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.

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, and style.

Áthas orm go bhfuil IGT V i gcló!
