Tá an bunleagan anseo maraon le leagan Nua-Ghaeilge agus aistriúchán go Béarla a rinne P.L Henry agus leagan i nGáidhlig na hAlban le hAonghus Dubh Mac Neacail. Is é Ciarán Carson a scríobh an réamhrá agus Aodán Mac Póilín an t-iarfhocal. Seoid ealaíne is ea an leabhar seo le léaráidí Brian Ferran agus peannaireacht Donald Murray.

The Amra is one of the earliest works in Gaelic Literature. It was composed soon after Colm Cille’s death on the island of Iona in 597. The original Old Irish is here with a modern Irish version and an English translation by P.L Henry and a Scottish Gaelic version by Aonghus dubh Mac Neacail. The foreword is by Ciarán Carson, and the epilogue by Aodán Mac Póilin. With illustrations by Brian Ferran and calligraphy by Donald Murray this book is a work of art
