Note 190 — X THE NATURAL WONDERS OF IRELAND
Laurence Marcellus Larson translation
Giraldus calls this island the Purgatory of Saint Patrick; but this famous place was “on an island in Lough Derg, in county Donegal.” Opera, V, 82-83 and note. It seems likely, however, that two different legends have been confused in the Welshman’s account.
