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. 'Professor Michael Herren has been in the vanguard of Hiberno-Latin studies for twenty-five years...This exceptionally useful collection brings together eighteen of [his] papers, many of them not readily available in most libraries, and provides an impressive overview of Herren's range and scope of interests....[it] is one of the finest to appear in the Collected Studies series, and is a real service to the field.'
