Professor Emeritus George Hardin Brown, one of the world's leading authorities on Venerable Bede, has published a new book on England's earliest polymath
Bede was the author of more than 40 works. "In his time, there was no one like him," said Brown. The Northumbrian monk known as "Venerable Bede" (c.672-735) has been called "the teacher of the whole Middle Ages" and "the father of English history." For Brown, author of the newly published Companion to Bede, he is something more: The early scholar has been Brown's lifetime's work. Bede was the ultimate polymath--a master of every subject of his time: poetic principles and practice, mathematics, astronomy, history, theology, grammar.
