Studies in the History of Dalriada

By John Bannerman 

Published by The Scottish Academic Press, 1974. First Edition. Hardback book in dust jacket. 178 pages.

This book looks at the continuing contacts between Northern Ireland and DálRiata in Scotland in the first century and a half of the latter's existence from c. 500 - c. 643; it examines the Scottish material in the Irish annals, the single most important source for the political history of DálRiata; it also includes an edition, with historical commentary, of the "Senchus Fer nAlban", in origin a seventh century document which besides recording the genealogies of the ruling families of DálRiata is also in some degree a census of the military and economic resources of its people

CONDITION
A very good copy. The dust jacket is in very good condition and remains unclipped but there is a little surface loss to the spine. The book itself is very good throughout. Overall a very fine copy.
