A remarkable compilation of medieval Irish legal texts, edited according to the original manuscripts; with introduction in English and the text in both old Irish and Latin.

Offering profound insights into Brehon Law, Ireland’s native legal system, this six volume work was assembled by the distinguished Irish scholar D.A. Binchy from 1963 to 1978. The collection draws from a wealth of manuscripts, some originating as early as the 7th century, and serves as a vital resource for understanding early Irish society, politics, and culture.
