Description
Abstract (cited)
The Vita Brigitae is examined for biblical allusions and chiastic structural patterning. Biblical references occur in clusters centred on geographical and spiritual locations: the Garden of Eden, Cities of Refuge, and the Peaceable Kingdom. Strong thematic and structural patterning indicates a correlation between Kildare and the New Jerusalem of Revelation.
