Carmina Gadelica is a prominent but not regularly available five-volume set of Gaelic songs, which was published in Scotland in the first half of the 20th century. Here the best of its content is assembled--in a new translation--in a beautiful gift book that reflects the simple expression and devout thought of a lost Christian world: Celtic Christians of the seventh to ninth centuries. An extended introduction opens up the world that produced these extraordinary and beautiful prayers and blessings.
