Scarcely a parish in Ireland is without one or more dedications to saints, in the form of churches in ruins, holy wells or other ecclesiastical monuments. Professor Pádraig Ó Riain's Dictionary of Irish Saints is intended to serve as a guide to the (mainly documentary) sources of information on the saints named in these dedications, for those who have an interest in them, scholarly or otherwise. The need for a summary biographical dictionary of Irish saints, containing information on such matters as feastdays, localisations, chronology, and genealogies, although stressed over sixty years ago by the eminent Jesuit and Bollandist scholar, Paul Grosjean, has never before been satisfied. Professor Ó Riain has been working in the field of Irish hagiography for upwards of forty years, and the material for the over 1,000 entries in his Dictionary has come from a variety of sources, including Lives of the saints, martyrologies, genealogies of the saints, shorter tracts on the saints (some of them accessible only in manuscripts), annals, annates, collections of folklore, Ordnance Survey letters, and other documents. Running to almost 700 pages, the body of the Dictionary is preceded by a Preface, List of Sources and Introduction, and is followed by comprehensive Indices of Parishes, Other Places (mainly townlands), Alternate (mainly Anglicised) Names, Subjects, and Feastdays. Professor Ó Riain's Dictionary has been described as 'an astonishingly comprehensive, intelligent and well-organized work'; it is unlikely to be superseded for many decades to come.

Excerpt from Religion of the Ancient Irish Saints Before A. D. 600Permit me to lay before you, as shortly as I possibly can in a matter of such importance, and requiring so much research, the Christian Catholic Faith, as it was professed and taught in this Island of Saints, by those men, on account of whose superior sanctity, learning, and seal, Ireland has been given this name. Their mamor is justly held in reverence b you; and u will allow, that whatever those ho y men tang t your cestors to believe, must be the true faith for you to re ceive, if there be any sense in the argument which is often put before you, and with truth-that their re ligion' was the religion of the Apostles.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Ancient Irish Saints, Etc That converts to Christianity were in Ireland before the arrival there of St. Patrick, is admitted by all good historians. Palladius, who was sent by Pope Celestine to Ireland, A.D. 431, but who remained in that country only a very short time, was sent to the "Scots that believe in Christ." This sentence proves two things: first, that the ancient Irish were called "Scots," and secondly, that there were Christians already in the land. It is said that they had Bishops amongst them, and therefore some species of authorized Church constitution.
