The Irish temperament--individualistic, poetic, and deeply loyal to
family--produced great and learned saints and a unique monastic
literature before the Norman Invasion. The isolation of the island
allowed the development of traditions different from those of
either Britain or the continent. These graceful translations of
Irish monastic rules and spiritual maxims, along with samples of
Irish litanies and poetry from the early Celtic monastic world,
convey the spirituality of the Isle of Saints from the sixth to
eighth centuries. This book will be warmly welcomed not only by
academics and monastics but also by those many lay people who are
increasingly looking to Celtic Christianity to deepen their own
faith and prayer. It makes accessible a whole range of important
material from monastic rules to short poetic quatrains nd those
magnificent litanies which still have the power to move us deeply.
This is a book which will touch a wide readership at many different
levels.
