The Celtic Evil Eye and Related Mythological Motifs in Medieval Ireland
The Celtic Evil Eye and Related Mythological Motifs in Medieval Ireland is based on the collection and analysis, over many years, of a large, varied textual corpus and is the culmination of two substantial research-projects established and carried out by the author (Signs of Doom and The Power of Words in Medieval Ireland). This volume presents a theoretical framework encompassing complex religious and cultural concepts. The monograph views medieval Irish culture/religion within a wider global religious/cultural context and opens the field to other academic disciplines by providing updated and annotated translations of a wide range of challenging Irish texts.
