Thank you for this. Do you have access to the Latin text of the Confessio and letter to Coroticus? Latin Library doesn't include St. Patrick among the Christian authors. (I don't like to read translations.)

I used to joke that St. P was Italian (as is my ancestry), and while it appears he wasn't he was a Roman and where did they come from?

Happy St.Patrick's Day and don't forget St.Joseph's Day (patron Saint of Italy) - this coming Sunday.
