It will be seen, therefore, that notwithstanding the conformity of divine offices established between the Irish Church and the Church of England, by the synod of Cashel, in 1172, many Irish saints con- tinued to hold their places in the Anglo-Irish Calendar; and as many of those above noticed are recent insertions, it would seem as if the Church had become more Irish in this respect than it was imme- diately after the conquest. In the Breviaries of Clondalkin, and of the parish church of St. John the Evangelist, now preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, there is a still greater number of Irish saints introduced into the Calendar. And many of these are stated to have been made double feasts, by “ the constitutions of Dublin.” f Kieran, or Ciaran, Abbot of Clonmac- nois ; ob. Sept. 9, A. D. 549. 8 St. Barr, or Finbar, first Bishop of Cork. See Butler. h Mai achy, Archbishop of Armagh, A. D. 1134-1137. See his Life by St. Bernard. 1 In the Breviary of Clondalkin already quoted, this feast is entered thus: “ S. Laurentii othohil, Archiepiscopi Dublin.” Called Buide in the Martyrology of Aengus (ad 7 Dec.) He is now called St. Baoithin, in the County of Louth ; and his name has been anglicised Boice, Boyne, and Bute. From him the Abbey of Mo- nasterboice (M(masteriurn Boetii), takes its name. The Four Masters record his death under the year 521. “ S. 6uice mac 6ponnac Bppoj lTlainipqie oecc. un. Decembpip.” “ S. Buite, son of Bron- nac, Bishop of Monaster [i. e. of the Mo- nastery, as this Abbey was generally called], died, the 7th of December.” k The words of the synod are as fol- low : “ Itaque omnia divina ad instar sacrosancte ecclesie iuxta quod Anglicana observat ecclesia, in omnibus partibus ec- clesie amodo tractentur. Dignum etenim et iustissimum est ut sicut dominum et regem ex Anglia sortita divinitus est Hibernia, sic eciam exinde vivendi for- mam accipiat meliorem.” Alani Reg. l'ol. 155, «.
