Description
"The material contained in the Early Christian Inscriptions of Munster: A Corpus of the Inscribed Stones comprises carved stone monuments of various types from simple grave-markers to ambitious, ornately decorated public monuments. They are an important source of evidence for the the history and culture of early Christian Munster, particularly in view of the scarity of material for most of the region during this period. Their texts also provide examples of early Irish which are demonstrably contemporary and not modernised by later scribal copying. They are also the only examples of non-ogham script of the period.". "The Early Christian Inscriptions of Munster presents the early epigraphic texts of Munster accurately, reliably and in an accessible manner. It will be invaluable to those working in the fields of history, language and culture of Early Christian Ireland. In addition the book will be of great interest to people living in or visiting Munster who wish to extend their knowledge of the earlier culture of the area."--BOOK JACKET.
