The Passions And The Homilies From Leabhar Breac Part 2 (1887) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781160032087)

The Passions And The Homilies From Leabhar Breac Part 2 is a book written by Robert Atkinson and published in 1887. The book is a collection of ancient Irish texts that were originally compiled in the 15th century in a manuscript known as Leabhar Breac. The texts are primarily religious in nature and include homilies, or religious sermons, and tales of saints and martyrs. Part 2 of the book focuses on the passions, or emotions, and how they are viewed in the context of Christianity. The texts explore topics such as anger, envy, and pride, and offer guidance on how to overcome these negative emotions. The homilies also discuss the importance of virtues such as humility, patience, and forgiveness. Atkinson provides translations of the original Irish texts, as well as extensive notes and commentary on the historical and cultural context of the works. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Irish literature, history, and religion, as well as anyone interested in exploring the intersection of Christianity and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
