ABSTRACT
A vision of heaven and hell erroneously attributed to Adamnán (6257–704 CE), abbot of Hy and lona, biographer of St. Columba. Middle Irish. Part One (sections 1–20) dates from the eleventh century; Part Two (sections 21–30) from early tenth. The work appears in two famous Irish manuscripts, both in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin: The Book of the Dun Cow and The Speckled Book, and two other manuscripts. This work, which is approximately 500 words long, shows the influence of the Seven Heavens Apocryphon, the Vision of Paul, and the writings of Gregory the Great.
