词条 | Oengus, Saint |
释义 | Oengus, Saint Irish saint also called Oengus the Culdee born 9th century, near Clonenagh, Ireland; feast day March 11 monk who was the author of the Félire, the first known Irish martyrology and calendar. He was associated with a movement that aimed at the reform of Irish monasticism. The reformed monks called themselves Culdees—i.e., Companions of God. What little is known about Oengus is mainly derived from a poem in a manuscript of Félire, which he composed c. 800. He was a monk at Clonenagh, County Leix, then became a pupil of the prominent monastic reformer Máelrúain of Tallaght, near Dublin. Later, Oengus founded his own church, Dísert-Oengusa, in County Leix. |
