Life

Mo Sinu moccu Min (Sinlán), who died in 610, was the fifth abbot of Bangor in Ireland and a scholar. He is said to have been the first Irishman to learn the computus, the calculation of the date of Easter, by heart. He is probably the Sinilis who taught Saint Columbanus before his departure for Gaul around 585. He is not attested as a saint in the sources found.
