WHICH Usher interprets the Ivy-Cave, in the diocese of Lethglean, in
Leinster, in the sixth century. He had for disciple St. Comgal, the
founder of the abbey of Benchor, and master of St. Columban. Colgan
reckons twenty-four Irish saints of the name of Fintan; but probably
several of these were the same person honored in several places. Another
St. Fintan, surnamed Munnu, who is honored on the 21st of October, was
very famous. See Colgan, Usher, and Henschenius.
