Comment: A collection of
Scotland's earliest poetry translated from Latin, Gaelic and Norse
and an invaluable collection at that. Unfortunately, only the
translations are included. However, it includes valuable notes on
each poem and poet. Of particular interest to readers it includes
the Carmen De Morte Sumerledi (Song on the Death of Somerled)
and the great praise poem to Angus Mor Macdonald of Islay.
