Demonstrating the centrality of the Bible to his scholarship, chapters focus on Bede’s engagement with scriptural languages, his knowledge and use of earlier works of Latin literature, and a pastoral commitment to teaching and preaching. The book breaks new ground for our understanding of Bede’s self image by investigating his famous \u003ci\u003eEcclesiastical history of the English people\u003c\/i\u003e alongside lesser-known works such as the \u003ci\u003eMartyrology\u003c\/i\u003e, the commentary \u003ci\u003eOn Genesis\u003c\/i\u003e, and the chapter headings he developed for different parts of the Vulgate Bible. Contributors highlight the importance of appreciating Bede’s work within its local setting: the kingdom of Northumbria and the monastery of Wearmouth, whose founders, Benedict Biscop and Ceolfrith, inspired Bede in various ways. The monastery provided an environment in which Bede could flourish, and where he contributed to an intellectual enterprise which also generated the Codex Amiatinus, the earliest one-volume Vulgate to survive fully intact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining rigorous scholarly research with a celebration of the depth and complexity of Bede’s work,\u003ci\u003e Bede the scholar\u003c\/i\u003e deepens our understanding of the scholarly programme undertaken by one of the most important intellectual figures of the early middle ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeter Darby and Máirín MacCarron\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
