Famulus Christi: Essays in Commemoration of the Thirteenth Centenary of the Birth of the Venerable Bede edited by Gerald Bonner

Description

The appearance of Famulus Christi is an important event in the world of Bedan studies. A collection of papers presented at the conference held in Durham in 1973 to mark the 13th centenary of the birth of the Venerable Bede, from whose description of himself as the “servant of Christ” the title is taken, it has been eagerly awaited by many students of early church history. It includes not only material on Bede and his writings, but also discussions of the archaeological, historical, literary, and social background to his work.
