You took some well thought out information and watered it down. Then you claim it was misinformation. You could have added to the article instead of removing. I will be watching your edits.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 21:33, 3 May 2009 (EDT)

:I'm sorry if I offended you. My remark about 'misinformation' was inspired by the implication that Bede had a relationship with [[Pope Sergius I]], and that he had mastery of [[Greek]] and [[Hebrew]]. I'm not sure exactly where these ideas come from. Bede had no recorded relationship with Sergius I. His knowledge of Greek was incredible given his historical circumstances (in early eight-century Western Europe, knowledge of Greek was very rare), but quite limited by objective standards; and like his contemporaries he had basically no knowledge of Hebrew. I'll add more information to the article soon; there was no intent to water it down. [[User:EdgarC|EdgarC]] 22:57, 3 May 2009 (EDT)
