The Venerable Bede composed On the Nature of Things (De natura rerum) and On Times (De temporibus) at the outset of his career, about AD 703. Bede fashioned himself as a teacher to his people and his age, and these two short works show him selecting, editing, and clarifying a mass of difficultand sometimes dangerous material. He insisted that his reader understand the mathematical and physical basis of time, and though he was dependent on his textual sources, he also included observations of his own. But Bede was also a Christian exegete who thought deeply and earnestly about howsalvation-history connected to natural history and the history of the peoples of the earth. To comprehend his religious mentality, we have to take on board his views on "science" - and vice versa.On the Nature of Things is a survey of cosmology. Starting with Creation and the universe as a whole, Bede reads the cosmos downwards from the heavens, through the atmosphere, to the oceans and rivers of earth. This order (recapitulating the four elements or fire, air, water and earth) was derivedfrom his main source, Isidore of Seville's On the Nature of Things. However, Bede separated out Isidore's chapters on time, and dealt with them in On Times. On Times, like its "second, revised and enlarged edition" The Reckoning of Time (De temporum ratione), works upwards from the smallest units oftime, through the day and night, the week, month and year, to the world-ages. Bede's innovation is to introduce a practical manual of Easter reckoning, or computus, into this survey.Hidden beneath the matter-of-fact surface of the work is an intense polemic about the correct principles for determining the date of Easter - principles which in Bede's view are bound up with both the integrity of nature as God's creation, and the theological significance of Christ's death andresurrection. In these works Bede re-united cosmology and time-reckoning to form a unified science of computus that would become the framework for Carolingian and Scholastic basic scientific education.… (mere)

Bede based his "On The Nature of Things" on Isidore's work of the same name. Bede was a little more dependent on Pliny's "Natural History". Like those previously mentioned works, Bede examines cosmological and natural phenomena and provides pretty standard observations and calculations for the time. Occasionally the calculations are surprisingly accurate when one considers the time that Bede wrote this. Not all of Bede's positions have stood the test of time though. Keeping in mind the preceding, this does serve as a great window into what constituted standard science (then known as natural philosophy) in the early middle ages. ( )

This book contains two works by Bede translated into English. The first is 'On the Nature of Things' which is about the creation of the world, the other is 'On Times' which is about time-keeping and the chronology of the world. Both are based on the work by previous authors, particularly Isadore of Seville. The editors have done an excellent job making these texts available to contempoarary readers. A fascinating glimpse of the light in a dark age! ( )
