The Book Of Leinster, Formerly Lebar Na Núachongbála by Thomas J. Bergin
Formerly Lebar na Núachongbála
An authoritative edition and English-language presentation of a twelfth-century Irish manuscript that assembles a wide range of medieval material — heroic sagas and mythological tales (notably strands of the Ulster Cycle), genealogies and king-lists, hagiography, poetry, and legal and historical tracts — produced by multiple scribes and preserved as a cornerstone source for early Irish language, literature, and history; the work provides diplomatic transcriptions, translations, and scholarly notes that clarify the manuscript’s provenance, scribal practice, textual variants, and its cultural importance for understanding medieval Irish society and storytelling traditions.
