DESCRIPTION:
As whimsical as the Irish themselves, these ancient Irish laws date back to the first century BC and are a testament not only to age-old traditions, but also to the Irish love of justice. Today these laws are appealing as much for their fair-mindedness as for their offbeat humor and naive charm.
Our Ancestors Lived by These Laws? James Gallen "Irish Laws" is a delightful little book which cites sayings from the Brehon Laws. For centuries before the reign of Elizabeth I, the Brehons, Ireland's wandering jurists, heard cases and issued rulings settlong disputes. Many of their more interesting and humorous sayings are collected in this book. In it the. Wonderful Little Book! Rosie I have had this wonderful little book for years, and often make copies of various pages for friends to discuss the fascinating Brehon Laws of ancient Ireland. It is a very unique and lovely book about an esoteric subject. A great conversation starter!
