The holy man, known to the Gael as Columcille and to the wider world as Columba of Iona, has endured through 14 centuries as one of the most awesome personalities of early medieval Europe. This book offers a portrait in words and pictures of the man, his world and his time. The book centres on John Gregory's new translation of "Life of Columba" written at the end of the seventh century by Adamnan, Abbot of Iona. John Marsden's introductory essays explore the vivid historical context, while the illustrations include folios from the gospel books of Kells, Durrow and Lindisfarne.

The great sixth century saint and founder-abbot of Iona, St. Columba, left a mark on history that endures to this day far beyond Celtic lands. An account of his life and deeds has come down to us in the writings of Adamnan, ninth abbot of Iona, who drew on the living memory of the saint's contemporaries. Selections from Adamnan's authoritative Life recounting the prophecies, miracles and mystical visions concerning Columba are presented here with the moving account of his death. The text is accompanied by an atmospheric photographic portrait of the landscape in which Columba lived and in which his spirit still thrives.
