The continental response to this Irish 'diaspora' ranged from admiration to open hostility, especially when peregrini were deemed to challenge prevalent cultural or spiritual conventions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume brings together leading historians, archaeologists, and palaeographers who provide-for the first time-a comprehensive assessment of the phenomenon of Irish peregrini in their continental context and the manner in which it is framed by modern scholarship as well as the popular imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Flechner, Sven Meeder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137430591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137430595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.64h x 5.57w x 0.65d","brand":"Roy Flechner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120915312895,"sku":"9781137430595","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9865b9ba-4cd1-4624-9817-ffa5a9e99a9b.jpg?v=1687416991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-irish-in-early-medieval-roy-flechner-9781137430595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
