Abstract (cited)

This paper gives an example of a historical-critical study of Adomnán’s Vita Sancti Columbae, ii 27, which reconstructs the episode of the encounter with a monster as a natural, historical event. However, the episode is presented as a miracle:—it therefore treats of the extraordinary and supernatural. Hence a literary approach is also offered, one which attempts to find the miracle’s message by comparing it with its possible source.
