Title
Fiarfaidhi San Anselmuis
Fiarfaidhi San Anselmuis, with Sansalmus restored to San Anselmuis, is the title favoured by Skerrett in his edition of the text.
Author
Ascribed to: Ua Conchubhair (Seán) [translator]
Ua Conchubhair (Seán) ... translator
(d. 1391?)
Seán Ua/Ó Conchubhair, Irish scholar, or possibly scholars of the same name, credited with the translation into Irish of the Dialogus de passione Christi attributed to St Anselm and the Liber de passione Christi attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux. AFM s.a. 1391 records the killing of one Seaan mac Mathgamhna Uí Choncobhair. Their names may but need not refer to the same person.
