Summary:"This book aims at bringing together and providing all the information available on the Bible in the early Irish church (A.D.550-850), drawing on some sources not well known for this subject, such as Columbanus, the early writer Apponius, St Gall list of works in Irish script, and the Libri scottice scripti.
