Etat : Sehr gut. A new edition complete in one volume. VIII; 195 S. Schönes Ex.; es fehlt die Seite bzw. das Blatt 39/40. - Ossian ist ein angeblich altgälisches Epos aus der keltischen Mythologie. Diese "Gesänge des Ossian" hat in Wirklichkeit der Schotte James Macpherson (1736-1796) geschrieben. Als namensgebendes Vorbild für die Titelfigur suchte er sich Oisín aus, den Sohn des Fionn mac Cumhail. Inhalt der Gesänge sind episch dargestellte Schlachten und die Schicksale auserwählter edler Helden, die sich meist um die Rettung von Königreichen bemühen. Neben dem namensgebenden Ossian, seinem Vater Fingal und seinem Sohn Oscar (der mythologische Oscar) lässt Macpherson etliche Figuren auftreten, die teils an keltische Sagengestalten angelehnt sind, teils aber auch frei erfunden wurden. Auch die Handlungsorte sind manchmal real, manchmal Fiktion. Dazu gehören: Fingals Jugendliebe Agandecca; Oscars Verlobte Malvina; Agandeccas Vater König Starno von Lochlin; Agandeccas Bruder Swaran; Oscars Mörder Cairbar, eine Spiegelung von Cairbre Lifechar; und der Heerführer Cuthullin, eine Spiegelung Cú Chulainns. Die Handlung spielt: in Morven, dem Reich Fingals im schottischen Hochland; in Selma, der Burg Fingals; in Temora, dem historischen Temair (Tara); und in Lochlin (Skandinavien). // A PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE -- Preface -- A dissertation concerning the aera of Ossian -- A dissertation concerning the poems of Ossian -- Dr Blair's critical dissertation on the poems of Ossian -- CATH-LODA, IN THREE DUANS -- COMALA -- CARRIC-THURA -- CARTHON -- OINA-MORUL -- COLNA-DONA -- OITHONA -- CROMA -- CALTHON AND COLMAL -- THE WAR OF CAROS -- CATHLIN OF CLUTHA -- SUL-MALLA OF LUMON -- THE WAR OF INIS-THONA -- THE SONGS OF SELMA -- FINGAL, in six BOOKS -- LATHMON -- DAR-THULA // u.a.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Macpherson, James. The poems of Ossian, translated by James Macpherson, Esq., to which are prefixed a preliminary discourse and dissertations on the era and poems of Ossian. London: printed for J. Walker [et al], 1812. Hardback, VG. Black leather, bumped to corners. Gilt frame to front and back. Spine in 5 gilt-decorated panels wit titles ingilt inside red text box to second panel. Binding strong. Frontispiece b/w engraved illustration and illustrated title page. xxxv, 489pp., contents clean and bright. 13cm x 7.5cm approx.Ossian is the narrator and purported author of a cycle of epic poems published by the Scottish poet James Macpherson, originally as Fingal (1761) and Temora (1763) and later combined under the title The Poems of Ossian. Macpherson claimed to have collected word-of-mouth material in Scottish Gaelic, said to be from ancient sources, and that the work was his translation of that material. Ossian is based on Oisín, son of Fionn mac Cumhaill (anglicised to Finn McCool), a legendary bard in Irish mythology. Contemporary critics were divided in their view of the work's authenticity, but the current consensus is that Macpherson largely composed the poems himself, drawing in part on traditional Gaelic poetry he had collected. The work was internationally popular, translated into all the literary languages of Europe, and was highly influential both in the development of the Romantic movement and the Gaelic revival.
