🚨 Celtica is now available open-access! This is the result of painstaking work going on behind the scenes since 2022. Issues 33 to 36 (2021–24) are now online, and future issues will appear online & in print. We will also digitize the back issues of the journal.

This edition examines the tract's teaching, its relationship to other texts & poetic practice, its complex manuscript transmission & importance for the history of education in Ireland.

Happy to see my book in print!

IGT V is the oldest surviving metrical tract of the Early Modern Irish period (13th/14th cent.), used to train students in poetry, language, and style.
