Author
Colmán nepos Cracavist
Colmán ‘nepos Cracavist’
(fl. 9th century?)
Latin Irish poet, possibly of the 9th century, to whom at least two poems are attributed. The peculiar name Colmanus nepos Cracavit has been reinterpreted as a corrupted rubric which originally read Colmanus ep(is)c(opu)s craxavit, ‘Colmán the bishop wrote this’.
