Tuairisc (Description): His Lineage, Life and Learning. viii +428pp. 30 illustrations. This book -the fruit of decades of work on Mac Fhirbhisigh's writings and career--helps us to understand the milieu in which he and others (such as the Four Masters and Keating) laboured. The book contains an account of Dubhaltach's family background with a detailed biographical study and a meticulous assessment of his writings. His great genealogical compilation, edited by Dr. Ó Muraíle and recently published, is examined with unprecedented thoroughness, and a valuable final chapter indicates the debt that subsequent generations of Irish scholars owe to Mac Fhirbhisigh's labours.
