Etat : Sehr gut. First Edition. Octavo. (2), VI, 136 pages. Original, printed wrappers (Original, publisher's Softcover boards). Unusually excellent condition with only minor signs of wear. A very, very rare book ! Douglas Hyde (1860-1949) [known as An Craoibhín Aoibhinn (lit. transl. the pleasant little branch)], a founding member and first president of Conradh na Gaeilge (The Gaelic League) 1893, and later first President of Ireland (1938- 1945), linked the cultural regeneration of Ireland to the language and culture of the contemporary Gaeltacht. Directing his attention to the Irish-speaking areas of his native Connacht , he collected various genres of folk narrative poetry, songs, prayers and charms, and especially the folktales still remembered, though no longer performed for entertainment purposes. His Leabhar Sgeulaigheachta ('Book of Storytelling') (1889) the first collection of folktales in the Irish language was followed in 1890 by the largely bilingual Beside the Fire/Le h-Ais na Teineadh, and by the significant collection of Märchen ('Wonder Tales') with French translations, An Sgéaluidhe Gaedhealach ('The Gaelic Storyteller') (1901), published initially in Annales de Bretagne, vols 10-18 (1895-1901), by Georges Dottin. In Ocht Sgéalta Ó Choillte Mágach ('Eight Stories from Kiltimagh') (1936) and Scéalta Thomáis Uí Chathasaigh/Mayo Stories Told by Tomas Casey (1939), Hyde brought together the repertoire of a single storyteller. His bilingual collections Abhráin Grádha Chúige Connacht or Love Songs of Connacht (1893), Abhráin atá Leagtha ar an Reachtúire/Songs Ascribed to Raftery (1903), and Abhráin Diaga Chúige Connacht or Religious Songs of Connacht (1906), revealed a hidden world of emotion, spirituality and attitudes to poets and poetry of his native province.

(Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 173; Geschichte I, 88 f; Schmid S. 200 ff) First edition. Thomas Hyde was an English orientalist. Hyde was educated at Eton College, and in his sixteenth year entered King's College, Cambridge. He made rapid progress in Oriental languages, so that, after only one year of residence, he was invited to London to assist Brian Walton in his edition of the Polyglott Bible. In 1658 he was chosen Hebrew reader at Queen's College, Oxford, and in 1659, in consideration of his erudition in Oriental tongues, he was admitted to the degree of M.A. In the same year he was appointed under-keeper of the Bodleian Library, and in 1665 librarian-in-chief. Today he is considered the founder of scientific chess history. Condition: Edge wear with bumped corners, hinges rubbed, book plate to front paste down else very good.
