Cormac's Glossary is a historical text originally written in the Irish language in the 10th century by Cormac mac Cuilenn�����in, a bishop and king of Munster. The text was translated into English in 1868 by John O'Donovan, a prominent Irish scholar and historian. The book is a comprehensive guide to the language, culture, and mythology of early medieval Ireland, and is considered one of the most important sources of information on the subject. It includes definitions of over 1,400 words, many of which are no longer in use, as well as explanations of customs, beliefs, and traditions. The glossary is organized alphabetically, with entries ranging from the mundane (such as butter) to the mystical (such as fairy). The book also includes extensive footnotes and annotations by O'Donovan, providing additional context and historical background. Cormac's Glossary is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Ireland, and is a valuable addition to any library of historical texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
