Bede, Ecclesiastical History (British Library, MS Cotton Tiberius C. II)
- Bede, Ecclesiastical History (British Library, MS Cotton Tiberius C. II)
British Library, MS Cotton Tiberius C. II is an 8th century illuminated manuscript of Bede's "Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum". It is one of only four surviving 8th century manuscripts of Bede. As such it is on the closest texts to Bede's autograph. The manuscript has 155 vellum folios. This manuscript may have been the Latin text on which the Alfredian Old English translation of Bede's "Ecclesiastical History" was based. The manuscript is decorated with zoomorphic initials in a partly Insular and partly Continental style.
