White-leg
Martyrological notice
White-leg, i.e. great bright hair through his legs, or bright-white were his legs. He was a master of study and jurisprudence and history and poetry. To him once came Colum cille (as a guest), and he hid his books from the latter, and Colum cille left a (banning) word on his books, i.e. " May that as to which thou showest inhospitality be of no profit after thee ! " And this has been fulfilled, for still the books remain and no one studies them.
