Edition, translation, and analysis of three poems composed probably about AD 681 in honour of his late master by the earliest datable Anglo-Latin poet, probably at Lindisfarne.
A consideration of phenomena infixed in the text of Versus cuiusdam Scotti de alphabeto that confirm composition of the poem in Ireland during the middle of the seventh century.
Analyses of compositions in verse and prose by early Irish writers in Ireland and on the continent reveal assimilation of structural techniques from Antiquity, the Latin bible and Boethius, which fix the ordering of diction. One note credits Columban with comprehensive disposition of varied rhythms, rhyme and alliteration in verse. The other credits Cummian with arrangement of clausular patterns and the infixing of a dating device.
