The Life of St Declan was published by the Society in 1914 and edited by Patrick Power. Power's long and eminent career is of considerable interest (dib.ie/biography/power-patri…) and a session by Pádraig Ó Cearbaill will consider his contribution to onomastics.

Happy to see my book in print! IGT V is the oldest surviving metrical tract of the Early Modern Irish period (13th/14th cent.), used to train students in poetry, language & style. irishtextssociety.org/public… Áthas orm go bhfuil IGT V i gcló!

This edition examines the tract's teaching, its relationship to other texts & poetic practice, its complex manuscript transmission & importance for the history of education in Ireland.
