Irish scholars who arrived in Continental Europe in the early
Middle Ages are often credited with making some of the most
important contributions to European culture and learning of the
time, from the introduction of a new calendar to monastic reform.
Among them were celebrated personalities such as St Columbanus,
John Scottus Eriugena, and Sedulius Scottus who were in the
vanguard of a constant stream of arrivals from Ireland to
continental Europe, collectively known as 'peregrini'. The
continental response to this Irish 'diaspora' ranged from
admiration to open hostility, especially when peregrini were deemed
to challenge prevalent cultural or spiritual conventions. This
volume brings together leading historians, archaeologists, and
palaeographers who provide-for the first time-a comprehensive
assessment of the phenomenon of Irish peregrini in their
continental context and the manner in which it is framed by modern
scholarship as well as the popular imagination.
