Description

The so-called "First Synod of St Patrick" is a short (less than 4 pages) collection of assorted rules for the behaviour of (probably) Irish clergy and laity, possibly originating from the sixth or seventh century.

The single manuscript itself is probably from the ninth or even tenth century.

This volume prints the results of a symposium held by a group of scholars in Belfast to discuss various aspects of the text and its background.

With the text itself in Latin with English translation, a commentary on it, and photographs of the manuscript, the editor and contributors provide a useful glimpse of a difficult but fascinating era in early medieval history.
