This wonderful collection comprises of prose excerpts from Irish literature of the period 1450-1850 collected and edited by Anraí Mac Giolla Chomhaill and published in modern spelling — with a biographical portrait of the author by Prof. Malachy Ó Néill

A Rabelasian and Romantic Spirit

The excerpts range from the spiritual to the downright Rabelesian, and by such great stylists as Keating and Mac Aingil. This book was first published in 1971 and readers will be delighted to find it in print once again.

A Scholar Who Left a Huge Legacy

“Rinne Anraí Mac Giolla Chomhaill, an scoláire Gaeilge as Doire a bhásaigh le déanaí, obair iontach le linn a shaoil ar son na Gaeilge agus ar son lucht foghlama na teanga go háirithe. Saothar ollmhór ilghnéitheach a bhí ina shaothar a raibh tionchar nach beag aige ar phobal Gaeilge a linne féin agus ar na glúnta Gaeilgeoirí a thiocfas inár ndiaidh.” — Malachy Ó Néill, Tuairisc
