Hi
Concerning the lives of Irish saints have a look at
Charles Plummer's respective edition of the lifes of Irish
saints, Oxford 1910 and 1922,
Vitae Sanctorum Hiberniae, (Oxford 1910).
Bethada Náem nÉrenn (Oxford 1922)
with their very complete introductions (in English).
and also:
James F. Kenney: The sources for the early history of
Ireland, vol.I: Ecclesiastical, (Oxford 1929)
[Repr. Dublin : Pádraic ó Táilliúr, 1979 ISBN 0-906553-00-8
]
Regards Daniel
P.S.
Hi to everybody.
I'm listing for a couple of weeks now - rather nice here...
About myself: I'm an archaeologist with interest on Irish
Bronze-Age to Medieval History, especially towards analysing
written sources for arch. information. Presently working on
my PhD on Irish Seafaring in the 1st Millenium AD.
Bye now
D.
