Paris, Iehan Petit, Venditur in vico diui Iacobi sub Leone Argenteo, 1507. Small 4to. Bound in a fine full calf pastiche-binding with five raised bands and blindtooled ornamentation to boards. Tile-page with large printers woodcut-device, verso of title-page a large wood-engraving showing the author seated in his study surrounded by books. Three small holes to first leaf, not affecting text, otherwise a good copy. 30 ff. Uncommon second edition of Bede?s influential treatise on the chronology of the six ages of the world, containing various aspects of chronology and issues regarding the Christian calendar being ?the earliest comprehensive treatment of this subject? Here Bede focuses on calculating the century old problem of the date of Easter. ?For more than eight hundred years, Bede?s De temporum ratione was the standard textbook for performing these calculations? (Encyclopaedia Britannica). ?For this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elisabeth II was born in 1926 (not ?in the 16th year of the reign of George V?, or ?in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome?, or in the year after the 481st Olympiad?), we are indebted to the Venerable Bede.? (PMM p. 16) In Anglo-Saxon England during the mid-7th century, there was a ambition to separate the timing of Easter from the Jewish Passover calendar and to ensure its observance on a Sunday. Following in the footsteps of Christian scholars before him who delved into the issue of determining the correct date for Easter, Bede, in 725, aimed to clarify the ecclesiastical rationale behind the Synod of Whitby's 664-decision, which favored Roman customs over Irish practices. ?The Reckoning of Time is about measuring time and constructing a Christian calendar, or what later medieval writers called computus. It is the earliest comprehensive treatment of this subject, for though there was an abundant calendar literature before Bede?s day, it was both fragmentary and partisan in character. (?) Bede?s book is very different in form and content. Although he is also the partisan of one form of Paschal table ? the Alexandrian 19-year cycle, as elaborated by Dionysius Exiguus ? he sought to establish its credibility by making it the basis of a comprehensive manual of time reckoning. It was a gamble that paid of. So lucid, thorough and well organized was Bede?s exposition, so easy was it to teach from and learn from, that it can be said to have not only guaranteed the ultimate success of Dionysius? system, but to have made computes into a science, with a coherent body of precept and a technical literature of its own.? (Faith Wallis. Bede the Reckoning of Time).? The editio princeps was published in 1505.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1545 Saint Venerable BEDE Bible & Commentary English Monk Church Cosmology Saint Venerable Bede was an English monk during the 7th- and 8th-centuries. He is most remembered for his ecclesiastical work on the history of English people, in which he discusses the establishment and growth of the church throughout the known world. He also wrote important commentaries on the books of the Bible. This work explains relevant Biblical passages, as well as describes the allegorical notes of Church Fathers. However, he did not write exclusively of church theology. He also wrote on the development of time and ideas of cosmology. This 16th-century Latin edition was published in Paris by Roigny.

