Saint Machar

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Saint_Machar an entity of type: Thing

Machar di Aberdeen (... – ...) è stato un missionario e vescovo irlandese. Le poche notizie sulla sua vita sono tratte dal Breviario di Aberdeen: di origine irlandese, fu missionario, accompagnatore di San Colombano in Scozia, vescovo sull'isola di Mull della quale è ritenuto l'evangelizzatore. Fu nominato, in tarda età, arcivescovo di Tours, in Francia, da papa Gregorio Magno. La tradizione vuole che l'acqua del pozzo di San Machar fosse un tempo utilizzata per i battesimi officiati nella cattedrale. Esiste, nella biblioteca universitaria di Cambridge, una “Vita” del santo redatta nel XIV secolo. rdf:langString
Machar war ein irischstämmiger Mönch und Missionar der iroschottischen Kirche, der im 6. Jahrhundert vor allem in Schottland tätig war. Machar, der Legende nach ein irischer Adliger, wurde durch Bischof Colman getauft. Zusammen mit Kolumban „dem Älteren“ gelangte er zuerst auf die Insel Iona und trieb später auf der Insel Mull und vor allem in der Gegend um Aberdeen die Missionierung piktischer Stämme voran. Fälschlicherweise wird Machar oftmals auch als erster Bischof der Diözese Aberdeen, deren Ursprung jedoch bei Dufftown ist, bezeichnet. Einen Bischof gab es jedoch erst um das Jahr 1000. In jüngster Zeit wird auch die Behauptung aufgestellt, dass Machar und der heilige Mungo ein und dieselbe Person seien. rdf:langString
Machar was a 6th-century Irish Saint active in Scotland. A Bishop of Irish origin, Machar is said to have been a former nobleman, baptized by St Colman. He came to Iona with Columba and preached in Mull and later ministered to the Picts around Aberdeen. For this reason he was described anachronistically as the first Bishop of the see of Aberdeen. His legend, however, in the Aberdeen breviary makes him "Archbishop of Tours", appointed by Gregory the Great for the last few years of his life. This story deserves no credence. Water from his well was used for baptism in Aberdeen Cathedral. A few dedications survive from this area. rdf:langString

Die St.-Machar-Kathedrale in der Altstadt von Aberdeen führt ihre Gründung auf Machar, im Jahr 580, zurück und ist deshalb auch nach ihm benannt.

Water from his well was used for baptism in Aberdeen Cathedral. A few dedications survive from this area. Much of what is claimed to be known about St Machar derives from the Aberdeen Breviary, a work compiled in the late fifteenth to early sixteenth centuries, long after the traditional date of Machar's life. It is therefore hard to assess its reliability. One recent theory is that St Machar and St Mungo were the same person, on the grounds of a possible link between their names (Colm Ó Baoill, St Machar - some linguistic light?, Innes Review XLIV, p. 1-13).
