Colgan, John (1592-c. 1657)

Irish writer, born near Carndonagh, County Donegal, Colgan travelled to Spain and joined a Franciscan order in 1618. He is remembered for two works that chronicle the lives of saints: Acta Sanctorum Hiberniae (1645), concerning saints with feast days between 1 January and 30 March; and Triadis Thaumaturgae (1647), which describes saints Patrick, Brigid, and Columba (Colum Cille).
