Description

Explore the deep connections between seventh-century Northumbria and Gaelic scholarship in this scholarly work from the Richard Rawlinson Center. This text examines how professional poets, known as filid, established a high social status through formal training and cooperation with the Church. By studying the bilingual intellectual culture of Old Gaelic and Latin, readers gain insight into the innovative environment of the time. Bede documented how Anglo-Saxon students traveled to Ireland to access free education during this dynamic period. This publication details how Gaelic scholars, or sapientes, produced influential texts that shaped the development of Anglo-Saxon scholarship through contact with both ecclesiastical and secular Gaelic traditions.
