Is someone familiar with any recent work on historiography and the
Six ages of the World? A number of library searches have turned up a
rather dated (and unusable) work by Friedrich Schelling, and brief
mentions in larger compilations. (I am working on the relation of the
Genesis story to Bede's description of the adventus Saxonicum.) Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if it isn't too much, I have come across mention of
"Smith, who printed the whole of the six ages" of Bede in Stevenson's
_The Church Historians of England_ vol. 1 (1853). Does anyone know
offhand if this is A.H. Smith of _Corpus vasorum antiquorumÉ_?
Any word at all would be a great relief to my tired eyes; to paraphrase
an anonymous monk, the pupils work, but the whole body aches (not a bad
epigram for a teacher, eh?)
Merci en avance,
