Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation
The Life of St. Vedast was written by Alcuin, though published on the Continent among a Series of Biographies under the name of Bede. It was originally intended to have formed part of the Appendix to the present volume; but the arrange ment of the various pieces having been confided to a friend, during the translator's absence on the Continent, it was placed immediately after The Life of St. Felix. It remains, therefore, only for the reader to enjoy this very interesting narrative, but by no means to look upon it as a genuine produc tion of the Venerable Bede. The Life of St. Felix was transferred from the metrical legend of Paulinus, Bishop of Nola, by Bede, into a prose narrative; and the compiler is therefore not responsible for the miraculous facts recorded, his office having been merely that of a faithful translator.
