Adds greatly to current discussions about Latin source-material for vernacular Irish texts.... The studies are informative and interesting, and also provide an excellent introduction to those new to the field. CAMBRIAN MEDIEVAL CELTIC STUDIES [A]nyone interested in epic, or the textualization of oral traditions, should read this straight through. It is especially relevant to reception studies and translation theory. Instead of simply giving the Classicizing camp its day, the volume helps us imagine how a blended, bilingual scribal culture of scholar-authors, consciously preserving their age-old culture while discovering the Classical world, created some of the world's most compelling literature.
