This volume presents a collection of studies examining the introduction of the Latin language into Ireland and its consequent development. The focus is on the integration of the Latin literary heritage into Irish culture, particularly Hiberno-Latin linguistic and metrical peculiarities.
This book is concerned with the transmission and reception of Latin literary culture in the early Middle Ages, and with the production of Latin works in Ireland and in Irish centres on the Continent. In these articles, Professor Herren deals with several closely related themes: the introduction of Latin into Ireland and the study of Latin literary heritage; the language and metre of Hiberno-Latin writings; and questions of dating and authorship pertaining to a number of crucial texts, from Columbanus to John Scottus Eriugena.
