abstract:
The so called O'Donohue group of Irish saints' Lives has been defined and tentatively dated to circa 800 by Richard Sharpe in 1991. Sharpe's dating was based mainly on linguistic features and on the reconstruction of editorial work of medieval collectors and scribes of the manuscripts that are still extant. However, there is no scholarly consensus regarding the proposed date. This thesis offers a detailed discussion of a Dumber of datable features that may be found in some of the O'Donohue Lives. The Lives subjected to scrutiny are: the Life of Ailbe of Emly, the Life of Ruadán of Lorrha, the Life of Aed mac Bricc, the Life of Munnu of Taghmon and the Life of Colmán Ela. The contents of these texts have been verified against the information preserved in other Irish medieval sources: annals, genealogies, martyrologies and other saints' Lives that have been assigned secure dates.
