The Christian authors who contributed wrote about God’s intervention throughout the island’s history and attempted to understand His larger plan for Ireland.The authors recognized paganism as a part of Irish history but emphasized God’s influence on the mortal, pagan world in order to situate the Christianization of Ireland within the wider context of the spread of Christianity across Western Europe. /nowiki> Written in the 11th and 12th centuries, the inclusion of secular texts is also suggested to be politically motivated, as the scribes were writing in response to the sociopolitical issues that affected them during the time of production, such as the internecine familial strife amongst provinces, and the eventual external strife between the native population ...

Circuit (administrative Division)
A circuit ( or ) was a historical political division of China and is a historical and modern administrative unit in Japan. The primary level of administrative division of Korea under the Joseon and in modern North and South Korea employs the same Chinese character as the Chinese and Japanese divisions but, because of its relatively greater importance, is usually translated as province instead.
