Abstract:
Columba is one of the best-known saints of the early Celtic church; through his foundation of the abbey of Iona he had a far-reaching influence on medieval Christianity. In about 700, a century after his death, the Life of Columba was written by Adomnán, ninth abbot of Iona. It has long been valued as the major primary source on the subject, for the light it throws on early medieval Scotland and Ireland, and as an important work of literature. The 1961 edition of the Life, by Alan and Marjorie Anderson, has long been unavailable. Marjorie Anderson has now revised both the Latin text and the English translation, provided new historical notes, and rewritten the Introduction to take account of recent work in the area. This new edition of a source indispensable for the study of the early medieval church meets a major scholarly need.

Advanced Search Tips

When you search on a word, e.g. 'abbaye', we will automatically search across everything we store about a record. But, sometimes you may wish to be more specific. Here we show you how.

Simple search on a specific category

  • Some examples :

    • title:abbaye search abbaye in the title
    • author:hieronymus search hieronymus in the author (Hieronymus as well as Frank, Hieronymus will be find)
    • callNumber:1100.4 search for the call number 1100.4
    • subject:belgique search belgique in the subjects
    • serie:subsidia search subsidia in the series field

Exact match

  • Use the quotes " "

    • title:"catalogue de manuscrits"
    • author:"frank, hieronymus"
    • callNumber:"R Theol Fo-20"
    • subject:"catalogue de manuscrits"

Other tips

  • Use the Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT or AND NOT) Note: by default, the search will use "AND" in your query. The query 'abbaye citeaux' will search for both words in the record.

    Some examples with Boolean operator :

    • serie:"subsidia hagiographica" AND author:dolbeau find the resource where Dolbeau is author in the serie Subsidia hagiographica
    • subject:iconographie AND subject:"Maria Deipara" find resource about the iconographia of Maria Deipara
    • Bible AND publicationYear:1810 search subsidia in the series field
    • subject:martyrologe AND NOT subject:"martyrologe d'usuard" find resource with "martyrologe" as subject, but not "martyrologe d'Usuard"
    • museon AND NOT type:journal find resource with museon, that are not a journal
    • callNumber:"R Hagiog B-337" OR callNumber:"R Hagiog B-336" find resource with either call number
    • sort_callNumber:["R Hagiog A-1" TO "R Hagiog B-215"] find resource from one call Number to the other
  • publicationYear:[1500 TO 1600] all the resource from 1500 to 1600
  • Use the asterisk to truncate you search :

    • title:manuscrit* find : manuscrit, manuscrits, manuscritos, … in the title
