Aldhelm or Ealdhelm (d.709) was a man of Wessex, a kingsman of the West Saxon King. He began his studies under the Irish Scholar Maeldub, but got most of his training at Canterbury under Theodore and Hadrian. He gained a remarkable command of Latin, and learned some Greek besides , and even a little Hebrew. His duties as monk, as abbot of Malmesbury, and finally as bishop of Sherborne did not keep him from doing a substantial amount of writing. He is said to have composed in English as well as Latin, but his vernacular compositions have not come down to us. cf. R. Ehwald Aldhelmi Opera (Berolini 1919; Mon. Germ.Hist., Auct. Antiq., XV) cf. A LITERARY HISTORY of ENGLAND pag. 12-13 Aldhelm II Anglo-Latin Writings Compilation of 4 books. It is the must-have book if anyone is studying English Literature at any level since its information is so voluminous and clear.
