Lost and Found in Early Irish Law
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-51284-9 (ISBN)
Charlene M. Eska presents in this book a critical edition and translation of a newly discovered early Irish legal text on lost and stolen property, Aidbred. Although the Old Irish text itself is fragmentary, the copious accompanying commentaries provide a wealth of legal, historical, and linguistic information, thus presenting us with a complete picture of the legal procedures involved in reclaiming missing property.
This book also includes editions of two other texts concerning property found on land, Heptad 64, and at sea, Muirbretha. The three texts edited together provide a complete picture of this aspect of the early Irish legal system.
Charlene M. Eska, Ph.D. (2006), in Celtic Languages and Literatures, Harvard University, is a Professor in the Department of English at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. Her publications focus on medieval Irish legal texts and manuscripts, including Cáin Lánamna: An Old Irish Tract on Marriage and Divorce Law (Brill, 2010) and A Raven’s Battle-Cry: The Limits of Judgment in the Medieval Irish Legal Tract Anfuigell (Brill, 2019).
