The great Celtic scholar Kuno Meyer edits and translates, for the first time, a medieval Irish collection of sayings arranged in threes, preserved in manuscripts such as the Yellow Book of Lecan. They range from the three heights of wisdom to the three things that show a fool, along with triads of places, laws, virtues and vices, with notes and a glossary.

A compact window on the wit and values of early Ireland, prized by students of Celtic literature. Download the free EPUB.
