New publication alert "Ireland’s Holy Wells"

Holy wells hold an important place in Ireland’s cultural heritage and religious tradition, offering visitors a peaceful place for personal devotion, prayer and healing. This publication provides an account of their traditions, folklore, biodiversity value and origins.

Authored by archaeologist Tamlyn McHugh and richly illustrated with images from the National Library collections as well as modern photography. It also provides guidance on how to care for holy wells telling us that sometimes we should just ‘leave well alone’! It is also available in Irish.

The great Spanish writer Javier Marías has just passed away. He writes, wittily, lyrically, about time, about books, about the experience of being human. Some recommendations: "All Souls," "Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me," "A Heart So White." RIP

Then there's a commentary on Selections of Horace, with comment from the motley crew of Baxter-Gesner-Zeunius (London, 1809). Then a very rare book, the Hon. Ed. Lyttelton's "Are We To Go On With Latin Verses?" (answer obvious; London,1897). And some Latin verses by C.J. Fordyce.

[Antigone Journal @AntigoneJournal]

OK, a smorgasbord here. There's a leaf of the Froben Latin Bible, with commentary by Nicholas of Lyra (Basel, 1498). This bit's on the Book of Nahum. Then there's two pairs of Valpy's Delphin editions (1822), which contain Propertius and Martial, commented on from myriad angles.

Over the next few days we will be running three raffles for the fun of it: one of Latin things, one of Greek things, and one of other Classics things of interest. The first one's Latin. RT this message (& follow us!) and you're in the draw!
