FYI,
I just received a copy of Thomas Kinsella's translation of Faeth
Fiadha (Breastplate of St. Patrick, 1961, Dolmen Press). Don't know
if anyone has already found Messingham's Florilegium, so this may be
irrelevant, but the frontispiece of Kinsella's book is the Leonaard
Gaultier engraving of St. Patrick. The engraving itself has the
date 1619.
It shows St. Patrick with a double-peaked mitre, a staff/crozier
with a Cross of Lorraine in his left hand, his right hand raised,
etc. The church is on his right and has a distinctive architecture.
It should be identifiable. There is a "flock" of people on either
side of Patrick. An angel flies above to his left. There are
mountains and trees in the background. I see lots of serpents. I
don't see no stinking Pegasus, but there is a small dragon. This
could be like one of those "Highlights for Children" find-the-hidden-
picture pages. I'll keep looking.
The print is very small and I don't have a glass handy, but I'm
resonably sure that none of the three scrolls bears the coins'
legends.
I will post a picture if anyone knows of a way that I can legally do
so.
Thanks,
