Ar fheabhas! Go raibh maith agat! Taim a gra mo chlann fein agus gach rud Eireannach. Ta suil agam go mbeidh me ansin (Eire) an bhliain seo chugainn. Bheadh me ansin i mbliana da mbeadh mo tinneas droma. Buaileann an daigh me corruair, maise. Mo dhearthair bocht, sleamhnan ar a shuil ata ag cur as do anois. Beannacht De linn agus beannacht De na hanamacha na marbh. Slan.

Using the annals of 'The Four Friars' as a history of Ireland is on a par with using Burke's Peerage as a history of Britain. If accounts of the births, deaths and lives of the Gaelic Irish nobility is your thing then I'm sure it's quite useful. There's much more to Ireland than that.

Irish History at its best!
Some very valuable information that is presented in a unique style. The family map of Irish names is one of the best things about the book.
Great for historical research

The Gaelic Irish nobility is not what makes this work so important. As published it includes the locations of the 'common' families, as well as fragments of history found nowhere else, written in the Irish language of the day. Beyond ink on paper, it also played a role in the Celtic revival of the 19th century, and served as a guideline for the use and translation of the Irish language, and that is just for starters.
