The Latin & Irish Lives of Ciaran

The Latin and Irish Lives of Ciaran offers translations by renowned Irish archaeologist Stewart Macalister of four accounts of the life of Ciaran of Clonmacnois. Macalister believed that Ciaran was the most important native Irish saint, apart from St. Brigit of Kildare. This volume includes a harmony of the four Lives of St. Ciaran, the first, second, and third Latin Lives of St. Ciran, the Irish Life of St. Ciaran, annotations to the Lives, and the Latin text of the second Life.
