An Insular Odyssey: Manuscript Culture in Early Christian Ireland and Beyond

An Insular Odyssey: Manuscript Culture in Early Christian Ireland and Beyond

Jane Maxwell
1/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Between the seventh and twelfth centuries, a distinctive form of script and illumination predominated in the manuscripts produced in the milieu of the Irish church. Although associated principally with Britain and Ireland, Ireland's reputation for learning and the missionary activity associated with Irish foundations mean that today Insular texts are found in library collections across the Continent and beyond. Arising from recent research at TCD, and marking the retirement of its eminent scholar of Insular manuscripts, Dr. Bernard Meehan, this book examines Irish manuscript culture from a broad range of perspectives.

Contributors include: Dominique Barbet-Massin , Susie Bioletti , Claire Breay , Michelle Browne , Denis Casey , David Dumville , William Endres , Carol Farr , Rachel Moss , Dáibhí Ó Cróinín , Felicity O'Mahony , Bernard Meehan , John Gillis , Paul Mullarkey , Francis Drake , Robert Babcock , Timothy O'Neill , Heather Pulliam , Mark Stansbury , and Colleen Thomas .
