Colmán ‘nepos Cracavist’

  • fl. 9th century?
  • Irish poets, Irish people in continental Europe
  • (agents)
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’.
