Bøker av St. Patrick of Ireland

While the specifics of these canons are unlikely to have been from the hand of St. Patrick, they are attributed to him. They also grant insight into some of the early issues that the Irish church was facing in the century after the death of Patrick. Full communion with Rome had yet to be achieved, and the standardization of church policies needed to be addressed. This is a document that stands as a landmark text to the Irish church and the growth of Christianity in Ireland and Scotland.
