CAMPS Lab: Rosemary Power, Iona Nunnery and Its Norse-Gaelic Context

This Lab is hybrid with Rosemary Power zooming in from Iona! Those in Galway still be meeting in HRB G010 at 12 noon, Friday 21^st April, and lunch and discussion will follow as usual.

Rosemary will be speaking on ‘Iona Nunnery and Its Norse-Gaelic Context’:

This seminar paper concerns the foundation of the Augustinian nunnery on Iona in the late twelfth century, and the re-establishment of the Columban monastery as Benedictine some years later, with the consequent  reusing of some of the architectural features. It also considers the site and the orientation of the buildings. While the main influence seems to have been Irish practice, the nunnery was situated  within the archdiocese of Niðaróss [modern Trondheim], and the Norse influence is also considered.
