About this book
Before telling the story of Patrick, J. B. Bury sifts the evidence for it, and that method is the point of this 1905 biography. In the preface he explains that he came to the saint through the history of the Roman Empire and the conversion of northern Europe, comparing him with missionaries such as Wulfilas, Augustine and Boniface. He found earlier writing clouded by controversy, with some doubting that Patrick had existed, and he faults an earlier life by Todd for lacking a methodical study of its sources. Bury was Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge.
