500    "Columcille the scribe is a version by Seamus Heaney of an early Irish poem beginning "Sgith mo crob on scribinn". The poet translated the poem to celebrate his enrolment as a member of the Royal Irish Academy in the Guildhall, Derry, on the 9th of June, 1997, the fourteen-hundredth anniversary of the death of Columcille. Dr. Heaney commissioned Tim O'Neill, calligrapher and authority on early Irish manuscripts, to write the poem on vellum and he presented it to the Academy on the occasion of his admission as a member. Dr. Heaney has graciously granted permission to the Academy Library to issue 150 signed copies of the poem, each written out in a script derived from the "Cathach", by Tim O'Neill on vellum, to enable the Library to initiate a fund for special monograph and manuscript acquisitions".
