What is Bede: On the Tabernacle (Translated Texts for Historians LUP) (Volume 18) about?
Translated with notes and introduction by Arthur G. Holder. Although The Venerable Bede is remembered today chiefly for his work as an historian, his contemporaries and later medieval readers knew him as a Christian teacher specializing in the interpretation of the Bible. The primary audience for his biblical exegesis was composed of 8th-century Anglo-Saxon monks and missionaries engaged in the ministry of pastoral care. This volume contains an English translation of Bede's allegorical commentary on the tabernacle of Moses, which he interpreted as a symbolic figure of the Christian Church. Written in the early 720s at the monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow in Northumbria, "De Tabernaculo" was the first Christian literary work devoted entirely to this topic and the first verse-by-verse commentary on the relevant portions of the Book of Exodus. In his commentary, Bede expounded the literal meaning and spiritual significance of the divine revelation of the law to Moses on Sinai, the construction of the tabernacle and the clothing of Aaron and his sons with ornate priestly vestments. His principal sources were Jerome, Cassiodorus, Gregory the Great and Isidore of Seville, as well as the Jew
