Rezensionen

'It is an excellent place for readers to become oriented not only in the Hibernensis but in the bewildering and important corpus of writings to which it belongs' - Speculum, 98/4.

'... these essays provide a useful point of reference which helps us to contextualise the development of Collectio Canonum Hibernensis' - North American Journal of Celtic Studies, 6/2.
