Today We Celebrate
Festival of the Venerable Bede, the
EirSt English Historian

First English Historian
In the calendars of both the ROM
an Catholic and Anglican churches
today, May 27, is the festival of the
Venerable Bede, the first English his
torian. Bede, or Baeda, the greatest
figure in ancient English literature,
was a native of Honkearmouth, Dur
ham, and was born about the year
673. At six he was left an orphan,
and was entrusted to the care of st.
Benedict Biscop, and educated in the
Benedictine Abbey of his native viii
lage. Later he entered the monastery
at Jarrow, where he trained hundreds
of scholars, and began those literary
labors which were to win for him a
permanent place in the world of let
ters.
Bede was student of every
branch of science and literature then
known, and familiar with Latin, He
brew and Greek. His industry was
enormous, and, in the intervals of
performing his duties as a priest, he
wrote biographies of saints, pious
homilies. epigrams, hymns, and works
on history, grammar and chronology.
The greatest work which he has
left is his Ecclesiastical History of
England" in five volumes, CLEANED
from native chronicles and oral ira
uitiOii. HIS NOIR was TRANSLATED
from the original Latin into Anglo
Saxon by King Alfred. The first
printed editions We're issued from
Strasburg in the fifteenth century.
In his latter years the Saint suffer-
ed much from illness and lack of ap-
probation of his efforts. When he
died, in 735, he was engaged in trans
lating the Gospel of St John from
the Greek. By sheer will power he
held himself to the task, and on As
cension Day he saw it completed. In
the evening one Of his boy students
said, as Bede laid down his pen,
Master, there is yet one sentence un-
written" Write it quickly, then"
said the Saint, and the youth wrote,
"consummatum est" Good Thou
hast said the truth" remarked the
father of English history and then
reclined upon the cold, bare floor of
his cell and died.
