Beda Venerabilis Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Focusing on the conflict between the pre-Schism Roman Rite and Celtic Christianity, this historical account explores the development of Christian churches in England. Divided into five books, it delves into the broader narrative of England's ecclesiastical history, highlighting key events and figures that shaped the religious landscape of the time.

The Ecclesiastical History of the English People (731 AD) is Bede's most famous work. A scholarly monk working in the north-east of England, Bede wrote the five books of the History in Latin. Starting with the invasion of Julius Caesar in the fifth century, he recorded the history of the English up to his own day. In particular, he described their conversion and the complex ways in which Christianity was spread among them. As well as providing the authoritative Colgrave translation of the Ecclesiastical History, this edition includes a new translation of the Greater Chronicle, in which Bede examines the Roman Empire and contemporary Europe. His Letter to Egbert gives his final reflections on the English Church just before his death, and all three texts here are further illuminated by a detailed introduction and explanatory notes.

Dějiny Anglů vylíčené osobitým stylem jednoho z největších učenců raného středověku a nejznámější dílo učence a mnicha Bedy Ctihodného (672/3–735) Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum se již od raného středověku stalo jednou z nejpopulárnějších knih v Anglii a v žánru narativní historie bylo vnímáno jako první pokus o sepsání národních dějin. Dějiny Anglů totiž nepřinášejí jen poutavé svědectví o počátcích a upevňování křesťanské víry v Británii, ale především nesmírně cenný a dodnes nejspolehlivější pramen k dějinám anglosaských království v 5.–8. století. Součástí Bedova výkladu jsou rovněž příběhy a zázraky svatých včetně životopisů jeho současníků.
