Церковная история народа англов
Another native source to use the term is the "Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum" of Bede, written in the early 8th century. Bede's work does not have a collective term for the archipelago, referring to "Brittania" solely as the island "formerly called Albion" and treating Ireland separately. As with Jordanes and Columba, he refers to Britain as being "Oceani insula" or "island of the Ocean".
