Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dublin an Historical Sketch of Ireland´s Metropolis The earliest authentic notice of Dublin occurs in the geography of Ptolemy, who flourished in the second century of our era. His description of the world as then known begins with Hibernia, an honour which the country received from him because of its being the most western in Europe. His map of Ireland is much more correct in its outline than the one he has furnished of Great Britain; in the latter, the portion now called Scotland is made to bend off eastward, nearly at a right angle from the southern portion. The people inhabiting the range northward as far as the river Boyne, including part of Meath, he calls "Eblani," probably as belonging or subject to "Eblana," though some conjecture that the place took its name from the people, not the people theirs from the place.
