″It is solely the historical aspect and worth of the two tracts herewith presented that appealed to their editor and first suggested to him their preparation for publication. Had preparation in question depended for its motive merely on consdierations of the texts’ philologic interest or value it would, to speak frankly, never have been undertaken. The editor, who disclaims qualification as a philologist, regards these Lives as very valuable historical material, publication of which may serve to light up some dark corners of our Celtic ecclesiastical past” (from Preface)
