Bede / Historia Ecclesiastica Selections
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

The Historia Ecclēsiastica Gentis Anglōrum, completed in 731 CE, remains our best source of knowledge about early Anglo-Saxon history. The author, popularly known as The Venerable Bede (ca. 672–735), was born on the lands of the monastery of Wearmouth and Jarrow, in the Kingdom of Northumbria. He entered the monastery at the age of seven, and made it his home for the rest of his life. He was the author of nearly fifty works, written in Latin, including grammatical and metrical textbooks, Biblical exegesis, and church history.

As he explains in the first book of his Historia, five languages were spoken in Britain in his day: Old English (Anglo-Saxon), Brittonic (Welsh), Irish, Pictish, and Latin. While the vernaculars were spoken languages used in everyday speech, Latin was generally a scholarly language, learned from textbooks, as we tend to learn it today, and reserved for use by the Church. The Latin that Bede learned at Wearmouth and Jarrow, and that he wrote in his many books, is remarkably close to what we think of as Classical Latin, with some usages more common to later Latin. More will be said about Bede’s Latin in the section on Bede’s Latin.

Currently, the only available student commentary on selections from Bede’s Historia Ecclēsiastica is F.W. Garforth’s 1967 text and commentary (Bolchazy-Carducci), which has several shortcomings—not least of which is his complete omission of sections on important Anglo-Saxon women such as Saints Æthelthryth and Hild. This commentary seeks to address those omissions, as well as to provide fuller and more helpful grammatical notes and up-to-date digital resources (such as maps) to aid in an understanding of Bede’s text.

Cicero / De Imperio Cn. Pompei
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

This web site represents an online version of the book Cicero, On Pompey’s Command (De Imperio), 27-49 by Ingo Gildenhard, Louise Hodgson, et al., published by Open Book Publishers, Cambridge, UK, in 2014. Paperback, hardback, and .pdf versions can be obtained directly from OBP. The content of this site is substantially the same as that of the book, except that, in conformance with the normal DCC editorial policy, we put macrons on the Latin text, added audio recordings, and omitted the translation, and added full vocabulary lists in the DCC style (certain very common words are omitted). I would like to express my warm thanks to Prof. Gildenhard and to Open Book Publishers, first, for publishing under the kind of open license that makes such re-use possible, and second for their considerable help in the preparation of the site. Particular thanks are due to Bianca Gualandi, OBP's Digital Product Manager, and to Francesca Giovannetti, who undertook the difficult task of putting the original files into HTML files that we could use. Without her work the adaptation to the DCC format would have been far more difficult. The Drupal pages and menus were created by Lara Frymark and Chris Francese at Dickinson College, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Cicero / Philippic 2.44–50, 78–92, 100–119

Rating
0.0 stars

This site represents an online version of Ingo Gildenhard's book, Cicero, Philippic 2, 44–50, 78–92, 100–119. Latin Text, Study Aids with Vocabulary, and Commentary, published by Open Book Publishers in August, 2018. The DCC edition differs from the book in adding vocabulary in the DCC style, that is, with all words not in the DCC Latin Core Vocabulary glossed in running lists. We have also added macrons to the Latin text and re-arranged some of the essay material to better fit our format. I am deeply grateful for the willingness of OBP to continue our partnership in sharing content both ways, and for the cordial cooperation of Prof. Gildenhard in this republishing. Thanks are due to Bret Mulligan and his Bridge application, and to Lara Frymark for preparing the vocabulary lists. Luke Nicosia (Dickinson '21) provided invaluable help in uploading and formatting the entire text. Luke's and Lara's work was made possible by the Roberts Fund for Classical Studies at Dickinson College.
