Bede (c. 672/3–735 AD), later called the Venerable Bede, was an English monk, historian, exegete, and scholar of time and nature. His Ecclesiastical History of the English People is a foundational source for early English Christianity, while his other works support biblical learning, chronology, and the study of the natural world. Jerome represents his history and scientific treatises.
