About this product

Product Information

This is a reprint of Kuno Meyer's translation of the ancient Irish saga Tairired na nD ssi - 'The Wanderings of the D ise' with a new preface by Gerald A. John Kelly. The saga is also known in English as 'The Expulsion of the D isi'. This translation, with Old Irish and English on facing pages, originally appeared in Y Cymmrodor magazine in 1901. Full of sex, violence, sorcery, prophecy, and horror, Tairired na nD issi is the origin-tale of the D isi Oirthir ('D ise of the East'), also known as the D isi Mumhan ('D ise of Munster'). Sometime between the 4th and 8th centuries, they conquered and occupied a territory roughly equal to the modern dioceses of Waterford and Lismore in what is now Co. Waterford. The county itself is often called 'The Decies' in their honor. The royal dynasty of the D ise Mumhan are the D l Fiachach Suidge - the protagonists of this saga. Their descendants are still among us: the Bric family of the D ise (anglicized as O'Brick and distinct from the Bruic / O'Brick family of the D l gCais) and the Faol in family of the D ise (variously anglicized as O'Phelan, O'Whalen, Whelan, Fallen, etc.). In addition, it is likely that many who live in the territory of The Decies today descend from one or more of the thirty-two forshloinnte ('alien kindreds') listed in the saga as recruits and allies of the D l Fiachach Suidge.
