In this volume are contained the Fourth and Fifth Books of the Ecclesiastical History, in Latin and English, as before; to the end are annexed the Notitia Librorum suorum and the Epitome, together with the continuation thereof by a later writer. Then follow the various readings of the editions collated, a Chronological Arrangement of Anglo-Saxon History, and a copious Index, forming a body of notes to the whole work. It has been thought desirable thus to keep the Ecclesiastical History separate from the other Historical Works, which, under the title of Opuscula Historica, will be all contained in the next volume.
