Abstract

This manuscript traces the traditions of the healing of the deaf associated with St Cadoc. While Saint Cadoc was Welsh, the traditions associated with him are found in Brittany. It seems likely that they originated there as pre-Christian healing traditions which were subsequently incorporated into those associated with the Church. The centre of these traditions was (and is) St Cado in the South of Brittany, near Carnac.
