FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 35

BEDE, HISTORIA ECCLESIASTICA, IV, 4 ;
VOL. I. PP. 213-214. l
How bishop Colman left Britain and made two monasteries
in Scotia, one for the Scots, the other for the English, whom he
had brought with him.
Meanwhile 2 Colman, who was bishop from Scotland,
left Britain and took with him all the Scots whom he had
collected in the island of the monks of Lindisfarne, and also
of the nation of the Angles about thirty men, both parties
of whom were imbued with the studies of monastic life. And
he left several brethren in his church, and came first to the
island of lona, whence he had been sent to preach the word
to the nation of the Angles.
Then he departed to a certain small island which, far
sundered from Ireland on the western side, is called in Scottish
speech Inishboffin that ; is, the island of the white cow-calf. 3
Arriving in this island, therefore, he built a monastery, and
placed therein the monks whom he had brought, gathered
from either race.
And when they in turn could not agree, because that
the Scots in the summer time, when the harvest was to be
gathered, left the monastery and wandered about, scattered
through districts known to them but ; yet returned when
winter came, and desired to use in common the things which
the English had prepared, Colman sought a remedy for this
discord, and going about everywhere near and far found in
the island of Ireland a place called Mayo in the Scottish tongue,
suited for the building of a monastery. And he bought a
small part of it from the earl to whose possession it belonged,
to establish a monastery there ; this condition being added,
that the monks abiding there should offer prayers to the
Lord also for him who allowed them the place.
And immediately he built a monastery, the earl also and
all the neighbours helping ; and placed there the Angles,
leaving the Scots in the aforesaid isle. And this monastery
to wit is held to this day by Angles as its residents. . . .

2 I.e. before A.D. 672. Colman settled in Inishboffin in 668, according to
Tigh.,-(667 according to Ann. of Ulst. and Four Masters ;) and died in 676
(Tigh. ; but cf. Ann. of Ulst., s.a. 675 ; F.M., s.a. 674.)
3 More correctly " the island of the white heifer " as in A.S. Vers., i, 272.
Inishboffin lies off Aghros Point, in Galway.
