An Aspect of Bede’s Later Knowledge of Greek
W. F. Bolton
The Classical Review, New Series, Vol. 13, No. 1 (Mar., 1963), pp. 17-18.

Although the extent of Bede’s knowledge of Greek has never been carefully investigated, the opinion that it was considerable, especially toward the end of his life, is widespread. This opinion is founded in large measure on the Retractatio of his earlier Expositio Actuum Apostolorum:

‘In quo etiam quaedam quae in Graeco sive aliter seu plus aut minus posita vidimus, breviter commemorare curavimus; quae, utrum neglegentia interpretis omissa vel aliter dicta an incuria librariorum sint depravata sive relicta, nondum scire potuimus. Namque Graecum exemplar fuisse falsatum suspicari non audeo; unde lectorem admoneo ut haec ubicumque fecerimus gratia eruditionis legat… .’

(Retractatiois used to show ‘that the Venerable Bede was well acquainted with Greek’).
