A source of outstanding importance for the study of the early Irish
church. This edition presents all martyrologies not previously
printed, all descendants in some way of the 'Martyrology of
Oengus'. Among the positive effects of the English Conquest of
Ireland in the late twelfth century was the stimulus it gave to the
writing of the records of the Irish saints. All four martyrologies
edited in this volume arguably date to the period immediately after
the Conquest, when the Irish Church, faced with accusations of
backwardness and irregularity, was at pains to demonstrate its
modernity and orthodoxy. This was achieved by drawing on such
external sources as the Martyrology of Ado, 'wedding' it to such
native sources as the Martyrology of aengus. Judging by the text of
the Martyrology of Drummond, Armagh played a pivotal role in the
liturgical 'revival' reflected by all four texts. Use of the
annotated version of the Martyrology of aengus prepared at Armagh
about 1170-74 can be detected in three of the four texts.
