Excerpt from The Latin Lives of the Saints as Aids Towards the Translation of Irish Texts and the Production of an Irish DictionaryOf the middle-irish Lives Of the Saints are, on the whole, trustworthy, even when made without opportunities of refer ring to the old Latin lives. This is a useful lesson, since the criticisms discharged from so many quarters1 at the versions made from the Irish have unfortunately (and unreasonably, as I think) shaken all confidence in the translators, and driven students away from their books.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
