This list of manuscripts of Bede's ''Historia Ecclesiastica'' gives the location and name of known surviving manuscripts of Bede's most famous work, the ''Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum'' ''(Ecclesiastical History of the English People)''. ==The ''c'' and ''m'' texts== The majority of the manuscripts of Bede's ''Historia Ecclesiastica'' fall into one of two groups, known to scholars as ''c'' and ''m''. The distinction between these two groups was first noticed by Charles Plummer, in his ''Baedae Opera Historica'', published in 1896. Plummer gives five significant differences between the two:〔Plummer, ''Baedae Opera Historica'', pp. xciv–xcv.〕 # In the ''m'' text, Bede asks for the prayers of his readers at the end of his preface; in the ''c'' text this comes at the end of the whole work. # Chapter 14 of book IV only appears in the ''m'' manuscripts. # There are three words in the ''m'' text near the beginning of book IV, chapter 18, which are omitted in the ''c'' text. # There is a variation between the texts in the annal for 731 given in the recapitulation at the end of the work; and in addition, the ''c'' text adds annals for 733 and 734 which do not appear in the ''m'' text. # The list of Bede's works in the ''c'' text omits his excerpts from Jerome on the prophets. Colgrave, in his 1969 edition of the text, adds one more to this list, though he attributes this distinction to Plummer also:〔Colgrave, ''Bede's Ecclesiastical History'', pp. xl–xli.〕 The ''c'' text is now thought to be an earlier form of the work, since it is unlikely Bede (or any reviser) would have removed IV.14. In Britain, only the ''c'' text circulated, whereas almost all the copies on the continent were of the ''m'' form. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of manuscripts of Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
