John O'Meara has translated one the most famous and enduring stories of western Christendom, the Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis, which was written in Ireland possibly as early as the year 800. While the routes of Saint Brendan's journeys remain a subject of controversy, the tale itself is of great interest. The Voyage of Saint Brendan presents the late Professor O'Meara's translation of the only scientific edition of the original Latin text, with his introduction and is illustrated by the relevant woodcuts from a German version of the tale, Sankt Brandans Seefahrt, printed in Augsburg in 1476.
