Publisher's Synopsis
"The Ogygia Vindicated, Against the Objections of Sir George Mac Kenzie" by Roderic O'Flaherty, originally published in 1775, is a critical response and defense of O'Flaherty's earlier work, "Ogygia: Seu Rerum Hibernicarum Chronologia," a foundational text in Irish historiography. In this work, O'Flaherty addresses and refutes the objections raised by Sir George MacKenzie, a Scottish lawyer and writer, regarding the historical accuracy and interpretation of ancient Irish records and traditions. This vindication provides valuable insights into the intellectual debates and historical methodologies of the 18th century, offering a deeper understanding of the challenges faced in reconstructing Ireland's past. This edition offers modern readers access to a key text for understanding the development of Irish historical scholarship and its engagement with contemporary critiques.
