Bede's Ecclesiastical History Of England : Also The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Paperback)

Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England, along with The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, is a historical book edited by J.A. Giles. The book primarily focuses on the early history of Christianity in England, from the arrival of St. Augustine in 597 AD to the end of the 7th century. Bede, who was a monk and historian, wrote the Ecclesiastical History in Latin in the 8th century, and it is considered one of the most important sources for early English history. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, on the other hand, is a collection of annals that cover the period from the 5th century to the 12th century, and it provides a year-by-year account of events in England. The book includes translations of both texts, along with extensive notes and commentary by Giles, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
