Abstract

Bede is the inaugural volume in the Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture series, which seeks to comprehensively map British literary culture from 500 to 1100 CE. This volume presents four texts, or fascicles, dedicated to the Venerable Bede (d. 735), theologian and author of the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum. Articles provide a wealth of information on Bede through manuscript evidence, medieval library catalogs, citations, and quotations. Using discussions of source relationships, the entries weigh and consider different interpretations of Bede's works and suggest possibilities for future research. Part of an exciting new reference series, this book"and those that follow"will be indispensable to anyone interested in the history and literature of the period.

Abstract

This newest volume in a long-running work of mapping the sources of Anglo-Saxon literary culture in England from 500 to 1100 CE takes up one of the most important authors of the period, the eighth-century monk-scholar known as the Venerable Bede. Bede is best known as the author of the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, which is one of the key sources for our historical and cultural knowledge of the period; this collection covers that and more, drawing on manuscript evidence, medieval library catalogues, Anglo-Latin and Old English versions, citations, quotations, and more, putting Bede and his work in the context of his period.

Abstract

En juillet 2002, les meilleurs spécialistes mondiaux de Bède le Vénérable (c. 670-735) se sont retrouvés à Lille et à Amiens pour dresser un bilan des études relatives à l'oeuvre et à la postérité du grand écolâtre anglo-saxon, et pour ouvrir sur elles de nouvelles perspectives de recherches. Venus de Grande-Bretagne, d'Irlande, du Canada, des États-Unis, du Japon, d'Italie, d'Allemagne, de Belgique et de France, ils ont passé trois jours à exposer leurs travaux, à écouter, à échanger, dans une athmosphère à la fois studieuse et confraternelle. Les organisateurs du colloque sont heureux de publier aujourd'hui les principaux résultats de ces fructueuses journées. Presque toutes les communications qui y ont été faites sont ici réunies, augmentées de quelques contributions originales que leurs auteurs n'avaient pu présenter en juillet 2002. Les unes et les autres ont été regroupées sous cinq titres dans lesquels on retrouvera, à quelques nuances près, le découpage initial du projet : 1. Bède et ses sources ; 2. Bède, l'exégète ; 3. Un historien en son milieu ; 4. La postérité de Bède ; 5. Les traductions de Bède. De cette harmonieuse polyphonie se dégage l'image d'un érudit qui, bien loin de se limiter à celle de l'ascète coupé du monde, rigoureux, voire rigoriste, qui a longtemps été mise en avant, montre un homme engagé, souvent indulgent à l'égard de mouvements ou de tendances ecclésiales peu orthodoxes, et toujours soucieux de réformer l'Église et la société de l'Angleterre de son temps. Pour y parvenir, il est allé puiser ses arguments dans des traditions testamentaires, patristiques et historiographiques dans lesquelles il a opéré un choix souvent original, et qui expliquent aussi bien le caractère unique que la portée universelle de son oeuvre.

Abstract

While prayer is generally understood as "communion with God" modern forms of spirituality prefer "communion" that is non-petitionary and wordless. This preference has unduly influenced modern scholarship on historic methods of prayer particularly concerning Anglo-Saxon spirituality. In Compelling God, Stephanie Clark examines the relationship between prayer, gift giving, the self, and community in Anglo-Saxon England. Clark's analysis of the works of Bede, Ælfric, and Alfred utilizes anthropologic and economic theories of exchange in order to reveal the ritualized, gift-giving relationship with God that Anglo-Saxon prayer espoused. Anglo-Saxon prayer therefore should be considered not merely within the usual context of contemplation, rumination, and meditation but also within the context of gift exchange, offering, and sacrifice. Compelling God allows us to see how practices of prayer were at the centre of social connections through which Anglo-Saxons conceptualized a sense of their own personal and communal identity.

Abstract

The period from the fifth century to the eighth century witnessed massive political, social and religious change in Europe. Geographical and historical thought, long rooted to Roman ideologies, had to adopt the new perspectives of late antiquity. In the light of expanding Christianity and the evolution of successor kingdoms in the West, new historical discourses emerged which were seminal in the development of medieval historiography. Taking their lead from Orosius in the early fifth century, Latin historians turned increasingly to geographical description, as well as historical narrative, to examine the world around them. This book explores the interdependence of geographical and historical modes of expression in four of the most important writers of the period: Orosius, Jordanes, Isidore of Seville and the Venerable Bede. It offers important readings of each by arguing that the long geographical passages with which they were introduced were central to their authors' historical assumptions and arguments.
