Auraicept na N-Éces
The Scholars Primer
by
George Calder
|
Auraicept na N-Éces, or the Scholars Primer, was originally and Irish book of grammar composed by Longarad. Here we present George Calder’s translations of the original work including the related sections on Ogam from the Book of Ballymote, the Yellow Book of Lecan, and the Book of Leinster.
This is one of the most sought after texts on Ogam, one can rarely find a copy for purchase on the open market and then because of its rarity it is usually priced well out of reach for many researchers.
After much searching we are pleased to present the entire text. Please do not let this work fade in to obscurity, distribute it freely.

This in an article presented to the St. Paul’s Ecclesiological Society,

On a
Ogham Inscription
by
Charles Graves
|
This article on Ogham inscriptions was presented to the Royal Irish Academy,
by Charles Graves in May of 1878. Charles Graves is the grandfather of Robert Graves, who wrote the notorious White Goddess. However it should be noted that Charles like the rest of the scholastic world, thoroughly disputed Roberts work as utter nonsense in a pretty bonnet. Charles Graves continues to this day to be considered a respected source on Irish history.
