EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history as The Venerable Bede, a revered English monk and scholar, diligently translates the last chapter of St. John's Gospel. This illustration is taken from "An Outline of Christianity" edited by A. S. Peake et al. , published around 1910. Bede, also known as Saint Bede or the Venerable Bede, was an esteemed figure in the Christian community during his time. He resided at the monasteries of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Monkwearmouth and Jarrow, respectively, both located in Northumbria, England. Recognized for his wisdom and piety, Bede became renowned for his extensive knowledge on various subjects.

This photograph not only showcases Bede's scholarly pursuits but also highlights the significance of religious literature during that era.
