Missing all the important bits about the history of this work

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

All the politics is missing, including:

Gaelic type came into existence through the promotion of Elizabeth I (based on the letterforms of a tutorial manuscript written for her by an Irish subject)
Gaelic type was created specifically for this project (and was the only set of such type for a long time).
This Anglican book itself was produced with the particular aim of countering the influence in Ireland of Séon Carsuel's Presbyterian Foirm na n-Urrnuidheadh printed only a few years earlier (1567), the first printed book in any variety of Gaelic – namely Classical Gaelic, which was (and was used with the specific intent that it be) understandable by Gaels of Scotland and Ireland alike.

All of this and more is covered in some depth in the Staunton (2005) source we have already cited (so far only for basics already provided by other sources). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
