From the patristic age until the Gregorian calendar reform of 1582, computus – the science of time reckoning and art of calendar construction – was a subject of intense concern to medieval people.

The Reckoning of Time is a systematic exposition of the Julian solar calendar and the Paschal table of Dionysius Exiguus, with their related formulae for calculating dates. But it is

In drawing upon numerous primary and secondary resources Bede creates not only an important historical document in "The Ecclesiastical History of the English People" but also a work in which he attempts to advance his own views on politics and religion. One of the most important works of both English and

Leo Sherley-Price’s translation brings us an accurate and readable version, in modern English, of a unique historical document.
