Abstract

"Founder of monasteries, navigator of fantastic voyages, wonder-working intercessor and confessor, Saint Brendan of Clonfert and Ardfert (c. 486-578) was among the most colourful and celebrated figures of medieval Ireland. This complete translation of the Vita Sancti Brendani (from Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 485), and of the Oratio attributed to him, offers the first full portrait in English of Brendan not only as the saintly hero of the popular Navigatio but also as an emblem of the Gaelic people, their struggles and their aspirations over the long arc of Irish history."
