Cadac-Andreas
Cadac-Andreas, Irish scholar, fl. 798 - 814.
Cadac-Andreas was an Irish scholar at the court of Charlemagne who roused the ire of Bishop Theodulphus for lengthy and pedantic approach to exegesis, which he apparently delighted in. A nameless court poet, possibly connected to Theodulphus, wrote further of him, scorning and parodying
- his fascination with etymologies in the three sacred languages
- pondering who was the first person to perform something in the Bible
- pedantic, long-winded, interest in terminology
Theodulphus, on the other hand, was later sent into exile by Louis the Pious.
