A Handbook Of Irish Idioms (1898) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781166501518)

A Handbook of Irish Idioms, written by F. Edmond Hogan and originally published in 1898, is a comprehensive guide to the unique and colorful idiomatic expressions of the Irish language. The book is divided into two parts: the first provides an introduction to the grammar and syntax of the Irish language, while the second is a collection of over 2,000 idiomatic phrases, each with an English translation and an explanation of its meaning and usage.The idioms covered in the book range from common expressions used in everyday conversation to more obscure phrases found in literature and folklore. Many of the idioms are rooted in Irish history and culture, and reflect the country's rich literary and linguistic traditions.The book is intended for both students of Irish language and literature, as well as anyone with an interest in Irish culture and history. It provides a valuable resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of the Irish language and its unique idiomatic expressions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
