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.

#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.
