The Metrical Dindshenchas, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Metrical Dindshenchas, Vol. 3In constructing the text of the poems I have attached rather less weight than in former volumes to the authority of the Book Of Leinster, and rather more to that of R and B (which are very closely related), especially when they are supported by H and S3. The Book of Lecan, the Book of Ui Maine, and the Stowe manuscript D H 2 are very untrustworthy guides in doubtful places.In orthography I have as a rule tried to approximate to the general practice of the Book of Leinster, but no uniform standard can be fixed, especially as the spelling is constantly varied in order to mark the rhymes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
