Clonmacnoise was among the busiest, most economically complex, and
intensely sacred places in early medieval Ireland. In Animals and
Sacred Bodies in Early Medieval Ireland: Religion and Urbanism at
Clonmacnoise, John Soderberg argues that animals are the key to
understanding Clonmacnoise's development as a thriving settlement
and a sacred space. At this sanctuary city on the River Shannon,
animal bodies were an essential source of food and raw materials
and were also depicted extensively on religious objects. Drawing
from new theories about the intersections between religion and
economics, John Soderberg explores how transformations emerging
from animal encounters made Clonmacnoise a sacred settlement and
created the sacred bodies of early medieval Ireland.
