Originally published in 1908, this book contains untranslated passages from the Hisperica Famina in verse, together with a large index verborum and original manuscript images. The use of verse is notable because previous reproductions had opted for prose. Following on from research carried out by the renowned textual scholar Henry Bradshaw, this volume constituted an attempt to emphasize the essential metrical quality of the text. Consummately researched, this book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Hiberno-Latin and Irish literature.
