About This Book

A compendium of short biographies and commemorations for saints observed in July, compiled from ancient monuments, records, and patristic writings. Each entry narrates a saint’s life, virtues, clerical or monastic labors, and often martyrdom, accompanied by critical remarks, source references, and occasional commentary on authenticity. The volume mixes hagiographical narratives with scholarly appendices, regional notes, and discussions of related texts and controversies, and provides chronological and alphabetical indexes to guide liturgical reading and historical inquiry.

ST. IDUS, BISHOP OF ATH-FADHA IN LEINSTER.

Was a worthy disciple of St. Patrick, by whom he was baptized. He is often invoked in the old Irish prayer in verse which bears the name of St. Moling. See Colgan in MSS.
