History

Founded and edited by Donnchadh Ó Corráin of University College Cork since the early 1980s [note 1] until 2016, Ó Corráin passed on this role to

Dáibhí Ó Cróinín (NUI Galway) and Elva Johnston (University College Dublin). [1] Ó Cróinín's work had featured in the first edition. [2] Patrick Wormald also noted two "firsts" in English language scholarship in his review of that edition: Jonas's great life of Columbanus being given its first "sustained treatment" in the language (by Ian N. Wood) and a description of "the beginnings of hagiographical writing in Iceland". [2] The Irish Times has credited the journal with featuring the work of scholars who might elsewhere have been neglected. [3]

Publication history

The journal is published by Brepols. [4] It has been available since the early 1980s. [note 1]

Notes

  1. 1 2 The Irish Literary Supplement gives 1980 as the year of foundation, The Irish Times 1982. [1] [3] Patrick Wormald in Irish Historical Studies indicates first publication as having been in 1982. [2]
