Summary:
Roderick MacLean was commendator of the Abbey of Iona, Bishop of the Isles, & member of an extended kindred who had close connections to Iona & its abbey. After studying on the continent he held a series of ecclesiastical posts in Scotland & spent multiple sojourns on church business in Rome. During his time there in 1549 he saw through the press his Ionis Liber, or Book of the Song of Iona. Only three copies of this rare text survive, one in Aberdeen & two in Perugia, so that this edition makes it accessible to a wider readership for the first time. As well as an edition of the Latin text, they provide an English prose translation, editions & translations of other smaller works by MacLean, extensive commentary, appendices of material in the Vatican Archives relevant to MacLean's career, an extensive bibliography & index.
