EDDIUS (AEDDI) , a Kentish choirmaster, summoned by See also:Wilfrid (c. 634-709), See also:bishop of See also:York, to help in organizing See also:church services in See also:Northumbria. He wrote the See also:Life of his See also:patron, and this See also:biography of St Wilfrid is the earliest extant See also:historical See also:work compiled by an Anglo-Saxon author. He is a strong See also:partisan and very credulous, but the Vita Wilfridi is nevertheless invaluable for the See also:period it treats. Its date is little after the first See also:decade of the 8th See also:century, and it was used by See also:Bede in compiling his Historia. See Eddius, Vita Wilfridi (Raine, Historians of Church of York, See also:London, 1879-1894), 14; Bede, Hist. Eccl. (Plummer, See also:Oxford, 1896), in. 2. I WO lag das Parodies? p. 66.
