Annals Of Innisfallen
The ''Annals of Inisfallen'' () are a chronicle of the medieval history of Ireland. Overview There are more than 2,500 entries spanning the years between 433 and 1450. The manuscript is thought to have been compiled in 1092, as the chronicle is written by a single scribe down to that point but updated by many different hands thereafter. It was written by the monks of Innisfallen Abbey, on Innisfallen Island on Lough Leane, near Killarney in Munster, but made use of sources produced at different centres around Munster as well as a Clonmacnoise group text of the hypothetical Chronicle of Ireland. It is regarded as the main source for the medieval history of Munster. As well as the chronological entries, the manuscript contains a short, fragmented narrative of the history of pre-Christian Ireland, known as the ''pre-Patrician section'', from the time of Abraham to the arrival of Saint Patrick in Ireland. This has many elements in common with Lebor Gabála Érenn. It sets the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Benignus Of Kilbannon
Benignus of Armagh (died 467) was the son of Sesenen, an Irish chieftain in the part of Ireland that is now called County Meath. Life He was baptised into the Christian faith by Saint Patrick, and became his favourite disciple and his coadjutor in the Diocese of Armagh around AD 450. His gentle disposition suggested the name Benen, which was Latinised as Benignus. He followed his master in his travels and assisted him in his missionary labours, helping in the formation of choral services. His family may have belonged to the bardic order. From his musical achievements he was known as "Patrick's psalm-singer".

Acta Sanctorum Hiberniae
''Acta Sanctorum Hiberniae'' is the abbreviated title of a celebrated work on the Irish saints by the Franciscan, John Colgan (Leuven, 1645). Aided by Hugh Ward, Stephen White, Míchél Ó Cléirigh, and Henry Fitzsimon, White, Fitzsimon, and Thomas Messingham were "forerunners in searching for manuscripts containing Lives of Irish saints." Colgan sedulously collected enormous material for the ''Lives'' of the Irish Saints, and at length, after thirty years of sifting and digesting his materials, put to press his ''Acta Sanctorum Hiberniae'', a portion of the expense of which was defrayed by Hugh O'Reilly. The first volume, covering 270 lives of Irish saints (except Brigid and Patrick) for the months of January, February, and March, was intended to be the third volume of the ''Ecclesiastical Antiquities of Ireland'', but only one volume was printed at Leuven in 1645. A replica was produced in Dublin in 1948.John Colgan, ''The 'Acta sanctorum Hiberniae' of John Colgan, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Synod Of Kells-Mellifont
The Synod of Kells (, ) took place in 1152, under the presidency of Giovanni Cardinal Paparoni, and continued the process begun at the Synod of Ráth Breasail (1111) of reforming the Irish church.
