  • Early Modern Irish
  • prose
  • Medieval Irish literary adaptations
Early Modern Irish adaptation of part of Gerald of Wales’ Expugnatio Hibernica, I.1-II.19. According to Aisling Byrne (2013), it is “a translation of the Hiberno-English text and not, as has been previously assumed, an independent adaptation of the Latin original”.
