Christian saints -- Ireland -- Biography; Ireland -- Church history -- To 1172; Patrick, Saint, 373?-463?
[257] 14. 2. c; 17. 7. b; 17. 9. b; 18. 2. a; 20. 3. a; 20. 3. c; 20.
5. a; 21. 2; 33. 1. f; 35. 4. c; 41. 6. a and b; 42. 7; 42. 25. a; 45.
13; 45. 14; 46. 29; 52. 2; 52. 3; 52. 6; 56. 4. a; 66. 16. To these may
be added three other items: 20. 6. a, _institutio Romana_; 28. 5. b
and 33. 4, _disputatio Romana_. Also 42. 23 _Sinodus Romana_, but the
chapter is found only in one MS.; and in 3. 4 one MS. has an additional
quotation from _Synodus Romanorum_. I do not include 42. 24, because the
heading _eadem sinodus_ may be referred to the heading of c. 22 _Sinodus
Hibernensis_, and not to the heading of 23 _Sinodus Romana_, which, as I
have mentioned, is found in only one MS. (Sangallensis).
[258] Here are the two sections:—
e. _Sinodus Romana_: Omnis qui fraudat debitum fratris ritu
gentilium excommunis sit donec reddiderit. f. _Item_: Qua
fronte rogas a Deo debitum tibi dimitti cum debitum proximi tui
non reddidisti?
[259] It may be observed that in the Valicellane MS. we find some
instances of _Hibernensis uel Romana_; 33. 4, 6, and 9.
[260] 11. 1. b; 20. 5. b; 21. 12; 21. 6. b; 25. 3; 25. 4; 29. 7; 37. 27;
37. 29; 42. 26. b; 44. 9; 46. 32. b; 47. 11. b; 67. 2. d. Of these 37.
29 has the curious heading _Sinodus totius mundi et Patricius decreuit_
(with the variants _Sinodus Hibernensis et Pat. decr._, and simply
_Sinodus Hibernensis_).
[261] 21. 25 occurs only in one MS., 37. 6 in two.
[262] 25. 3 and 4.
[263] In Ware’s _S. Patricio ... adscripta Opuscula_ (London, 1656, a
rare little volume), pp. 85-7. See below, p. 245.
[264] “Brit. ecc. ant.,” in _Opera_, vol. vi. p. 491. The same view was
urged by Varin. But neither Ussher nor Varin gave positive proof.
[265] It is officially recognised in the 40th canon of the Fourth Council
of Toledo, A.D. 633.
[266] Cp. the 15th canon of Nicaea, Mansi, ii. 200.
[267] So too in the _Hibernensis_, i. 22, a and c.
[268] _Fastes épiscopaux de l’ancienne Gaule_, vol. i. p. 41.
[269] Cp. also canon 27 of the Council of Hippo, A.D. 393 (Mansi, iii.
923): ut episcopi non proficiscantur trans mare nisi consulto primae
sedis episcopo suae cuiusque prouinciae, ut ab eo praecipue possint
formatas sumere.
[270] Printed by Pamelius in his edition of Cyprian; by Ware in his
_Opuscula_ of St. Patrick (1656); by Migne, _P.L._ 40, 649 _sqq._
[271] For his alleged relationship see below, p. 292.
[272] To this rule the MSS. present two exceptions, which should be
corrected: v. 70, _praeuidit_, which has been corrected to _praeuidet_
(cp. Atkinson, _Lib. Hymn._ ii. 13), and v. 66, _qui ornatur uestimento
nuptiale indūtus_, where we ought evidently to read _inclŭtus_.
