Pangur Bán read by Jason Goldtrap

Pangur Bán is an Old Irish poem, written in the 8th century in the area of the Reichenau abbey by an Irish monk about his cat. Although the poem is anonymous, it bears similarities to the poetry of Sedulius Scottus, leading to speculation that he might have been the author (Greene and O'Connor 1967). Pangur Bán, "white waulker", is the cat's name. In 8 verses of four lines, the author compares the cat's activities with his own scholarly pursuits.

Read by Jason Goldtrap, author of the novel, "Sarah Conrad of Eagle Creek."
