[Saint Patrick in FW]

historical 5thC

Ulysses includes a lot of passing references to many of these aspects of Patrick's life, legend and legacy

Patrick is misremembered by Mamalujo ("the landing of St Patrick in the year 1798") and plays the silent straightman in the early Berkeley vignette ("silent whiterobed Patrick" → "Patrick the albed" → "the his mister guest Patrick with alb the whose throat he fast all time what time all him Italyman monkfellas with Patrick he drink up words belongahim") This is fleshed out in the published version.

St Kevin, who followed a couple of generations later, gets his own vignette with hints of Patrick's details

Joyce's sources included Patrick's own Confessio and Breastplate, the Tripartite Life, Bury's Life of St. Patrick, Kinane's St. Patrick, Flood's Ireland, Its Saints and Scholars, Cross & Slover's Ancient Irish Tales, Czarnowski's Le Culte des Héros, Riguet's Saint Patrice
