ITS-SS1 A New Introduction to Lebor Gabála Érenn / The Book of the Taking of Ireland ✓ In Stock

Edited and Translated by R. A. Stewart Macalister, D.Litt. 22pp. 1993. ISBN 1 870 16680 9 The greater part of this new introduction chronicles and places in context the extensive body of scholarship that has accumulated about the nature, sources, and textual history of Lebor Gabála Érenn , including the critical contribution of R.A.S. Macalister's five-volume edition of the text for the Society (Main Series 34-35, 38-39, 44). John Carey, who lectures in the Department of Early and Medieval Irish at UCC, also presents his own expert and stimulating opinions of the text, based on a study that stretches back to the beginnings of his scholarly career.

Lebor Gabála Érenn: The Book of The Taking of Ireland, Part V ✓ In Stock

R. A. S. Macalister (foilsithe den chéad uair / first published 1956) VIII + 508 pp. ISBN 1 870 16644 2 This late eleventh-century text contains a record of the legendary history of Ireland. John Carey, who provided the Society's five-volume edition by R.A. S. Macalister with a new introduction in 1993, described the text as 'a sweeping, unified account of the origins of Ireland and of the Gaels, extending from the creation of the world down to the time of writing'. Originally consisting of a collection of poems by several writers, the author fitted these into a prose framework which paraphrased and elaborated upon the verse. And as John Carey also stated, while Macalister's edition has been deservedly critized for its many faults, and not least for its lack of an index, it continues for the present to be an indispensable work for all interested in this enormous repository of tradition. This volume contains John Carey's new introduction (1993).
