Excerpt from Ancient Lives of Scottish Saints The following pages contain translation of the principal Lives in the new and enlarged edition of Pinkertons Vita Antiques Sanctorum Scotia, which was issued some years ago. Two of them - that of S. Columba by Cuimine the Fair, and the Life or Legend of S. Servanus - are, so far as I can make out, here published in English for the first time. The pieces in the collection just referred to which are not here translated are either passed over entirely or reserved for another possible volume in which may be included translations of Ancient Lives of other of the Scottish saints. All through, my endeavour has been to keep as near to the original text as possible, and to make the translation as accurate a reflection of the different styles of the various authors as my own skill in translating and the idioms of modern English would allow. While making the translations I have consulted such other translations as were accessible to me, and have frequently been indebted to them for what has seemed to me a better rendering than my own. The translation of the Magnus Life was made during my summer vacation in 1890, but while the sheets were passing through the press, I have had the advantage of comparing them with Sir George Dasent's recently published translations of the Greater and Lesser Magnus Sagas. By altering the position of the chapters taken by Jonaeus from the Lesser Saga, and by adding several paragraphs to them from the same source, I have tried to make this Life more full, continuous, and complete, and have included in it the narrative given in the Lesser Saga of the foundation of Kirkwall Cathedral by Rognvald Kali.

Whatever opinions one may have on the value or interest of Saints' lives in general, there can be no question as to those translated by Dr. Metcalfe, which have for Scotsmen an interest independent of their ecclesiastical connections. The work embraces nearly the whole of the Latin lives originally published by Pinkerton in 1789, and re-edited in a greatly improved form by the translator in 1889 in two volumes. The only omissions in the present volume are the various offices, of which a translation would be both difficult and of no great interest, and some smaller lives of minor value. It thus includes the lives of six famous Scottish Saints.-- Ninian, Columba, Kentigern, Servanus or Serf, Queen Margaret, and Earl Magnus of the Orkneys; and although several of these were already accessible in English versions, it is of great advantage to have them all translated side by side, and by the same hand in so correct and readable a version as Dr. Metcalfe's. While the student will find it impossible to dispense with either the text or the notes of the Latin edition, the translation is sure to be welcomed by the general reader who is interested in the history of Scotland, whether from a social or ecclesiastical point of view. In the former connection Dr. Metcalfe has in his introduction given a useful summary of everything in the Legends which throws light on the stage of civilization reflected in them, in which a great deal of their historic value consists. The Lives, as is natural, differ widely in style and in value. Of particular interest is the Life of Columba by Cuimine, here translated for the first time in its original shape, although it is practically incorporated in the better known work of Adamnan. It is scarcely a life of the saint in the usual sense, but rather a collection of miracles performed by him, and this, indeed, is also the real character of Adamnan's work, a great part of which is made up of what in a more secular person would have been alleged as instances of second-sight. In strong contrast to the precision with which these lives give names and places for their miracles are the short and rather vague life of Ninian by Ailred of Rievaux, and the more ambitious one of Kentigern by Jocelin. In both of these the anthors have overlaid their somewhat scanty material by a studied exuberance of rhetoric, which the translation has carefully and successfully preserved....--The Scottish Review, Volume 25 [1895]
