This #Christmas carol is attributed to Aodh Mac Aingil (1571-1626), a theologian and philosopher who worked in the #IrishColleges in Leuvan and Rome, most importantly on the philosophy of #DunsScotus. A proficient poet, he may have studied first at a bardic school.

23 Dec 1915: Edwin Rabbitte was born #OTD in 1915.
He was Professor of #philosophy in University College #Galway (known today as the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG)) for many years.
"he first initiated me into philosophy as ‘radical thinking’ – getting to the roots of things" – Felix Ó Murchadha (Formation of the Self).
He wrote on #PhilosophyOfScience, #cosmology and #theology. A partial list of his papers: https://philpapers.org/s/Edwin%20Rabbitte
#IrishFranciscans worked on the philosophy of John #DunsScotus due to him being a Franciscan AND due to the mistaken belief that he hailed from Co. Down in Ireland.
They fiercely defended his Irishness, including against Thomas Dempster, a writer who claimed everyone from Boudicca to John Scottus Eriugena as Scottish.
