The ''Martyrology of Tallaght'', which is closely related to the ''Félire Oengusso'' or ''Martyrology of Óengus the Culdee'', is an eighth- or ninth-century martyrology, a list of saints and their feast days assembled by Máel Ruain and/or Óengus the Culdee at Tallaght Monastery, near Dublin. The '' Martyrology of Tallaght'' is in prose and contains two sections for each day of the year, one general and one for Irish saints. It also has a prologue and an epilogue.〔Welch, Robert, & Bruce Stewart, ''The Oxford Companion to Irish Literature'' (Oxford University Press, 1996, ISBN 978-0-19-866158-0), (p. 359 ) at google.co.uk〕 ==''Prologue'' and Irish paganism== The prologue contains a famous verse on the declining pagan faith in Ireland:
which reads in translation as ''The old cities of the pagans to which length of occupation has refused are deserts without worship like Lugaid's House-site.'' ''The little monastic sites that were settled by twos and threes are Romes with multitudes, with thousands.'' 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「Martyrology of Tallaght」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
