Laurentius of Echternach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laurentius of Echternach, fl. 704-722

Laurentius was a scribe who wrote the Echternach martyrology in minuscule, and charters for Echternach between 704 and 722.

His name may be a Latin rendering of the Irish personal name, Lorcán, so there is a possibility he was Irish
