John the scot (9 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Johannes Scotus (c. 800-c. 877), who signed himself as Eriugena in one manuscript, and who was referred to by his contemporaries as the Irishman is the most significant Irish intellectual of the early monastic period.

The two items are in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: Manuscript Letter Signed by 'Ulster Scot.' 1p, 8vo. Begins: 'Dear Rev Sir / Glad to see you took up the "cudgels" on behalf of the "Ulster Scot."'
