Wakeman's Handbook of Irish Antiquities, first published in 1903, is a comprehensive guide to the archaeological and historical heritage of Ireland. Written by William Frederick Wakeman, a prominent Irish historian and antiquarian, the book provides a detailed overview of the various ancient sites, monuments, and artifacts that are scattered throughout the country.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of Irish antiquities. The first section explores the prehistoric period, with a focus on the megalithic tombs, stone circles, and other structures that date back thousands of years. The second section covers the early Christian period, including the monastic settlements, churches, and other religious sites that were established throughout Ireland during this time.The third section of the book is devoted to the medieval period, with a particular emphasis on the castles, fortifications, and other structures that were built during this time. The fourth section covers the post-medieval period, including the Tudor and Stuart eras, as well as the 18th and 19th centuries.Throughout the book, Wakeman provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of the various sites and artifacts, as well as historical context and background information. He also includes maps, diagrams, and other visual aids to help readers better understand the layout and significance of each site.Overall, Wakeman's Handbook of Irish Antiquities is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and archaeology of Ireland. With its comprehensive coverage, detailed descriptions, and rich illustrations, it remains a classic work in the field of Irish studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
