This book presents a historical examination of the Hibernensis, a canonical collection of ecclesiastical decrees, dicta and scripture, compiled in the seventh or eighth century AD. Thought to have originated in Ireland, this crucial work was preserved mainly through its adoption in Brittany, where it spread throughout the region and beyond. The author traces the origins and development of this key text through a painstaking analysis of extant manuscripts, uncovering the evolution of the work's two main recensions. Examining the valuable insights this text offers into the practices and beliefs of early Irish and British Christianity, the author also explores the broader context of the work, discussing its nature, purpose, and the influence of foreign sources on its development. This book is essential reading for scholars and historians of early Christianity, particularly those focused on the Celtic Church and its practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