(Index). Very rare, early, and apparently first complete edition of the seminal works by the "Father of English History", the venrable Bede. Bede?s most famous work, his "An Ecclesiastical History of the English People" (Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum)? begins with the invasion of the British Isles by Roman forces and is considered one of the most important historical records documenting Roman rule, Anglo-Saxon settlement and the evolution of the Church on the island. With its focus on Anglo-Saxon history, the work is considered a key foundational text in the forming of a national English identity. The "Ecclesiastical History" contains stories that serve as the only source documenting the conversion to Christianity of the Anglo-Saxon tribes. It tells the story of Britons from Julius Caesar?s invasion, to the time of Bede himself . He tells the story of battles, conversions and miracles performed by monks and bishops, and details Britain?s early history from the Roman invasion. He furthermore describes the organization and establishment of Christianity in the English church and covers the personal history of ?Holy Ethelwald and miracles of growth within the English church, such as the development of the bishopric. "Bede?s works fall into three groups: grammatical and ?scientific,? scriptural commentary, and historical and biographical. His earliest works included treatises on spelling, hymns, figures of speech, verse, and epigrams. His first treatise on chronology, De temporibus (?On Times?), with a brief chronicle attached, was written in 703. In 725 he completed a greatly amplified version, De temporum ratione (?On the Reckoning of Time?), with a much longer chronicle. Both these books were mainly concerned with the reckoning of Easter. His earliest biblical commentary was probably that on the Revelation to John (703??709)" in this and many similar works, his aim was to transmit and explain relevant passages from the Fathers of the Church. Although his interpretations were mainly allegorical, treating much of the biblical text as symbolic of deeper meanings, he used some critical judgment and attempted to rationalize discrepancies. Among his most notable are his verse (705?716) and prose (before 721) lives of St. Cuthbert, bishop of Lindisfarne. These works are uncritical and abound with accounts of miracles a more exclusively historical work is Historia abbatum (c. 725" ?Lives of the Abbots?). In 731/732 Bede completed his Historia ecclesiastica. Divided into five books, it recorded events in Britain from the raids by Julius Caesar (55?54 BCE) to the arrival in Kent (597 CE) of St. Augustine of Canterbury. For his sources, he claimed the authority of ancient letters, the ?traditions of our forefathers,? and his own knowledge of contemporary events. Bede?s Historia ecclesiastica leaves gaps tantalizing to secular historians. Although overloaded with the miraculous, it is the work of a scholar anxious to assess the accuracy of his sources and to record only what he regarded as trustworthy evidence. It remains an indispensable source for some of the facts and much of the feel of early Anglo-Saxon history." (Encycl. Britt). Only three editions of Bede's Opera Omnia are known before.

Some fine large woodcut initials. 8 p.l., 531 pp. Folio. Cologne: E. Cervicornus for G. Hittorp, 1533. A most attractive sammelband of two well-illustrated books in an attractive contemporary blind-stamped binding probably made at the Stavelot monastery in Belgium. I. First collected and illustrated edition of the scientific writings of the Venerable Bede including De Natura Rerum, dealing with cosmology and natural history, and De Temporum Ratione, a work on chronology that still exercises a considerable influence over our daily life today. This edition was edited and commented upon by Joannes Noviomagus, i.e., Jan van Bronchorst of Nijmegen (1494-1570), philosopher and mathematician, then a professor of philosophy at the Collegium Montanum in Cologne. It would appear that he used the manuscript at the Dombibliothek (no. 103) of Cologne to prepare this edition. The De Temporum Ratione is a significant book in several ways. Most notably, "this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 (not 'in the 16th year of the reign of George V,' or 'in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome,' or in the '2nd year of the 481st Olympiad'), we are indebted to the Venerable Bede."-Printing & the Mind of Man 16n. "Bede's greatest practical effect was on the Western calendar. His decisions (beginning the year, calculation of Easter, names of days and months, calculations of eras, and so forth) in most instances finally determined usage that was only refined, not changed by Gregorian reform."-D.S.B., I, p. 565. "The De Ratione Temporum, first published in 1505, is particularly important. It contains a remarkable theory of tides based upon Pliny, but also upon personal observation; first mention of the establishment of a port (i.e., the mean interval between the moon's meridian passage and high water following; this interval is different in different ports)."-Sarton, I, p. 511. Pierre Duhem described Bede's establishment of a port as the only original formulation of nature to be made in the West for some eight centuries. Also contained here is the De Natura Rerum (1st printing: 1529), which contains such physical science as was then known. It collects the wisdom of the ancient world on these subjects and has the special merit of referring phenomena to natural causes. It contains a particularly important section - the "De Comptu vel Loquela digitorum" - which is "our main (almost our only) source for the study of mediaeval finger reckoning or symbolism."-Sarton, I, pp. 510-11. See also Smith, History of Mathematics, II, p. 200. The rest of the book contains further treatises by Bede on arithmetic, astronomy, and the calendar and chronology. II. Very rare.
