Bede’s Homily on Benedict Biscop (Hom. i. 13)

The article consists of a new translation of Bede’s important homily on the anniversary of the death of Benedict Biscop, founder of his monastery, footnoted to signal numerous changes from D. Hurst’s Corpus Christianorum text; discussion of the structure of the sermon, where it is argued that at least two versions have become entwined, leading to some incoherence; some remarks on the relationship between the homily and other sources of information on Biscop’s life; and a short appendix arguing against Hurst’s view of the manuscript tradition.
