Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Excursions Through Ireland, Vol. 1: Comprising Topographical and Historical Delineations of Each Province Ireland, by Cæsar and Tacitus distinguished by the name of Hiberma, by Ptolemy, the geographer, called lvernia, by Diodorus Siculus Iris, and by Strabo Ierne, enjoyed, at a very remote period, considerable celebrity as a seat of religion and learning. After the dawn Of Christianity in Europe, from the number of erudite and holy men it sent as missionaries to other parts of the world, as yet immersed in Gothic ignorance and darkness, this island acquired the dignified title of Insula Sanctorum, or the Isle of Saints - a title which it continued to retain during the fifth and two following centuries. In the eleventh century it was called Scotia, in common with the modern Scotland; and "all correct writers," says Archbishop Usher, "in mentioning the two countries, distinguished them by Vetus et nova Scotia, major or minor, ulterior and citerior." Even so late as the fifteenth century, Ireland is mentioned by foreign writers under this name. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
