Contributor(s): Author: Adomnan of Iona Translator: Richard Sharpe Introduction by: Richard Sharpe Although related to one of the ruling families of Ireland, Columba (c 521-97) became a central figure in the \'Age of Saints\' by setting out from his native land and founding his famous monastery on the island of Iona. It was from here that priests and monks played a key role in converting the Picts of Scotland, here that countless penitents came on pilgrimages and that the King of Dalriada (Argyll) came to be consecrated. Adomn n\'s Life , writes Richard Sharpe, is the fullest early account, offering a \'vivid depiction of the abbot among his own monks, written on the spot by the saint\'s successor one hundred years after Columba\'s death\'. Drawing on extensive written and oral traditions, Adomn n presents Columba as a man distinguished for his prophetic and miraculous powers, whose life was filled with angelic apparitions and whose dying days were spent preparing for his departure. A stimulating Introduction sketches in the background, the archaeological evidence from Iona and the legends that grew up around Columba in medieval and more recent times. The result is an ideal new edition, equally suitable for readers seeking spiritual insight or the hard core of historical fact. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
