, he chose to expound this notoriously controversial book.

From the patristic age until the Gregorian calendar reform of 1582, computus - the science of time reckoning and art of calendar construction - was a subject of intense concern to medieval people.

The Venerable Bede's In Ezram et Neemiam* is the first and only complete commentary written on these biblical books in either the patristic or later medieval era.

This selection of writings from the sixth and seventh century AD provides a powerful insight into the early history of the Christian Church in England and Ireland. From Bede's Life of Cuthbert and Lives of the Abbots of Wearmouth and Jarrow to the anonymous Voyage of St Brendan - a whimsical mixture of fact and fantasy that describes a quest for paradise on earth - these are vivid accounts of the profoundly spiritual and passionately heroic lives of Christian pioneers and saints. Both vital religious writings and a revealing insight into the reality of life at a formative time for the church, they describe an era of heroism and bitter conflict, and the rapid spread of the Christian faith.
