This website is the first point of contact for information on the Confessio of St. Patrick. It was created as part of the HyperStack Project, a project initiated by the Royal Irish Academy and several other Irish institutions. Their aim is to provide information on the Irish patron St. Patrick by providing access to his works. Accordingly, the website offers St. Patrick´s Confessio, his Epistola in Latin and translations in several modern languages (English, German, Italian etc.). For Medieval Studies, the digitisation of eight manuscripts of the Confessio from the 9th to the 17th century might be very useful as there are five manuscripts from the 11th and 12th century. For the history of reception, the digitisation of the two early modern and the four 20th century prints might be of interest. The website also includes “Special Features” such as scholarly articles, bibliographies and further texts on St. Patrick.
