Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 359: Bede the Venerable, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum
Description
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 359 contains a fourteenth-century copy of two works by Bede the Venerable, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum and De natura rerum, together with a copy of De obitu Baedae by Cuthbert, abbot of Wearmouth-Jarrow (d. after 764). To the latter has been added in a sixteenth-century hand an Anglo-Saxon passage, suggesting that Parker or his contemporaries used such later Latin copies of pre-Conquest material as a way of understanding Anglo-Saxon. The provenance of this manuscript is unknown.
