About this Item
Covers rather marked, some wear to spine, bookplate removed from front pastedown; "Ogam" alphabet neatly inscribed on verso of half-title. "It is our proud boast as an English-speaking people that we can go back as far as Cędmon to the beginnings of our literature; yet how few British subjects realise that Gaelic was a literary language long before then in the hands of men like St. Patrick, St. Columba, and Dalian Forgaill, and that there are Latin MSS. still extant associated with Columba and the School of Iona which are almost as old as the very oldest existing codex of the Bible.".
