Who was Columba, and how much of the man can we recover beneath the stories of the saint?
The Black Archive examines Columba’s life and legacy, asking how religious writing shapes historical memory. What can the sources establish, what were their authors trying to convey, and where should certainty give way to doubt?
An exploration of belief, authority and the distance between a life and its legend.
Researched and written by The Black Archive Research.
