Blathmac mac Con Brettan was an Irish poet and monk whose floruit was around 760. Blathmac was the son of Cú Brettan mac Congussa (died 740), seemingly a king of the Airthir, one of the Airgíalla kingdoms, situated in modern-day County Armagh. His brother Donn Bó was killed in battle in 759. Cú Brettan and Donn Bó both appear as characters in the saga Cath Almaine and are portrayed as poets. Art historian Peter Harbison says that st some point, Blathmac probably visited Rome as much of his poems reflect scenes depicted on mosaics in old Roman churches.

| - Blathmac mac Con Brettan ['blaθvak mak kon 'bʼrʼetan] war ein irischer Mönch und Dichter (fili), der um 760 n. Chr. wirkte. Sein Vater war Cú Brettan mac Congussa († 740), vermutlich ein König von Ind Airthir, einem Teilreich der Föderation von Airgíalla. Die Geschichte seines Vaters und der Schlachtentod von Blathmacs Bruder Donn Bó werden in der Sage Cath Almaine („Die Schlacht von Alman“) erzählt. Blathmacs Gedichte sind eine wichtige Hilfe zum Verständnis der irischen Kultur des Frühmittelalters. (de)

| - Blathmac mac Con Brettan ['blaθvak mak kon 'bʼrʼetan] war ein irischer Mönch und Dichter (fili), der um 760 n. Chr. wirkte. Sein Vater war Cú Brettan mac Congussa († 740), vermutlich ein König von Ind Airthir, einem Teilreich der Föderation von Airgíalla. Die Geschichte seines Vaters und der Schlachtentod von Blathmacs Bruder Donn Bó werden in der Sage Cath Almaine („Die Schlacht von Alman“) erzählt. Blathmac wurde in einer Klosterschule unterrichtet und wurde dort von der asketischen Céli Dé-Bewegung beeinflusst. Lediglich zwei Gedichte oder Meditationen Blathmacs über die Mutter von Jesus Christus sind in einer Handschrift aus dem 17. Jahrhundert überliefert (Tan cucam a Mhuire und Oh Mhaire). In ihnen will der Dichter den Lesern die Passionsgeschichte mit zeitgenössischen Vorstellungen der irischen Gesellschaft des 8. Jahrhunderts verdeutlichen. Sie befinden sich heute im Besitz der Irischen Nationalbibliothek. Blathmacs Gedichte sind eine wichtige Hilfe zum Verständnis der irischen Kultur des Frühmittelalters. (de)

Blathmac was educated in a monastic school and went on to become a monk. A manuscript containing his surviving poems, two meditations on the Virgin Mary, Tair cucum a Maire boid and A Maire, a grian ar clainde, once in the possession of Mícheál Ó Cléirigh, is in the National Library of Ireland, where it was re-discovered by Nessa Ní Shéaghdha in 1953. Art historian Peter Harbison says that st some point, Blathmac probably visited Rome as much of his poems reflect scenes depicted on mosaics in old Roman churches. (en)
