A Companion to the Corpus Iuris Hibernici (1st Edition) by Liam Breatnach is a comprehensive scholarly work that provides a detailed introduction to the Corpus Iuris Hibernici, a significant collection of early Irish legal texts. These texts, often referred to as the “Body of Irish Law,” form the foundation of early Irish legal traditions and were compiled between the 7th and 9th centuries.

In this book, Breatnach offers a comprehensive analysis of the content, structure, and historical context of the Corpus Iuris Hibernici, discussing its origins, linguistic features, and its role within Irish society during the early medieval period. The Corpus consists of various texts, including the Sechtae, Cáin, and other legal documents that governed matters such as property, marriage, and criminal law in early Ireland.

Breatnach’s work provides insights into how the legal system functioned in early Irish society and how it was influenced by both local traditions and external interactions, particularly with Roman and Christian law. The book explores the interplay between legal principles and societal norms in the medieval Irish world, shedding light on the complexities of the ancient Irish legal system.

Key features of the work include:

  • Analysis of Legal Texts: In-depth examination of the key legal texts that form the Corpus Iuris Hibernici.
  • Historical Context: Exploration of the political, social, and cultural context in which the laws were developed and applied.
  • Linguistic Insights: Study of the Old Irish language used in the texts, helping readers understand the subtleties of early Irish legal terminology.
  • Scholarly Commentary: Critical interpretations and insights into the implications of the legal codes, offering a deeper understanding of early Irish law.

Overall, A Companion to the Corpus Iuris Hibernici is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of law, medieval Irish culture, or early Celtic civilization.
