'''Saint Aileran the Wise''' (died December 29, 664 or 665), also known as Ailerán Sapiens or Aileran of Clonard, was a 7th-century Irish monk, scholar, and saint, renowned as one of the most distinguished teachers at the monastic school of Clonard, contributing to the Golden Age of Irish learning.<ref name="newadvent">{{Cite web|url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01234c.htm|title=St. Aileran|publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia|access-date=2025-10-20}}</ref> According to the ''Annals of Ulster'' and hagiographic traditions, Aileran was drawn to Clonard by the fame of St. Finnián and his disciples, becoming a lector (scriptural teacher) around 650; little is known of his early life, with probabilistic origins in Meath or nearby, educated in patristic literature including Origen, Philo, Jerome, and Augustine.<ref name="wiki">{{Cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileran|title=Aileran|publisher=Wikipedia|access-date=2025-10-20}}</ref> Attributed works include the ''Mystical Interpretation of the Ancestry of Our Lord Jesus Christ'' (a commentary on Matthew's genealogy), a fragment on sacred names, the Fourth Life of St. Patrick, a Latin litany, and lives of St. Brigid and St. Féichín of Fore, though modern scholarship debates some ascriptions by 17th-century hagiographer John Colgan.<ref name="newadvent" /> | '''Saint Aileran the Wise''' (died December 29, 664 or 665), also known as Ailerán Sapiens or Aileran of Clonard, was a 7th-century Irish monk, scholar, and saint, renowned as one of the most distinguished teachers at the monastic school of Clonard, contributing to the Golden Age of Irish learning.<ref name="newadvent">{{Cite web|url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01234c.htm|title=St. Aileran|publisher=New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia|access-date=2025-10-20}}</ref> According to the ''Annals of Ulster'' and hagiographic traditions, Aileran was drawn to Clonard by the fame of St. Finnián and his disciples, becoming a lector (scriptural teacher) around 650; little is known of his early life, with probabilistic origins in Meath or nearby, educated in patristic literature including Origen, Philo, Jerome, and Augustine.<ref name="wiki">{{Cite web|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileran|title=Aileran|publisher=Wikipedia|access-date=2025-10-20}}</ref> Attributed works include the ''Mystical Interpretation of the Ancestry of Our Lord Jesus Christ'' (a commentary on Matthew's genealogy), a fragment on sacred names, the Fourth Life of St. Patrick, a Latin litany, and lives of St. Brigid and St. Féichín of Fore, though modern scholarship debates some ascriptions by 17th-century hagiographer John Colgan.<ref name="newadvent" /> | ||
