Vita Sancti Niniani
The ''Vita Sancti Niniani'' ("Life of Saint Ninian") or simply ''Vita Niniani'' ("Life of Ninian") is a Latin language Christian hagiography written in northern England in the mid-12th century. Using two earlier Anglo-Latin sources, it was written by Ailred of Rievaulx seemingly at the request of a Bishop of Galloway. It is loosely based on the career of the early British churchman Uinniau or Finnian, whose name through textual misreadings was rendered "Ninian" by high medieval English and Anglo-Norman writers, subsequently producing a distinct cult. Saint Ninian was thus an "unhistorical doppelganger" of someone else.〔Phrase used by Fraser, ''Caledonia to Pictland'', p. 71〕 The ''Vita'' tells "Ninian's" life-story, and relates ten miracles, six during the saint's lifetime and four posthumous.
==Authorship==
The author was almost certainly Ailred of Rievaulx. Historian John MacQueen raised doubts about this authorship in 1990, pointing out that Ailred's biographer Walter Daniel did not list it among the works of Ailred.〔Broun, "Literary Record", p. 150; MacQueen, ''St Nynia'', pp. 4, 125, n. 7〕 Ailred's authorship is still accepted by most historians however, on the basis that Ailred is identified as the author in one of the two manuscripts, while in the other manuscript the ''Vita'' forms part of a collection of Ailred's works.〔Fraser, "Northumbrian Whithorn", p. 40, n. 1〕 It is thought to have been Ailred's first work of hagiography.〔Dutton, "Introduction", in Freeland and Dutton (eds.), ''Live of Northern Saints'', p. 10〕
