Description

This vintage book contains a detailed account of the schools and scholars of ancient Ireland from the time of St. Patrick down to the Anglo-Norman Invasion. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in Irish history and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “Learning of the Druids”, "Religious Worship", "Sacrifice of Human Victims", "Worship of the Elements", "Enchantments", "Acquaintance with Letters", "Sun-Worship", "THE BARDS", "The Files", "The Ollamh-Poet", "Historic Poet", "Neidhe", et cetera. John Healy (1841–1918) was an Irish Roman Catholic bishop. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
