Prophecy and Kingship in Adomnan's 'Life of Saint Columba' (Hardcover)

This text offers a new interpretation of Adomnan's 'Life of Saint Columba', a crucial source for the study of early Irish and north British history. Whereas previous scholars have assumed that this vita was that of a fairly typical Irish saint, Enright shows that Adomnan intended to portray Columba as an authentic Old Testament-style prophet, one superior to any other leader because he had been divinely chosen and commissioned to impose God's will on the British Isles."
