Description
This early work constitutes a comprehensive study of Ireland's indigenous system of law.

Brehon law was first transcribed in the 7th century, but had existed long before in the form of customs that were passed down the generations in the oral tradition. Ginnell's handbook is a fascinating read that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of any legal or social show more historian, and all those that are interested in the history of the Emerald Isle.
