Cumméne Findの英語

Cumméne Find (Latinised, Cummeneus Albus, Cumméne "the White") was the seventh abbot of Iona (657–669). It was during Cumméne's abbacy that the Northumbrians decided against the Gaelic dating of Easter at the Synod of Whitby, resulting in the loss of control of the Ionan offshoot Gaelic church at Lindisfarne. In 664, the last Gaelic abbot/bishop of Lindisfarne, Colmán, resigned his post and returned to Iona. It was during Cumméne's abbacy that the Book of Durrow was first produced, although this probably happened at Durrow itself, rather than Iona. Cumméne is known to have visited Ireland in 663, perhaps on a tour of daughter houses. He is known to have written a now largely lost Vita of Columba. He died on February 24, 669.
