The textual transmission of Adomnán’s Vita Columbae (ca. 699) ensured that the cult of Columba was transmitted across the European continent throughout the Middle Ages. With the Anglican Reformation, his figure and that of the Churches of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with the uniqueness of their practices, served to defend that the history of the Church of England was that of a ‘Celtic Church’ independent of Rome. The English Catholic priest Philip Mark Perry, Rector of the English College of Valladolid between 1768 and 1774, wrote in his Sketch of the Ancient British History (unpublished until 2009) a sketch of Columba’s life and debunked the myth of the so-called ‘Celtic Church,’ two hundred years ahead of the most important debates on the British Churches.
