Description:A bright and readable book giving an overview of the ancient legal codex, Brehon Law.Brehon Law is an incredibly valuable part of our Irish heritage, being not only the oldest legal codex but also a priceless source of information about the earliest culture, customs and practices of this country.

By the time Christian scribes committed them to written documents, therefore, they were already ancient.As such, Brehon Law sources are scarce and often present conflicting information - Jo Kerrigan's Brehon will discuss the genuine laws, insofar as they are known, while offering a fresh, engaging perspective on those which will most resonate with the modern reader.
