Book excerpt: This volume contains a number of important studies relating to the archaeology of medieval Dublin, including the results of Antoine Giacometti's excavations piecing together the medieval urban landscape of James's Street; Maire Geaney's new interpretation of the carpentry involved in the Anglo-Norman waterfront revetments at Wood Quay; Sheila Dooley's examination of the 'lost' medieval church of St Michael on the site of the modern Dublinia heritage centre; and Gillian Boazman's study of material culture and identity in the southern hinterland of Hiberno-Norse Dublin in the half-barony of Rathdown. Historical analyses include a re-examination of the origins of the medieval diocese of Dublin by Dagmar O Riain-Raedel; Therese O'Byrne's brilliant new investigation of the networks of Anglo-Irish literary scribes working in later medieval Dublin. Aine Foley pieces together the history of the le Brun family, who were prominent in the life of the medieval city for centuries; Paul Dryburgh re-examines the Dublin connections of Roger Mortimer, first earl of March, lieutenant of Ireland at the time of the Bruce Invasion, and lover of Edward II's queen, Isabella; and Phyllis Gaffney and Yolande Sexton provide a complete English translation of the Anglo-Norman Dublin custumal known as Les leys et les usages de la cite de Diveline from the Dublin Chain Book, a vital source of information about daily life in the medieval city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History and Salvation in Medieval Ireland explores medieval Irish conceptions of salvation history, using Latin and vernacular sources from c. 700–c. 1200 CE which adapt biblical history for audiences both secular and ecclesiastical. This book examines medieval Irish sources on the cities of Jerusalem and Babylon; reworkings of narratives from the Hebrew Scriptures; literature influenced by the Psalms; and texts indebted to Late Antique historiography. It argues that the conceptual framework of salvation history, and the related theory of the divinely-ordained movement of political power through history, had a formative influence on early Irish culture, society and identity. Primarily through analysis of previously untranslated sources, this study teases out some of the intricate connections between the local and the universal, in order to situate medieval Irish historiography within the context of that of the wider world. Using an overarching biblical chronology, beginning with the lives of the Jewish Patriarchs and ending with the Christian apostolic missions, this study shows how one culture understood the histories of others, and has important implications for issues such as kingship, religion and literary production in medieval Ireland. This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval Ireland, as well as those interested in religious and cultural history.

This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a fresh perspective on eleventh- and twelfth-century Irish architecture, and a critical assessment of the value of describing it, and indeed contemporary European architecture in general, as “Romanesque”. Medieval Irish Architecture and the Concept of Romanesque is a new and original study of medieval architectural culture in Ireland. The book’s central premise is that the concept of a “Romanesque” style in eleventh- and twelfth-century architecture across Western Europe, including Ireland, is problematic, and that the analysis of building traditions of that period is not well served by the assumption that there was a common style. Detailed discussion of important buildings in Ireland, a place marginalised within the “Romanesque” model, reveals the Irish evidence to be intrinsically interesting to students of medieval European architecture, for it is evidence which illuminates how architectural traditions of the Middle Ages were shaped by balancing native and imported needs and aesthetics, often without reference to Romanitas. This book is for specialists and students in the fields of Romanesque, medieval archaeology, medieval architectural history, and medieval Irish studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Ireland is often described as a backward-looking nation in which change only came about as a result of foreign invasions. By examining the wealth of under-explored evidence available, Downham challenges this popular notion and demonstrates what a culturally rich and diverse place medieval Ireland was. Starting in the fifth century, when St Patrick arrived on the island, and ending in the fifteenth century, with the efforts of the English government to defend the lands which it ruled directly around Dublin by building great ditches, this up-to-date and accessible survey charts the internal changes in the region. Chapters dispute the idea of an archaic society in a wide-range of areas, with a particular focus on land-use, economy, society, religion, politics and culture. This concise and accessible overview offers a fresh perspective on Ireland in the Middle Ages and overthrows many enduring stereotypes.
