Synopsis

""A Collection of Gaelic Proverbs and Familiar Phrases: Based on Macintosh's Collection (1882)"" by Alexander Nicolson is a comprehensive compilation of traditional Gaelic proverbs and phrases. The book is based on the work of Scottish Gaelic scholar Alexander Macintosh, who collected and published a large number of Gaelic proverbs in the late 19th century. Nicolson's book includes over 2,000 proverbs and phrases, each with an English translation and an explanation of its meaning and usage. The proverbs cover a wide range of topics, from everyday life and relationships to nature and the supernatural. The book is organized thematically, with chapters on subjects such as love, death, animals, and weather. There is also a section devoted to proverbs and phrases related to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, where Gaelic is still spoken today. In addition to the proverbs themselves, the book includes an introduction by Nicolson that provides historical and cultural context for the proverbs, as well as a glossary of Gaelic terms and an index of English translations. Overall, ""A Collection of Gaelic Proverbs and Familiar Phrases"" is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Gaelic language and culture, as well as for students of folklore, linguistics, and anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
