Three Middle-Irish Homilies On The Lives Of Saints Patrick, Brigit And Columba (1877)

""Three Middle-Irish Homilies On The Lives Of Saints Patrick, Brigit And Columba"" is a book written by Whitley Stokes and published in 1877. The book contains three homilies written in Middle Irish that focus on the lives of three important saints in Irish history: Saint Patrick, Saint Brigit, and Saint Columba. These homilies were likely used as sermons in the early Christian church in Ireland.The first homily is about Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and tells the story of his life and mission to convert the Irish people to Christianity. The second homily is about Saint Brigit, a powerful and influential female saint who founded several monasteries in Ireland. The third homily is about Saint Columba, a monk and missionary who played a major role in spreading Christianity throughout Scotland.Stokes provides a translation of the original Middle Irish text, as well as extensive notes and commentary on the historical and cultural context of each homily. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Irish history and literature, as well as anyone interested in the lives of these important saints.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
