All work on Saltair na Rann (SR) has hitherto been based on the edition published by Whitley Stokes in 1883. This is in effect a diplomatic transcription of the text preserved in the 12th Century manuscript in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, known as Rawlinson B 502 (R); a facsimile of this manuscript was published in 1909.
Most usually read in university courses in Middle Irish and with that audience in mind, the present volume offers a text and translation, with a modicum of linguistic annotation and should thus be suitable for class work.
