Book of …

A Dictionary of Celtic Mythology | 2004 | 677 words | Copyright

Book of … The pre-Gutenberg sources of much of Celtic tradition are found in the great collections of manuscripts compiled in monasteries and castles between 800 and 1500. Each collection or codex bore a title in Latin or one of the Celtic vernaculars. Most learned commentators today refer to these collections by an English title, often employing the place-name where it was either compiled or found; an exception is the Book of the Dun Cow, which is often referred to by its Irish title, Lebor na hUidre. The following list of Books is limited to sources of mythology, legend, and lore; many more exist, often dealing with genealogy, laws, and ecclesiastical matters.
