This essay presents the Scandinavian runic graffiti scratched on a wall of the cave where the Irish hermite Molaise of Leighlin (6th-7th century AD) spent his early years, on Holy Island, a small isle off the West coast of Scotland inside the Lamlash Bay, in the south-east of the Isle of Arran. By a close examination of the epigraphic and linguistic features of the graffiti, an attempt will be made to date them and identify their authors and the possible occasion of their stay on Holy Island.

Abstract
This essay presents the Scandinavian runic graffiti scratched on a wall of the cave where the Irish hermite Molaise of Leighlin (6th-7th century AD) spent his early years, on Holy Island, a small isle off the West coast of Scotland inside the Lamlash Bay, in the south-east of the Isle of Arran. By a close examination of the epigraphic and linguistic features of the graffiti, an attempt will be made to date them and identify their authors and the possible occasion of their stay on Holy Island.File in questo prodotto:
