Title: A superb collection, deservedly well-known!
Product review: Note that this collection was compiled primarily with learners of Old or Middle Irish in mind. Accordingly, the bilingual edition includes not just the original texts, but also the critical apparatus (e.g.alternative readings from other manuscripts) and a copious glossary which can serve as a mini-dictionary. Translations occasionally sound "wooden", but they are closer to the original than many others I've seen.In short, this book is highly recommended for learners of Irish and to those who curious about the precise wordings of the original poems.
