This is not a surname; a Ce/li De/ was a member of a monastic reform movement that emphasized asceticism and learning. Oengus did compose a metric martyrology which was very popular in medieval times, based on the number of copies that have survived and the many comments, corrections, and additions noted in the margins. Other works contain colophons attributing them to Oengus, but these were generally written much after his time. Francine Nicholson %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
