Bede the Venerable (b. c. 673, d. 735), monk and theologian
This 12th-century manuscript contains the Historia ecclesiastica
gentis Anglorum (Ecclesiastical History of the English People) by
the Benedictine monk Bede (b. 672/3, d. 735), the Epistola de obitu
venerabilis Bedae (Letter on the Death of Bede the Venerable) by
Cuthbert, a disciple of Bede, and tracts about the conversion of
Kent and English saints. The manuscript was probably produced at
the cathedral priory of St Andrew in Rochester, but was certainly
owned there soon after its production, most likely until the
priory's dissolution. The marginal annotations throughout the
manuscript suggest that the monks used it as a sort of compendium
of English saints and bishops, and as a hagiographical source for
liturgical lections (see Webber, 'Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica as
a Source of Lections’ (2015), pp. 54-55). Contents: ff. 2r-173v:
Bede, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (ff. 2r-3v: A
prologue; ff. 3v-173v: Books I-V, each preceded by a list of
chapters). ff. 173v-175v: Cuthbert of Wearmouth, Epistola de obitu
venerabilis Bedae . ff. 176r-177r: A Latin tract about the
conversion of Kent, beginning ‘In nomine domini nostri ihesu
Christi beatus augustinus Æhelbertum regem cantuariæ cum gente
sua convertit et baptizavit’. ff. 177v: Catalogus sanctorum qui
in Anglia requiescunt (Catalogue of Saints who are Resting in
England), beginning ‘Hae sunt notationes de sanctis qui in
anglica patria requiescunt’, imperfect. [ff. 1* recto, 1* verso,
1r, 1v are empty].Decoration:Large initials with penwork decoration
in purple, green, red, and blue, a few also with yellow
highlighting at the beginning of the prologue, books, or texts (ff.
2r, 4v, 36v, 63r, 100r, 137v ). Display capitals in red, green and
purple. Medium and small initials in red, green, blue or purple,
some with penwork decoration in another colour or colours. Rubrics
in red, green, or purple. Numbers in red. Running headers in brown
ink. A faint marginal drawing in brown ink on f. 6r (unidentified).
