Saint Patrick: Apostle of Ireland

The enigmatic Saint Patrick is perhaps the most widely known saint...about whom very little is widely known. This is the perfect book for anyone who wishes to learn more about this popular Saint. Combining an authoritative account of Saint Patrick's life and deeds with his own writings, and illustrated throughout with handsome engravings, it is sure to please all ages.

 Originally published in 1911, this authoritative account of Saint Patrick's life and deeds seeks to balance the many popular legends with the best scholarship of the day. Moreover, those works which are reliably attributed to Saint Patrick--namely his Confession, his Epistle to Coroticus, and his Prayer before Tara (also known as St. Patrick's Breastplate)--can be found in their entirety in the appendix.

From the Notre Dame Series of Lives of the Saints.
