BENEDICT BISCOP (628?69o)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 721 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BENEDICT BISCOP (628?69o) , also known as Biscop BADUCING,
English
  churchman, was born of a good Northumbrian family and was for a time a
thegn
  of King Oswiu. He then went abroad and after a second journey to Rome (he made five altogether) lived as a monk at Lerins (665-667). It was under his conduct that
Theodore
  of Tarsus came from Rome to Canter-bury in 669, and in the same year Benedict was appointed abbot of St Peter's, Canterbury. Five years later he built the monastery of St Peter at Wearmouth, on land granted him by Ecgfrith of Northumbria, and endowed it with an excellent library. A papal
letter
  in 678 exempted the monastery from external
control
 , and in 682 Benedict erected a
sister
 
foundation
  (St Paul) at
Jarrow
 . He died on the 12th of January 69o, leaving a high reputation for piety and culture. Saxon architecture owes nearly everything to his initiative, and Bede was one of his pupils.
