The book Ancient Laws of Ireland V4: And Certain Other Selected Brehon Law Tracts (1879) is a comprehensive collection of ancient laws and tracts from Ireland. The book is authored by John O'Donovan, an Irish linguist, historian, and scholar who was renowned for his work in translating ancient Irish texts. The book is part of a series of volumes that O'Donovan compiled and published, which aimed to preserve and document the ancient laws and customs of Ireland.The book contains a selection of Brehon law tracts, which were legal codes that governed Irish society from ancient times until the 17th century. These tracts cover a wide range of topics, including land ownership, marriage and family law, crime and punishment, and the rights and responsibilities of rulers and citizens. The tracts provide a fascinating insight into the social and cultural practices of ancient Ireland, and the book is an invaluable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in Irish culture and history.In addition to the Brehon law tracts, the book also includes a detailed introduction by O'Donovan, in which he provides background information on the history and development of Irish law, as well as insights into the translation and interpretation of the texts. The book is written in English, but it includes original Irish language texts, as well as translations and annotations by O'Donovan. Overall, Ancient Laws of Ireland V4: And Certain Other Selected Brehon Law Tracts (1879) is a fascinating and important work that sheds light on the legal and cultural traditions of ancient Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
