Ollam
Ollam (“ollav”), named for the ancient title of Ireland’s chief poets, celebrates the career of Tomás Ó Cathasaigh, Henry L. Shattuck Professor of Irish Studies at Harvard University, who is one of the foremost interpreters of the rich and fascinating world of early Irish saga literature. It is a complement to his own book of essays, Coire Sois, the Cauldron of Knowledge: A Companion to Early Irish Saga, also edited by Matthieu Boyd (University of Notre Dame Press, 2014), and a sequel to his classic monograph The Heroic Biography of Cormac mac Airt (Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1977) and as such it begins to show the richness of his legacy.

The Four Masters and Their Manuscripts
Led by Brother Míchél Ó Cléirigh, O.F.M., the Four Masters worked together between 1630 and 1636 to compile a series of historical tracts and records that are among the most important Irish writings from any century. No part of these productions was destined to appear in print in the years following completion, but in all cases autograph manuscripts have survived the intervening centuries. The distinction of The Four Masters and their manuscripts is that it treats the compilers as scribes as well as chroniclers, and their collaboration as combining individual endeavours, capable of being differentiated through palaeographical and textual analysis. The scribal styles and independent manuscript legacy of each of the two most outstanding members of the group Míchél Ó Cléirigh and Cú Coigcríche Ó Cléirigh are documented here for the first time. A final chapter looks at their lives and those of their two associates Fear Feasa Ó Maoil Chonaire and Cú Coigcríche Ó Duibhgeannáin in the aftermath of their joint enterprise, when war and conquest impacted around them with destructive consequences for the culture and learned institutions of Gaelic Ireland.
