In 451 CE the Council of Chalcedon was called to assert the his
translation of the main Irish annalistic text up to 911 is designed
to make early Irish history more accessible to students of Irish
history. The contents of the text constitutes the principal
narrative source for carly Irish history, providing a fascinating
insight into the religious, social and political evolution of
Ireland and its people during this period. From 431 to 740 this
vital source of early Irish history was written on the small island
of Iona off the west coast of Scotland. From then it was contained
at monastery in the Irish midlands (most probably in Brega). This
new two-volume translation is accompanied by a thorough
introduction that places the annals of Ireland within a larger
historical context. The Chronicle of Ireland is an informative and
accessible introduction to the history of ancient Ireland for both
students and scholars of Irish history. Built up from various
individual writings, The Chronicle of Ireland is a truly unique
book and is as important to the history of Ireland as the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicles is to the history of Britain.
