Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Saint Columba (Columb-Kille) A. D. 521-597: Founder of the Monastery of Iona and First Christian Missionary to the Pagan Tribes of North Britain The basis upon which all must work who edit or translate St. Adamnan's Columea must be the famous edition of the text printed from the manu script, written early in the eighth century by one Dorbbene, formerly preserved in the Monastery of Reichenan, and now in the public library of Schafi'hausen, collated with Six other manuscripts, and edited by Dr. William Reeves, in 18 57, for the Irish Archaological Society, of Dublin, and the Bannatyne Club, of Edinburgh. It is an un rivalled monument of scholarship and erudition. As Dr. Skene says in his edition (1874) of Dr. Reeves's work (which includes the translation made by the Bishop of Brechin), Adamnan's Life of St. Columea has always excited interest from its undoubted authenticity, its early date, and its connection with the introduction of Christianity into Northern Britain. But, he adds, until the appearance of Dr. Reeves's edition in 1857, the real character of Adamnan's work and of the monastic establishment of Iona was little under stood, and when his edition appeared the accuracy of its learning, the thorough research displayed in it and its wealth of illustration, placed the subject beyond the reach of controversy.

Download or read book Saint Columba of Iona written by Lucy Menzies and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the mists of time have closed down to some extent on those early days, Adamnan wrote his Life of Columba only a hundred years after the Saint's death. Cuimine the Fair was abbot at lona when Adamnan was there as a monk, and Cuimine had known Columba, had been trained under him as a lad and had himself written a short Life, De virtutibus sancti Columbae, which Adamnan quotes almost entire in his Third Book. Adamnan had therefore every advantage for the writing of Columba's life: he lived soon after the Saint among those who had known him; he had all the manuscript records of the monastery to draw upon; he wrote at Iona amid the scenes and in the atmosphere in which Columba had lived, probably even in the very hut he had occupied. And Adamnan was a native of Connacht; he belonged to the same royal race as Columba and was born only twenty-seven years after the Saint's death. Abbot of lona from 679 till 704, Adamnan was a remarkable man for those times, a scholar who could write Latin and was acquainted with Hebrew and Greek, a diplomat who persuaded the Celtic Church to make several important changes in its government and who secured the "lasting liberation of the women of the Gaels" from taking part in battle. These points are mentioned to show that Adamnan was not merely a monk on a lonely island, but one of the representative men of his time. It was at the request of his brethren that he undertook to write the life of the founder of the Columban Church, a document which is the earliest piece of historical literature connected with the Highlands-" the most complete piece of such biography. Europe can boast of, not only at so early a period, but through the whole Middle Ages." It may be asked why, when that Life still exists, there is any occasion for this one. The answer is that Adamnan's so-called Life is not a biography. It is a collection of anecdotes not arranged in chronological order and not complete. Adamnan does not tell us all he knows; he tells us nothing he considers derogatory to his hero, and most of his stories are chosen because they lead up to a miracle or a vision. History is of little importance to Adamnan, what he wants to do is to give a portrait of Columba as he saw him. Consequently although his Life is a priceless document of antiquity, there is a great deal which it does not tell us as it might conceivably have done. To the student of Celtic antiquity, of early religion, and particularly of the pre-Christian religion of our own country, Adamnan's Life of Columba is as full of riddles as it is of information. It gives us a bright and fresh picture of one particular phase of Scottish life in those early times: we see the monastic system as it was practised in Ireland and then in Scotland in the sixth century of our era, painted in vivid colours with a considerable amount of detail, but as to what lay outside of monastic life we gain from it very little information. A bright piece of real life with a great circle of darkness round it into which we would give much to be able to penetrate, that is what Adamnan gives us. By inference we learn much from his pages that he does not directly tell us, but his Life is incomplete, and must be supplemented by the old Irish Lives: that in the Book of Lismore, edited by Dr Whitley Stokes: that in the Leabar Breac or Speckled Book of MacEgan and that of Manus O'Donnell, a member of the clan from which Columba sprang, who in 1532 caused a Life of his illustrious kinsman to be compiled from every available source both in Latin and in Irish, in manuscript and in tradition. But these Lives, too, are collections of stories and legends rather than biography.
