IRISH MSS. 



THE accurate study and critical investigation of the ancient literary and 

 historic monuments of Ireland have hitherto been impeded by the 

 circumstance, that the oldest and most important Irish Manuscripts in their 

 integrity were available only to those who could visit the places of their 

 deposit, no fac-similes having been published of their entire texts. 



"With a view of supplying this acknowledged want, and of placing 

 beyond risk of destruction the contents of Manuscripts, which are unique 

 monuments of the ancient native literature of Ireland, the publication has 

 been undertaken of carefully collated lithographic copies of the oldest 

 Irish texts in the collection of the Eoyal Irish Academy. 



In folio, on toned paper — Subscription, £3 Zs.per copy. 



LEABHAE NA H-UIDHBI : a collection of pieces in prose and verse, 

 in the Irish Language, transcribed about a, b. 1100 ; now for 

 the first time published, from the original in the Library of the Eoyal Irish 

 Academy; with account of the manuscript, description of its contents, 

 index, and fac-similes in colours. 



Leabhar na h-Uidhri, the oldest volume now known entirely in the 

 Irish language, is one of the chief surviving native literary monuments — 

 not ecclesiastical — of ancient Ireland.

In two parts, imperial folio, on toned paper. Subscription — £2 2,?. per part. 



LEABHAE BEEAC— the « Speckled Book"— otherwise styled "The
