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.
