Bede, a monk and scholar, is the author of the original text, which is considered one of the most important sources for the early history of England. Sellar's edition includes a comprehensive introduction and notes, as well as a modern translation of the original Latin text. The book is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity in England.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.
