Adomnan And The Holy Places

Adomnan, ninth abbot of Iona, wrote his book, "On The Holy Places", in the closing years of the seventh century. This work shows how Adomnan's work can be used to study the nature of scriptural studies in the Latin world of the time, and perceptions of space, relics, pilgrimage, and Islam. It also exposes the theological world of the Carolingians.
