Opera Historica

Opera Historica presents a collection of historical works by Saint Bede the Venerable. This volume includes the Vita S. Cuthberti Metrica, a verse biography of Saint Cuthbert, and the Vita Et Miracula Sancti Cudbercti, a prose account of his life and miracles. Also featured is the Vita Beatorum Abbatum Benedicti, Ceolfridi, Eosterwini, Sigfridi, Atque Hwaetberhti..., detailing the lives of the abbots of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow Abbey.

These works offer invaluable insights into the religious and cultural life of Anglo-Saxon England, particularly Northumbria, during the 7th and 8th centuries. Bede's writings are essential for understanding the development of Christian monasticism and the veneration of saints in early medieval Britain. This edition, carefully compiled and introduced, provides a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in early English history and Latin literature.
