Saint Colmán Elo (555 – 26 September 611) was born in Glenelly, Ireland in what is now County Tyrone. He is famed in Irish hagiography.〔 ==Life== Colmán was founder and first Abbot of Muckamore, and from the fact of being titled as the successor (''coarb'') of Mac Nisse", is regarded as Bishop of Connor. Colmán studied under his maternal uncle, St. Columba, who procured for him the site of a monastery now known as Lynally (Lann Elo). Hence his designation of Colmán Elo or in Latinised form, Colmanellus. Subsequently he founded the Abbey of Muckamore, and was appointed Bishop of Connor. He is also known as St. Colmán Macusailni. He was the author of ''Airgitir Crábaid'', the earliest surviving example of Old Irish prose Colmán is believed to be the real author of a work ascribed to Secundinus, ''The Hymn of St. Secundinus'' in praise of Saint Patrick.〔Carney, ''The Problem of St. Patrick'', pp. 40–46.〕 He died at Lynally on 26 September 611, the day his feast is celebrated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colmán Elo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
