Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Writings of Saint Columban: 542? 615 The distinctive characteristics Of the Irish monks Of Old, th J passion for pilgrimage and preaching, the imperious necessity, as Montalembert calls it, of spreading themselves without, of I seeking or carrying knowledge and faith afar, never died out like the grand Old faith itself, it is the characteristic of the. Irish race. In our own day hundreds of thousands of the sons and daughters of Erin leave their country to earn their bread' in honest toil abroad; and in every land under heaven, in Asia, Africa and America, in Australia and New Zealand and in the South Sea Islands, we find the Irish priest and monk and bishop converting the heathen or keeping bright the lamp of faith where it has already been lighted.

Book excerpt: Jonas of Bobbio was an Italian monk, author, and abbot, active in Lombard Italy and Merovingian Gaul during the seventh century. He is best known as the author of the Life of Columbanus and His Disciples, one of the most important works of hagiography from the early medieval period, that charts the remarkable journey of the Irish exile and monastic founder, Columbanus (d. 615), through Western Europe, as well as the monastic movement initiated by him and his Frankish successors in the Merovingian kingdoms. In the years following Columbanus’s death numerous new monasteries were built by his successors and their elite patrons in Francia that decisively transformed the inter-relationship between monasteries and secular authorities in the Early Middle Ages. Jonas also wrote two other, occasional works set in the late fifth and sixth centuries: the Life of John, the abbot and founder of the monastery of Réomé in Burgundy, and the Life of Vedast, the first bishop of Arras and a contemporary of Clovis. Both works provide perspectives on how the past Gallic monastic tradition, the role of bishops, and the Christianization of the Franks were perceived in Jonas’s time. Jonas’s hagiography also provides important evidence for the reception of classical and late antique texts as well as the works of Gregory the Great and Gregory of Tours.This volume presents the first complete English translation of all of Jonas of Bobbio’s saints’ Lives with detailed notes and scholarly introduction that will be of value to all those interested in this period.
Download or read book Life of St Columba written by Adomnan of Iona and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1995-02-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founding father of the famous monastery on the island of Iona, a site of pilgrimage ever since his death in 597, St Columba was born into one of the ruling families in Ireland at a time of immense expansion for the Irish Church. This account of his life, written by Adomnán - the ninth abbot of Iona, and a distant relative of St Columba - describes his travels from Ireland to Scotland and his mission in the cause of Celtic Christianity there. Written 100 years after St Columba's death, it draws on written and oral traditions to depict a wise abbot among his monks, who like Christ was capable of turning water into wine, controlling sea-storms and raising the dead. An engaging account of one of the central figures in the 'Age of Saints', this is a major work of early Irish and Scottish history.

At The Lombard Court. about fifty years before Columban's arrival in Italy the last wave of the Volkerwanderung--the Migration of the Nations--had swept over the Peninsula. The story of the Lombard conquest is a story of blood and iron. The pages of Paul Warnefrid,1 the historian of the Lombards, read at times like fragments of an epic poem, so full are they of deeds of prowess and wanton bloodshed, of crime and vengeance. When we hear of the Lombards (Langobards) for the first time in the reign of Augustus, they had their seats on the lower Elbe, south of the Angles and Saxons and southwest of the Vandals, and formed part of the confederacy of German tribes known as the kingdom of Marbod. Moving southward in the fourth century, they were subjected by the Huns and regained their independence only after the death of Attila. At the beginning of the sixth century they settled on the Danube, in what is now Lower Austria; and a little later we find them, under King Audoin, south of the Middle Danube on lands given to them by Justinian. During the long and bloody wars for the possession of Rome between the Goths and the Byzantines thousands of Lombards fought in the armies of Belisarius and Narses against Totila and Teias, and their glowing accounts of the beauty and fertility of Italy ripened in Alboin, Audoin's successor, the long-cherished plan of possessing himself of the Pearl of the Empire. The immediate occasion of the Lombard invasion is said to have been an invitation extended to Alboin by Narses, who, enraged at the appointment of a new Exarch, had resolved to make the hardy warriors of Pannonia the instruments of his vengeance. However that may be, in the year 568, after defeating his eastern neighbors, the Gepidae, so decisively...
