List of works by Bede

The following is a list of works by Bede.

At the end of Bede's most famous work, the Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, Bede lists his works. His list includes several books that have not survived to the present day; it also omits a few works of his which he either omitted or which he wrote after he finished the Historia. His list follows, with an English translation given; the title used to describe the work in this article is also given, for easier reference.

In addition, the following works are listed below but are not mentioned by Bede:

Commentary on Acts

Retractation

Commentary on the Apocalypse

Commentary on the Catholic Epistles

Collectaneum on the Pauline Epistles

Commentary on Ezra and Nehemiah

Commentary on Genesis

This exists in two forms; an early version in two books, and a later, revised version in four books. The work comments on the first twenty chapters of Genesis and the first ten verses of the twenty-first chapter.

Commentary on the Prayer of Habakkuk

It is not known when Bede composed this commentary. Bede dedicated the work to "his dearly beloved sister and virgin of Christ", but gives no further clues to the dedicatee's identity. Bede's commentary draws on the work of Jerome and on Augustine's City of God.

Commentary on Luke

Commentary on Mark

Commentary on Proverbs

Quaestiones XXX

Commentary on Samuel

Commentary on the Song of Songs

De tabernaculo

De templo Salomonis

Composed not long before 731. This work discusses the passage in 1 Kings 3:1 to 7:51 in which Solomon builds a temple. Bede was here extending a long tradition of commentary on the temple in patristic literature.

Commentary on Tobit

Laistner suggests that this may have been written at about the same time as De templo Salmonis, since in both Bede stresses allegorical interpretation; however, he comments that there is no textual evidence to support this. There is no other indication of the date of composition. As with the commentary on Habakkuk, Bede draws on the work of Jerome and on Augustine's City of God.

De Locis Sanctis

Life of St. Anastasius
