	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Venerable Bede
		It is plain from Bede's letter to Bishop Egbert that the historian occasionally visited his friends for a few days, away from his own monastery of Jarrow, but with such rare exceptions his life seems to have been one peaceful round of study and prayer passed in the midst of his own community.
		Bede's exegetical writings both in his own idea and in that of his contemporaries stood supreme in importance among his works, but the list is long and cannot fully be given here.
		Venerable Bede is the earliest witness of pure Gregorian tradition in England.

	Bede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bede was proficient in patristic literature, and quotes Pliny the Younger, Virgil, Lucretius, Ovid, Horace, and other classical writers, but with some disapproval.
		After 596, documentary sources, which Bede took pains to obtain, are used, as well as oral testimony, which he employed with critical consideration of its value.
		As Opland notes, however, it is not entirely clear that Cuthbert is attributing this text to Bede: most manuscripts of the letter do not use a finite verb to describe Bede’s presentation of the song, and the theme was relatively common in Old English and Anglo-Latin literature.

	Bede Griffiths: Holy Man for Our Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Bede was born in 1906 to a young English and properly Anglican couple.
		Bede found that he wanted to get as close to the primal as possible, to live in the pristine state of Nature that his poetry conjured for him.
		It was Bede's hope to have created a center where people of different religious traditions could meet together in an atmosphere of prayer and learn to grow together towards that unity in Truth which is the goal of all religion.

		It is with Jarrow that Bede is chiefly associated, though no doubt from the close connexiori of the two localities he would often be at Wearmouth.
		Bede has the artists instinct of proportion, the artists sense for the picturesque and the pathetic.
		And though it would be wrong to call Bede a critical historian in the modern sense of the words, he shows a very unusual conscientiousness in collecting his information from the best available sources, and in distinguishing between what he believed to be fact, and what he regarded only as rumour or tradition.

	Eostre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Venerable Bede described her worship as something which had already died out by the time he began writing the first significant history of the Anglo-Saxons.
		What is secure in Bede's passage is that the lunar month around the month of April in the Julian calendar was called the Eostre-monath.
		The same lack of information which allows Bede's account to be questioned also makes it impossible to disprove, ultimately meaning that it cannot be accepted 'prima facie', as has often been done in popularized "histories".

		Bede used to the full, besides, his opportunities of intercourse with the clergy and monks of the north who had known the great men of whom he writes.
		This merit is, in part, due to the tradition of the northern school in which he was brought up; but it is to his own credit that he was not led away by the fascinations of the Latinity of Aldhelm.
		The metrical one is the most considerable piece of verse attempted by Bede; that in prose is a not very satisfactory expansion of an earlier life by a Lindisfarne monk.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 95.02.14
		Bede is known to most as the author of The Ecclesiastical History of the English People, the brilliant work of history produced in 731 which earned him the title, "the father of English history." However, as Holder points out in his introduction (p.
		Bede often draws on the fathers for motifs to enrich and ornament his own words, quite freely adapting his predecessors' work to suit his own homiletic themes and purposes." I would contend that Bede's mature commentaries, such as On the Tabernacle, belie that distinction, for in them Bede is also both homiletic and creative.
		Bede recognized the tent as emblematic of God's presence in the midst of his chosen people, as the Eucharist is the Lord's presence in the midst of the Christian (monastic) community.

	John Houghton--Bede's Life
		Bede wrote Benedict's biography as part of his History of the Abbots; he says that as a young nobleman, Biscop Baducing (as the future abbot was then known) left the Northumbrian court to go on pilgrimage to Rome, traveling for part of the way with his fellow countryman, Wilfrid.
		Bede (Bæda, in Old English) was born in 672 or 673, on territory that later came into the possession of Wearmouth-Jarrow; at age 7, kinsmen sent him to the monastery to be educated.
		("Bede and His Teachers," 20-22.) She points out that Bede was not the only boy in the monastery at the time (Hwætberht, later to be called Eusebius, was another), and that the language of the passage is more that of a modest author referring to himself than of one referring to a learned friend.

		Bede believed that "God's work in the emptiness of the soul is eternal." He all but saw that "spark of God" in everyone.
		Bede surrendered to the Crucified One and had an astounding breakthrough, being swept up into what he called "real prayer." This he referred to as his own "return to the Center." It was soon after this that he entered the Roman Catholic Church and then the monastery.

		Bede, who came to maturity in 687 and died in 735, was a new kind of Englishman.

		Bede could exist in his time because in the previous generation, Christianity had caught the imagination of a number of native-born English people, people of talent and, often enough, wealth and rank.

	Bede
		Bede was born in the year 672 or 673 in the territory of monastery of the blessed apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, which is at Wearmouth and at Jarrow (in Northumberland).
		The church records which Bede used as source material almost certainly included a collection of monastic annals, which had originated in the sixth century, and which began to be used for notations of other kinds (glosses) towards the end of the sixth century.
		Bede’s trustworthiness seems therefore founded more on the later part of his works, a trustworthiness which is such that he has overruled information on the earlier parts from other sources, such as the Historia Brittonum.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Bede was named a doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIII in recognition of his work and piety.
		Bede also produced two major histories of his age, and has thereby become known as "the father of English history." The History of the Abbots of Wearmouth and Jarrow is an important source for ecclesiastical history, but perhaps his most popular work has been The Ecclesiastical History of the English People.
		Bede was also a poet and wrote poems in both Old English and Latin.

	Medieval Monasticism
		Bede had "lucid style of Latin which formed an excellent vehicle for the remarkable narrative powers of its author." (4) His earliest works, De Orthographia and De Arte were intended to serve as manuals for his students in the meaning and grammatical function of words and in different verse forms.
		Bede was clearly a conscientious historian who relied on his own calculations and pioneered the modern method of using sources.
		Bede also based his narrative on papal archives, and relied on the testimony of "countless faithful witnesses who either knew or remember[ed] the facts." (7) Although he included many miracle stories in the History, he used only those which were verified by several sources or by extremely trustworthy sources.

	St. Bede
		Bede must have sometimes had a share in such employments, and he was always cheerful, obedient, and indefatigable.
		Bede tells us of himself that he applied himself wholly to the meditation of the holy scriptures, and amidst the observance of regular discipline, and the daily care of singing in the church, it was his delight to be always employed either in learning, teaching, or writing.
		It was the happiness of Venerable Bede, that receiving his education under the direction of saints, by their example, spirit, and instructions he learned from his infancy the maxims and practice of perfect sanctity.
