In addition, there are also poetic translations made from medieval Irish texts, such as the 14th century \u003cem\u003eBook of Ballymote\u003c\/em\u003e, which critique and explain all the extant variants of ogham. In vivid and lyrical language, and with surprising juxtapositions, these poems bring to life the communities, ecologies and traditions of Ireland and Scotland between the 4th and 6th centuries CE. In times of climate change, the vital ecological awareness of those communities is distilled and preserved in this important collection, which represents the culmination of over forty years of scholarship. A must-have for anyone with an interest in the Celtic history of Britain and Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerry Loose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1999971892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781999971892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xylem Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 4.72w x 0.30d","brand":"Gerry Loose","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978477633791,"sku":"9781999971892","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_380f1d52-ba56-4a04-89b7-2a9d4ae349ba.jpg?v=1683241754","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-book-of-the-gerry-loose-9781999971892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
