Works by St. Declan of Ardmore |
Description: This 12th century text is one of the only accounts of Decl�n of Ardmore�s life. In the
late 5th century, Decl�n converted the people of the feudal lands in southern Ireland to
Christianity, later founding a monastery there. The saint�s work likely primed Ireland
for the work of the iconic St. Patrick a little over one hundred years later. Not only a
biography of Decl�n, this text offers up rare historical insights into medieval culture in
the British Isles, as it often references unique cultural mythologies.
