For those of us from further east using this term for the 8th and 9th C seems to be stretching 'early' a little too far. Irish ecclesiastical scholars were, by then, engaged in educating the rest of Carolingian Europe and were, presumably, working from a Iestynhttp://independent.academia.edu/IestynJonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959214249692890186.post-71918861262309817182011-10-05T11:44:24.818+01:002011-10-05T11:44:24.818+01:00Thank you!

As I said in the notes at the end - there was just so much information, it was hard to keep up with all of it.<br /><br />Personally, I would love to see the dates, if you don't mind.
