medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
St Ronan is another such saint. If I remember correctly, his psalter was rescued
from the water and returned to him by an otter. See:
Nagy (Joseph Falaky): "Otter, salmon and eel in traditional Gaelic
narrative." In: Studia Celtica 2021 (19851986), pp. 123-144.
Cheers,
Martin
