What it is

An itinerary of the churches Patrick was said to have founded across the north and west of Ireland, church by church and district by district.

Why it lasted

Less a life than a property claim, and for that reason an unmatched record of early Irish ecclesiastical geography.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
