Description

Abstract (cited)

The Vita Secunda Fursei collated by Arnulph of Lagny, recounting the seventh-century saint’s Galway origins, is discredited because of its late eleventh century date. Through analysis of 1) placenames, archaeology, genealogies and Connacht history, 2) an early Vita Prima Fursei embedded in Arnulph’s text, and 3) Arnulph’s methods, this paper concludes that the Vita Secunda deserves rehabilitation.
