Reviews
An outstanding source of information on early Ireland, this book (based on the Irish laws) covers far more than farming. Chapter headings include: Livestock; offenses by/against domestic animals; accidents, diseases, etc; crops; hunting and gathering; diet and cooking; farm layout; land-tenure; farm labour; tools and technology; and a number of appendices and indexes. Highly recommended to anyone interested in early Ireland.
What it says on the cover. Law on different subjects and where it comes from. Clear that the actual texts are haphazardly arranged so that a compilation is necessary. Includes the first guide to 7th century Irish pronunciation that I have seen.
Absolutely indispensable to anyone interested in 7th-8th century CE Ireland.
