A Celtic Psaltery

A Celtic Psaltery is a book of poetry by Alfred Perceval Graves, first published in 1917. The collection features mainly English verse translations of Irish and Welsh poetry, with a focus on Celtic mythology, folklore, and history. The title of the book is a reference to the biblical Book of Psalms, which contains hymns and prayers that were traditionally sung in worship services. The poems in A Celtic Psaltery draw on similar themes of spirituality, morality, and praise, but with a distinctly Celtic flavor. The book is divided into sections based on different themes, such as love, nature, and war. The translations are faithful to the original texts, but also aim to capture the beauty and rhythm of the Celtic languages. Overall, A Celtic Psaltery is a rich and evocative collection of poetry that celebrates the unique culture and heritage of the Celtic peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
