• Resumen

  • This essay questions two assumptions that have guided the study of martyrologies: the Martyrologium Hieronymianum did not, the author argues, contain any historical entries, which are indeed Bede's creation, and Bede's Martyrologium did not include brief entries, which are characteristic of the earlier work. Although making a sharper distinction between these works, it also reveals Bede's lifelong study of his source and his profound faith in the authority it shared with liturgical tradition.
