This part II treats the lapidary passage in Bede'sExplanatio Apocalypsis;a Hiberno-Latin tractDe Duodecim Lapidibus(henceforthDDL) used by Bede; and (with a critical edition) a tenth-century Latin hymnCives celestis patrie, quite likely composed in Anglo-Saxon England, and closely based on Bede's work.4
