The Brehon Laws

The Brehon Laws: A Legal Handbook (1894) is a book written by Laurence Ginnell that provides a comprehensive overview of the ancient Irish legal system known as the Brehon Laws. The Brehon Laws were a set of legal codes and customs that governed Ireland from pre-Christian times until the 17th century. The book is divided into three sections: the first section provides an introduction to the Brehon Laws and their historical context, the second section provides a detailed analysis of the laws themselves, and the third section provides a glossary of legal terms and a bibliography for further reading. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both legal scholars and general readers interested in Irish history and culture. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the legal system of ancient Ireland and its impact on Irish society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
