Dagacus
Martyrological notice
S Dagacus, bishop (t^b^r)) °f Iniscaoin Deghadh, in Orgiel, Louth. " He was a great artificer both in brass and iron, and an eminent scribe. Made three hundred bells, three hundred croziers, and transcribed three hundred copies of the Gospels." Cal. Cas. " Idem enim Episcopis, Abbatibus, aliisque Hiberniae Sanctis, cam panas, cymbala, baculos, cruces, scrinia, capsas,pixides f calices, discos, altariola, chrysmalia, librorumque coopertoria, quaedam horum nuda, quaedam vero alia auro, atque argento, gemmisque pretiosis cireumtecta pro amore Dei, et sanctorum honore, sine ullo terreno pretio, ingeniose ac mirabiliter cora- posuit." Life of St. Dagaiyt (unpublished), Col. p. 374. The life was to be published by Colgan, at August 18th, on which day Deghadh's name occurs in Mart, but most probably it was only another feast of the same saint. August 1 8th was the principal feast. A.S.H. p. 374.
