The two magisterial fascicles on Bede, by George H. Brown and Frederick M. Biggs, are the first in a series to be issued by Amsterdam University Press for SASLC in a new model that combines print and online publication. No longer tied to publication of print volumes organized by the alphabet, SASLC will now publish all entries freely accessible online – without waiting for all entries in a given letter to be completed. Selected major entries, however, will first be published as print fascicles (four per year). These fascicles may be devoted to major individual authors such as Bede, or to multiple related authors, or to major textual genres. After print publication, each fascicle will later become available as an online publication. SASLC online will initially contain previously published entries, including those in the Trial Version, in volume 1 of the letter A (including E. Gordon Whatley's monumental Acta Sanctorum generic entry), in Liturgical Books, in Apocrypha, as well as previously unpublished entries that had been submitted over the years but were awaiting print publication of complete individual letters. We gratefully thank Simon Forde and Erin T. Dailey, acquisition editors of Amsterdam University Press, for their confidence in and support for the project, as well as Patricia Hollahan, former managing editor of Medieval Institute Publications, for allowing us to upload pdf files of the volumes published by MIP for online access.

The fascicles on Bede, the single most prolific and important Anglo-Saxon author, and one of the most important sources for Anglo-Saxon literary culture, fittingly mark SASLC's relaunch in partnership with Amsterdam University Press as well as George Brown's decades of distinguished scholarship on Bede. Special thanks go to Thomas N. Hall, former SASLC Director, for preliminary editing of the Bede entries, as well as to David F. Johnson, general editor of what was originally planned as a print volume on the letter B, whose entries as completed will now be published individually either directly to SASLC online or initially in other print fascicles. Fascicles on Pseudo-Bede (by Brandon W. Hawk) and the Old English Bede (by M. Breann Leake and Sharon Rowley) are in an advanced state preparation, as is a fascicle on Benedict's Rule (by Shannon Godlove, Stephanie Clarke, and Amity Reading).
