| − | The '''[[Bede|Venerable Bede]]''' (c. 672 - [[May 25]], 735) was a [[monk]] at the Northumbrian [[monastery]] of St. Peter at Wearmouth (today part of Sunderland), and of its daughter monastery, St. Paul's, in modern Jarrow. He is well known as an author and scholar, whose best-known work is ''[[Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum]]'' (''The Ecclesiastical History of the English People''), which gained him the title ''The Father of English History''.

In addition to two books of homilies on the [[Gospel]] [[pericope]]s of the [[Church calendar|liturgical year]], the great monk of Wearmouth's surviving works include verse-by-verse commentaries on the [[Acts of the Apostles]], the Seven Catholic Epistles, and [http://www.apocalyptic-theories.com/theories/bede/bede.html The Explanation of the Apocalypse]. His commentaries on the Pauline Epistles are contained in ''The Biblical Miscellany''. He also compiled St. Augustine's commentary on the Pauline Epistles into a single volume that follows their order in our present canon. His allegorical interpretations of the [[Old Testament]] survive in two works: ''On the Temple'' and [http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/1995/95.02.14.html ''On the Tabernacle''].
