Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England is a historical account of early Christianity in England, written by the Anglo-Saxon monk and scholar Bede in the 8th century. The book is divided into five books, covering the period from the arrival of Julius Caesar in Britain in 55 BC to the death of King Oswy of Northumbria in 670 AD. Bede's work provides important insights into the development of Christianity in England, including the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity, the establishment of monasteries and the spread of Christianity throughout the country. The book also includes accounts of important figures such as St. Augustine of Canterbury and St. Cuthbert. A.M. Sellar's edition of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England includes an introduction, notes, and a glossary, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and students of medieval history and theology.In the year of our Lord 377, Gratian, the fortieth from Augustus, held the empire for six years after the death of Valens; though he had long before reigned with his uncle Valens, and his brother Valentinian. Finding the condition of the commonwealth much impaired, and almost gone to ruin, and impelled by the necessity of restoring it, he invested the Spaniard, Theodosius, with the purple at Sirmium.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
