Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (moors)
Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (English Moore Bede ) is a manuscript of the work of the same name by Beda Venerabilis . It was probably made in England in the 8th century and is probably the oldest surviving copy of the work.

The manuscript consists of 128 sheets in Latin and is without decorations.
