In addition, the interplay between the two languages has resulted in an English dialect, Hiberno-Irish, that lends a distinctive syntax and music to the literature written in it.

The earliest Irish writings are inscriptions, mostly simple memorials, on stone in the ogham alphabet, the earliest of which date to the fourth century. The Latin alphabet was in use by 431, when the fifth century Gaulish chronicler Prosper of Aquitaine records that Palladius was sent by Pope Celestine I as the first bishop to the Irish believers in Christ. Pelagius , an influential British heretic who taught in Rome in the early 5th century, fragments of whose writings survive, is said by Jerome to have been of Irish descent. Coelius Sedulius , the 5th century author of the Carmen Paschale , who has been called the "Virgil of theological poetry", was probably also Irish: the 9th century Irish geographer Dicuil calls him noster Sedulius ("our Sedulius"), and the Latin name Sedulius usually translates the Irish name Siadal.

The site has many mentioned awards including the Reese’s Award of the Leprechaun, Celtic Excellence Award, St. Bridy BlackShade, Celtic Thistle, NewHoo! Cool Site, PC Live!

The author to the Irish Literature, Mythology, Folklore, and Drama website can be contacted through email at anniina@luminarium.org. No other information, including phone numbers or addresses, could be found on the site. The information that appears on the site appears to be factual. The site has been around for seven years and the links within the site are current. Many of the web links, that the site allows you access to, are provided by University professors who specialize in Celtic history. Even considering the fact that the site has not been updated in a year and the fact that the site’s author does not lend herself to easy contact, I think that this site would be a good place to do Irish legend research. The fact that the site has been available for seven years and the fact that it is operated through a non-profit organization is a selling point for it. It also contains many great links and it is well organized for easy access to the specific information needed on Celtic history. For these reasons I feel this is a great place for a storyteller to search for information on Celtic tales and history.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... I > Irish Literature Irish Literature It is uncertain at what period and in what manner the Irish discovered the use of letters. It may have been through direct commerce with Gaul , but it is more probable, as McNeill has shown in his study of Irish oghams, that it was from the Romanized Britons that they first learned the art of writing. The Italian alphabet , however, was not the first to be employed in Ireland . Whoever the early Irish may have been who first discovered letters, whether from intercourse with Britain or with Gaul , they did not apparently bring either the Latin or the Greek alphabet back with them to Ireland , but they invented an entirely new one of their own, founded with considerable skill upon the Latin ; this was used in very early times by the Irish Celts for inscriptions upon pillars and gravestones. This ogham script, as it is called, consists of lines, straight or slanting, long or short, drawn either over, under, or through a given straight line, which straight line is in lapidary inscriptions usually formed by the angular edge of a rectangular upright stone. Thus, four cuts to the
