James O’Leary gathers the earliest sources for Ireland’s apostle in one volume. Patrick’s own Confession and his Epistle to Coroticus come first, followed by Fiech’s metrical life, the long Tripartite Life and the twelfth-century life by Jocelin, full of miracles, tamed dogs, converted chieftains and contests with King Leogaire’s druids.
