今朝の Voicy heldio の配信回「#1406. 英語史の古典的名著 Baugh and Cable を読む (61-2) Effects of Christianity on English Civilization」との連動記事です．先日，helwa 伊香保温泉オフ会にて，参加者8名で英書の超精読回を開きました．第1弾は3月31日の記事「#5817. B&C の第61節 "Effects of Christianity on English Civilization" (1) --- 超精読会を伊香保温泉よりお届け」 ([2025-03-31-1]) でお伝えした通りですが，今回は第2弾となります．
　今回注目したのは，第61節の中程の以下の8文からなるくだりです．それほど長くない箇所ですが，22分ほどかけて精読し議論しています．

A decade or two later, Aldhelm carried on a similar work at Malmesbury. He was a remarkable classical scholar. He had an exceptional knowledge of Latin literature, and he wrote Latin verse with ease. In the north, the school at York became in time almost as famous as that of Canterbury. The two monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow were founded by Benedict Biscop, who had been with Theodore and Hadrian at Canterbury and who on five trips to Rome brought back a rich and valuable collection of books. His most famous pupil was the Venerable Bede, a monk at Jarrow. Bede assimilated all the learning of his time. He wrote on grammar and prosody, science and chronology, and composed numerous commentaries on the books of the Old and New Testament.
