The Dean of Lismore's Book: A Selection of Ancient Gaelic Poetry

by Unknown

Note.—The numerals refer to the Introduction; the common figures to the English Translation; and the ancient figures to the corresponding Original Gaelic.

Transcriber's Notes for the INDEX:

---

The numbers followed by an italicized “n” refer to footnotes on the specified page. Since all footnotes are collected at the end of the book, the link takes you to the appropriate footnote, rather than the specified page.

The original text uses “common” and “ancient” numerals to distinguish between references to the English or Gaelic versions. In this index, bold signifies the English text and normal indicates the Gaelic.
