Must’ve been stashed there by the Sandy Berger of his day.

The first tangible link between early Christianity in Ireland and the Middle-Eastern Coptic Church.

Off hand I’d say the newsies are trying to make much ado about nothing. The Romans had long established outposts throughout Britain and it would not have been out of the realm of possibility for them to establish outposts in Ireland. Rather than coming from some previously unknown Egyptian trade, I’d wager that the psalm book written in Latin as it is, probably came from the Romans. Especially since the Romans imported so many trade goods from Egypt.

I guess I didn’t know there was supposed to be a connection. I always thought the Catholic Church was the connection.

Wonder if the psalter had ever belonged to St Patrick or
one of his acolytes?

The Greeks had contacts all over long before the Romans and far after... into Byzantium.
