St. Adamnan, Abbot of Iona, was born at Drumhome, County Donegal, Ireland, c. 624; died at the Abbey of Iona, in 704. He was educated by the Columban monks of his native place, subsequently becoming a novice at Iona in 650. In 679 he succeeded to the abbacy of Iona, which position he held up to his death. From a literary point of view, St. Adamnan takes the very highest place as the biographer of St. Columba.
