While the sole manuscript known to have contained the text is lost, it formed the basis for two 17th-century ‘editions’, one by John Colgan and the other by the Bollandists. BHL 1494.

Latin Life of St Columba (Ir. Colum Cille), Irish missionary, monk and founder of Iona, written by Adomnán, abbot of Iona, about a century after the saint’s death.

Despite its hagiographic content, it remains an important source of historical study.

Life of St Cyngar (Lat. Cungarus) of Congresbury, a good part of which is preserved in a fragment held at Wells Cathedral. In the text, Cungarus is presented as the son of the emperor of Constantinople, who did not wish to follow in his father’s footsteps. He fled, ultimately reaching Britain, where he founded a small chapel at Congresbury, Somerset (suo vocabulo Cungrisberia nominatum), and to judge by the capitula, another place of worship in Wales. BHL Suppl. 2013. A fuller version of the text was printed in the Nova legenda Angliae.
