Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "O grandson of Conn, O Cormac," said Carbre, "what do you deem the worst thing you have seen?" "Not hard to tell," said Cormac, "Faces of foes in a battle-field." Cormac Mac Airt, a third-century high king of Ireland, ruled during a time of prosperity and is revered for his wisdom and generosity. This set of his instructions, presented in a highly poetic question-and-answer dialogue between the king and his son, offers advice on how to live an honest, respectable, and successful life. The Wisdom of Cormac began as an oral tradition that was transcribed by medieval monks and ultimately translated from the Old Irish by the distinguished scholar Kuno Meyer. A milestone in the long history of Celtic knowledge, its practical and moral directives offer a blueprint from ancient Ireland that has universal resonance for modern readers. AUTHOR: Kuno Meyer (18581919) was a distinguished German scholar of Celtic language and literature. He founded and edited four journals devoted to Celtic studies, published numerous translations of Old and Middle Irish romances and legends, and lectured at universities in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Presented in a question-and-answer dialogue between a king and his son, this ancient Celtic document offers timeless advice on how to live an honest, respectable, and successful life.
