'This delightful collection was first published in 1956 by Oxford University Press; this is the first paperback edition. The texts are supplied with a parallel translation, generous textual and explanatory notes, and a glossary', Medium Aevum.

'Professor Murphy has given us a golden treasury of Irish verse which will be of permanent value to all students of the subject', D. A. Binchy, Celtica (1958).
