	[No title]
		Adamnan, after Columba himself the brightest ornament of the School of Iona, in his "Life" of the founder, makes explicit references to the tabulae, waxen tablets for writing; to the pens and styles, graphia and calami, and to the ink-horn, cornicula atramenti, to be found in the scriptorium.
		Adamnan, otherwise Eunan, a native of Drumhome, in County Donegal, and a tribal relative of Columba, was educated from his youth in Iona, and it may be said that all his learning was the learning of Iona.
		During the century that closed with the death of Adamnan, Iona was in its glory, Columba and his monks had converted to the faith the whole of Pictland with its rulers.

	St. Adamnan - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon
		During his rule he paid three lengthy visits to Ireland, one of which is memorable for his success in introducing the Roman Paschal observance.
		From a literary point of view, St. Adamnan takes the very highest place as the biographer of St. Columba (Columcille), and as the author of a treatise "De Locis Sanctis".
		It was printed by Colgan (from a copy supplied by Father Stephen White, S.J.), and by the Bollandists, but it was left for a nineteenth-century Irish scholar (Dr. Reeves, Protestant Bishop of Down, Connor and Dromore) to issue, in 1837, the most admirable of all existing editions.

		Adamnan wrote a Life of St Columba, which, though abounding in fabulous matter, is of great interest and value.
		Adamnan's other well-known work, De Locis Sanctis (edited by P. Geyer, Itinera Hierosolymitana saeculi, iii.-viii., andc., 1898; vol.
		Latin) was based, according to Bede, on information received from Arculf, a French bishop, who, on his return from the Holy Land, was wrecked on the west coast of Britain, and was entertained for a time at Iona.

		For when Adamnan, priest and abbot of the monks that were in the island of Hii, was sent by his nation on a mission to Aldfrid, king of the English, he abode some time in that province, and saw the canonical rites of the Church.
		Moreover, he was earnestly admonished by many of the more learned sort, not to presume to live contrary to the universal custom of the Church, either in regard to the observance of Easter, or any other ordinances whatsoever, with those few followers of his dwelling in the farthest corner of the world.
		Adamnan presented this book to King Aldfrid, and through his bounty it came to be read by lesser persons.

	Bede's Ecclesiastical History - Part 1
		Adamnan, priest and abbat of the monks that were in the isle of Hii, was sent ambassador by his nation to Alfrid, king of the English.....Returning home he endeavoured to bring his own people that were in the isle of Hii, or that were subject to that monastery, into the way of truth.
		There are several notices of Adamnan in Irish Annals, and although they are not much worth, they serve still further to show on how unsubstantial a foundation this interpolation has been built.
		Among the most conspicuous of the numerous references to Ireland given in the Ecclesiastical History, all of which have been examined, are those connected with the life of Father Egbert, who is said to have converted the monks of Hii to the proper observance of Easter.

		Rumours of a monster or animal living in the loch are claimed by believers to have been known for several centuries, though others have questioned the accuracy or relevance of such tales, which were generally unheard of before the 1960s when a strong wave of interest in legitimizing Nessie's 1930s-based history began.
		The earliest evidence is taken from the Life of St. Columba by Adamnan.
		They also point out that the event is said to have occurred on the River Ness, not in the Loch, and that Adamnan reports Columba encountering and conquering assorted "monsters", at various places in Scotland, throughout his "life".

	Interpolations in Ancient Annals
		Besides this, reference is made to a work of Adamnan’s, entitled The Holy Places, in Bede’s Ecclesiastical History and Wendover’s Flowers of History; but no notice is taken in either work of his Life of Columba.
		He was a writer of the thirteenth century, and as five hundred years had elapsed since Adamnan lived, it would have been strange to find that he had never heard or read of such a remarkable work as this Life of Columba, had it then existed.
		Turning now to the first and second books of Adamnan’s work, which were mainly written by himself, or rather alleged to have been, we find Hihernia often mentioned, but it is generally accompanied by the word Scotia, in the sentence immediately preceding or following.
