description: A translation from the Latin of one of the most famous and enduring stories of western Christendom, the Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis, written in Ireland perhaps as early as the year 800. While the routes of St. Brendan's journeys remain a subject of controversy, the tale itself is of great interest—a strongly integrated text which derives from several centuries of Irish literary tradition."A worthwhile book in every respect." - Choice."A fascinating book." - The Irish Times.
