Reviews
“I commend this book to all competent scholars with a genuine academic interest in the linguistics and philology of Celtic languages. In so doing, I congratulate the editors and the other contributors on their achievements, which I am certain will be required reading for all their colleagues in this field, for many years to come.”

"This excellent volume presents a selection of articles based on papers presented at the Fourteenth International Congress of Celtic Studies in Maynooth in August 2011. The common denominator is that they are all concerned with medieval Irish. Naturally, the scope and focus of the individual contributions varies, but the standard of the work is uniformly high. ... The editors and contributors are to be congratulated on a useful and thought-provoking collection of essays."
