[2] Another source says that Eilean Munde, and four Kilmuns in Argyll, are said to be named after the Irish saint sometimes called Fintan Munnu in Scotland, but notes that this is by no means certain.

Several churches bear the name of this saint in Argyleshire in Scotland, in which he was formerly honoured as principal patron, and which he edified, by the shining light of his example, and by his zealous preaching, in the tenth century.

His excellent maxims,--relating to the most tender and universal fraternal charity, meekness, the love of silence and retiredness, and a constant attention to the divine presence,--were handed down to posterity as sacred oracles.

Scotiæ, &c.[6] John O'Hanlon (1821–1905) says in his Lives of the Irish saints under April 15, ARTICLE VII.-REPUTED FESTIVAL OF ST. MUND, OR MUNDUS, OF ARGYLE, SCOTLAND.

The great sanctity of Mundus, Abbot, in Scotland, has caused his name to be entered, in the various Scottish Kalendars of King, of Thomas Dempster, and of David Camerarius, at the 15th of April.

Notwithstanding the manifest error of chronology admitted, between the period when St. Fillan and his St. Mundus lived, with their assumed relationship of master and disciple; Camerarius indicates, at the 15th of April, that the present holy man was Abbot, in the region of Argathelia, or Argyle, in Albania, where he erected many monasteries.

We are told, moreover, that several churches bear the name of St. Munde, Abbot, in Argyleshire, where he was formerly honoured as the principal patron, and where, owing to the shining light of his example and to his zealous preaching, he left behind him many great models of Christian perfection.

We are told, by a Scottish writer, that St. Mund was no other than the St. Fintan Munnu of the Irish Calendars, and that his crozier had its hereditary keepers' croft of land, at Kilmun, in Scotland.

Nevertheless, this latter statement may well be questioned; and, the learned Bollandist, Father Godefrid Henschenn declares, that he no more believes such writings have any existence, than he does regarding many of the other books, which Dempster attributes to each of the saints of Scotland, as if all these were authors.
