This paper examines the evidence of surviving manuscripts, book inventories, and authorial citations in insular monastic communities between the seventh and eleventh centuries for information about the availability of Latin translations of the Greek fathers in early medieval England. The initial findings are meagre, but the picture of the reception of Greek patristics among early English readers that emerges from the sum of this evidence allows us to make useful comparisons with information from the continent about the availability and relative popularity of the works of particular Christian Greek authors, like Origen of Alexandria, Eusebius of Caesarea, and John Chrysostom. It also brings to light aspects of this reception history that are unique to England, like the use of translated eastern sources for the instruction of students in both Latin and Greek.
