Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of Ninian and S. Kentigern: Compiled in the Twelfth Century There is a propriety in the simultaneous publication of the Lives of S. Ninian and S. Kentigern, for not only was the scene of their apostolic labours the same, but the authors to whom we are indebted for their mention were so nearly contemporaneous, that the three narratives form a trilogy complete in itself. Indeed, between the works of S. Ailred and Joceline there is a remarkable similarity of manner and of sentiment. The tone of thought which runs through these books is the same, and the most prejudiced critic must allow that they display an interesting picture of a very remarkable epoch in the history of Scotland, when both the civil constitution was undergoing a remarkable development, and the ecclesiastical polity exhibiting great vitality.
