To celebrate Bede’s heavenly birthday (he died 26 May 735), I’ve been thinking about manuscripts that were made at his monastery at Wearmouth + Jarrow and that are now available online.

Not forgetting the Durham Liber Vitae, spectacularly written in silver and gold possibly at Wearmouth-Jarrow or Lindisfarne:

These are not all the Wearmouth-Jarrow mss that survive. (Does anyone know of a fully digitized copy of the St Petersburg Bede, for example?)

Hats off to all the librarians who continue to make these treasures available online and maintain these sites! Given his love of libraries and computus, Bede would probably have been a huge fan of your work with libraries + modern mathematics (computers).
