Saint Colum Cille, also known from the Latin form if his name as columba, was probably born in Donegal in AD 520 and died in Iona on 9 June - most likely in the year 593. His memory has been kept alive for almost a millenium and a half through folklore and literature, music and song, poetry and sculputre, manuscript-making and metalwork, history and archaeology.
Saint Columba: His Life and Legacy is a comprehensive examination of the saint's life in so far as we can know it, and a survey of the cult and traditions that developed subsequently; it also gives an outline of the enormous cultural legacy associated with the saint's name. It covers material from Ireland, Scotland, the north of England, and the continent (including Scandinavia) and combines some archaeology, art history and folklore with the richer documentary material.
