On Two Works of Ancient Irish Art Known as the Breac Moedog, or Shrine of St. Moedog, and the Soiscel Molaise, or Gospel of St. Molaise is a book written by Margaret Macnair Stokes and published in 1871. The book provides a detailed description and analysis of two important works of Irish art: the Breac Moedog, a shrine or reliquary associated with the 7th-century Irish saint Moedog, and the Soiscel Molaise, a 12th-century illuminated manuscript gospel book associated with the saint Molaise. Stokes provides a thorough examination of the history, style, and symbolism of both works of art, drawing on her expertise in Irish archaeology and art history. She also includes translations of the inscriptions and texts associated with each artifact, as well as illustrations and photographs to help readers visualize the intricate details of the artwork. The book is considered an important contribution to the study of Irish art and culture, particularly in the context of early Christianity in Ireland. It provides valuable insights into the artistic and religious traditions of the Irish people, as well as the historical and cultural context in which these works were created. Overall, On Two Works of Ancient Irish Art Known as the Breac Moedog, or Shrine of St. Moedog, and the Soiscel Molaise, or Gospel of St. Molaise is a comprehensive and informative resource for anyone interested in the art and history of Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
