D.A. Binchy's Corpus Iuris Hibernici
First published by DIAS in 1978, this six-volume work offers an in-depth exploration of Brehon Law, Ireland’s indigenous legal tradition.
Compiled between 1963 and 1978 by Professor Binchy, it brings together material from a rich collection of manuscripts, some dating back to the 7th century.
The collection is an essential resource for studying early Irish society and culture.
