Description
Abstract (cited)

For some time now the consensus has been that Adomnán was drawing on several biblical texts, principally the Vulgate but also the Vetus Latina, and perhaps he had some knowledge of the Septuagint. The argument of the present paper is that his De locis sanctis provides no evidence for the presence of either a text of the Vetus Latin or the Septuagint in the library of Iona in the last quarter of the seventh century.

(fl. c.628–704)
Adomnán mac Rónáin was abbot of Iona (r. 679–704) and author of the Latin Life of St Columba and an account of the holy places of the Near East (De locis sanctis). He is credited with the proclamation of the Lex innocentium or Cáin Adomnáin at the Synod of Birr.
