IRISH MANUSCRIPTS. 



THE accurate study and critical investigation of the ancient literary and 

 historic monuments of Ireland have hitherto been impeded by the 

 absence of fac-similes of the oldest and most important Irish Manuscripts. 

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

 beyond risk of destruction the contents of Manuscripts, the Academy has 

 undertaken the publication of carefully collated lithographic copies of 

 the oldest Irish texts still extant. These can be obtained by subscribers 

 only. 



In folio, on toned paper — Subscription, £3 3s. .Edition limited to 200 copies. 



LEABHAR 1ST A H-UIDHRI : a collection of pieces in prose and verse, 

 in the Irish Language, transcribed about a. d. 1100; the oldest 

 volume now known entirely in the Irish language, and one of the chief 

 surviving native literary monuments — not ecclesiastical — of ancient Ire- 

 land ; now for the first time published, from the original in the Library of 

 the Royal Irish Academy, with account of the manuscript, description 

 of its contents, index, and fac-similes in colours. 



In imperial folio, on toned paper. — Subscription, £4 4s.; or £2 2s. per part.
