Abstract
Bishops in early medieval Ireland - The traditional view in modern historiography has been that the early Irish Church was chiefly monastic. However, the seventh- and eighth- century sources written in Ireland, both in Latin and in Old-Irish, show that, far from having being replaced by abbots, bishops continued to play a major role in the Church and in Irish society throughout the Middle Ages. Together with a new definition of the bishop's position in Irish society, the study of these texts reveal the deep interaction between Christian and native cultures.
