Publisher's Synopsis
The Black Book of Limerick is a scholarly work by Jakob MacCaffrey that investigates the history and culture of the Diocese of Limerick in Ireland. The book is based primarily on a manuscript known as the Black Book of Limerick, which is a valuable source of information about the region's religious, political, and social history. MacCaffrey's study includes detailed analyses of the manuscript's contents, as well as broader discussions of the diocese's role in Irish history. Topics covered in the book include the early Christian period, the Viking invasions, the Norman conquest, the Reformation, and the modern era. The Black Book of Limerick is an important resource for anyone interested in Irish history, particularly the history of the Catholic Church in Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
