A History of the Milesians in Ireland

An Leabhar Gabala (The Book of Invasions, c. eleventh century) details the origins of the Gaelic people. They descended from the Goideal Glas, who came from Scythia (a vast area covering present day Ukraine, South West Russia and Central Asia), and Scota, a daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh. Their descendants left Egypt at the time of the Exodus of Moses, they wandered until they arrived in the Iberian Peninsula, where they settled. Breogan built a tower at Brigantia (in present day Galicia) from the top of which his son Ith first saw Ireland. Ith made an expedition to Ireland but was killed by the Tuatha De Dannan, in revenge the eight sons of Ith's brother Mil Espaine landed in Co. Kerry and fought their way to Tara, eventually defeating the Tuatha De Dannan. The Milesians divided the country amongst their principal leaders, establishing themselves as the dominant class. TF O'Rahilly proposed that the descent of the kings of Ireland from the kings of Mil is a fiction created to provide legitimacy for the Goidels who invaded Irealand in the second century BC, giving them the same origin as the people they dominated. As late as the seventeenth century Geoffrey Keating utilised the myth to promote the claim of the Stuart dynasty to reign over Ireland, demonstrating that Charles I was descended through Brian Boru, Eber and Galamh, from Noah and from Adam.

This is an authoritative volume with essays by key scholars that will be the standard guide for many years to come. - ;The Oxford History of the Irish Book is a major new series that charts the development of the book in Ireland from its origins within an early medieval manuscript culture to its current incarnation alongside the rise of digital media in the twenty-first century. Volume III: The Irish Book in English, 1550-1800 contains a series of groundbreaking essays that seek to explain the fortunes of printed word from the early Renaissance to the end of the eighteenth century. The essays in section one explain the development of print culture in the period, from its first incarnation in the small area of the English Pale around Dublin, dominated by the interests of the English authorities, to the more widespread dispersal of the printing press at the. close of the eighteenth century, when provincial presses developed their own character and style either alongside or as a challenge to the dominant intellectual culture. Section two explains the crucial developments in the structure and technical innovation of the print trade; the role played by private and. public collections of books; and the evidence of changing reading practices throughout the period. The third and longest section explores the impact of the rise of print. Essays examine the effect that the printed book had on religious and political life in Ireland, providing a case study of the impact of the French Revolution on pamphlets and propaganda in Ireland; the transformations illustrated in the history of historical writing, as well as in literature and the theatre, through the. publication of play texts for a wide audience. Others explore the impact that print had on the history of science and the production of foreign language books. The volume concludes with an authoritative bibliographical essay outlining the sources that exist for the study of the book in early modern. Ireland. This is an authoritative volume with essays by key scholars that will be the standard guide for many years to come. - ;...outstandingly good...the volume will provide a mine of information for scholars from many disciplines, a source of fascination and profit for all readers, and a challenge to the editors of the remaining four volumes to match or indeed surpass its achievement. - Ian Campbell Ross, The Library, Vol. 8, No. 2

Irish Crystal $6.99 "There's evil people around, Dermot love. . . . I knew about them even before me dream. Really evil people. Won't we have to fight them!" This latest tale of Nuala Anne McGrail, the engagingly fey heroine of such irresistible books as Irish Cream and Irish Lace, begins with a foreboding dream of some terrible impending evil. Dermot Michael Coyne, Nuala's adoring husband and spear-carrier, knows better than to ignore his wife's second sight, but from whence does this nameless peril originate? From the Homeland Security goons determined to deport the Irish-born Nuala on the basis of nothing more than vague suspicions and accusations? From the spiteful neighbors campaigning against their family's beloved Irish wolfhounds? Or from the tangled dealings of the Currans, a prosperous clan of Irish-American aristocrats, with whom Nuala and Dermot have recently become acquainted? The true danger becomes shockingly apparent when a catastrophic car-bombing rocks the Chicago riverfront. Uncovering the twisted minds behind the bombing is not easy; Dermot and Nuala soon find themselves enmeshed in a complicated tapestry of lies and secrets. Nuala's preternatural instincts also lead her to a forgotten manuscript revealing the treachery and deceit behind a tragic chapter in Irish history: the saga of bold Robert Emmet and the failed uprisings of 1798 and 1803. Between the past and the present, our heroine and her devoted spouse have more than enough mysteries to contend with, but the two of them are bound to make the truth just as clear as . . . Irish Crystal.
