What was Ireland like 500 years ago?
Striking horses, turf fires and a warring, witty and handsome people describe Ireland in a 1478 text by Antonio Beccaria expanding De situ orbis, A survey of the inhabited world, by Dionysius Periegetes, and recently acquired by NUI Maynooth’s library.
At 530 years old, it is NUI Maynooth’s earliest printed book describing Ireland. It will be displayed throughout NUI Maynooth Library’s Social Sciences Festival from the 27th – 30th January.
The exhibition is open to members of the public. For more details, check out http://www.nuim.ie/library/ or call 01-7083884.
