London: Johannes Crook, 1656. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in contemporary blind-ruled calf (discreet repairs to spine, boards a little bowed.) A very fine, fresh copy. Provenance: Robert Davies (early signature on title); Robert Pirie. Very rare. ESTC locates 6 copies in the U.S.: Harvard, Folger, Huntington, UCLA, Yale., B.C. First edition, edited by the Irish historian, scholar, and manuscript collector Sir James Ware (1594-1666) of the only two extant works by St. Patrick, : his autobiographical "Confessio" (our only authentic source for the greater part of St. Patrick's life and mission) and the "Epistola" to the soldiers of Coroticus, in which Patrick, using his authority as Bishop of Ireland, condemns the men who had attacked and enslaved members of Patrick's Irish Christian converts. Slavery was particularly abhorrent to Patrick, who himself had been enslaved at age 16 (He escaped six years later.) For an in-depth life of Patrick, see Clare Stancliffe, Patrick [St Patrick,… Read More

Louvain: by Martin van Overbeke, 1728. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in contemporary calf (upper joint and corners mended). The text is in in excellent condition. First edition of this Irish grammar, printed in English and Irish at the Irish Franciscan College in Louvain, by the Irish poet and antiquary Hugh MacCurtin (Aodh 'Buí' Mac Cruitín). MacCurtin tells us that he came to publish this work after forty years of studying the Irish language and finding all available grammars and instructional texts wanting. However, the text is largely taken from an unpublished "Grammatica Anglo-Hibernica, or a brief introduction to the Irish language"(ca. 1713) by the Gaelic scribe and lexicographer Francis Walsh (Proinsias Bhailís)(1654-1724). MacCurtin omitted "certain passages with which he possibly disagreed, such as Walsh's suggestion that the Latin character was more suitable than the Irish character for printing purposes as it was less expensive and common to all nations."(Ní Mhunghaile,… Read More
