Excerpt from Some Passages in the Early History of Classical Learning in Ireland: An Address Delivered at the Inaugural Meeting of the Trinity College Classical Society, Revised With Notes and an Appendix
It was necessary to omit a good deal of what I have here printed in order to bring the delivery of the Address within reasonable limits. I have revised what I had then written, adding notes, and printing in an Appendix some extracts from writers whose works are not easily obtainable.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the educational policy and classical scholarship in Ireland during the Elizabethan era. The author examines the lasting effect of the early monastic schools on the educational standards and intellectual pursuits of the Irish aristocracy, particularly their grasp of Latin. The author brings to light new information about Ireland's cultural history by studying the writings of contemporary observers and the records of the era, demonstrating that many scholars were fluent in Latin outside the English Pale. These scholars often patronized Irish and Latin literature. This in-depth study provides a valuable resource for scholars of Irish history, education, and classical scholarship. It sheds light on the complex social and intellectual landscape of Ireland during this period of great change.
