Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fasti Ecclesiae Hibernicae, Vol. 4: The Succession of the Prelates and Members of the Cathedral Bodies in Ireland; The Province of Connaught A. D. 501 (circa). St. J arlath, a man of great learning, and exemplary purity of life, is said to have founded a monastery at a place called Cluain-fois, near Tuam, about the beginning of the sixth century. To this mo nastery he attached a school, in which, among other eminent scholars, St. Brendan, afterwards Abbat of Clonfert, and St. Colman, the first Bishop of Cloyne, were educated under his inspection. Soon afterwards he erected a cathedral church in T uam, and became its first Bishop. He lived to a great age. The time of his death is not exactly known, but is believed to be about the year 540. Ware has stated that certain Prophecies, which are still extant, have been attributed to J arlath; but he is of Opinion that they are the production of some one of his successors at a far more recent period.
