The Passions And The Homilies From Leabhar Breac Part 1 is a book written by Robert Atkinson in 1887. The book is a collection of ancient Irish texts that were originally compiled in the 14th century in the Leabhar Breac, a medieval manuscript. The texts in the book are divided into two parts: the Passions and the Homilies. The Passions section of the book contains narratives of the sufferings of saints and martyrs, including St. Patrick, St. Brigid, and St. Columba. These narratives were intended to inspire piety and devotion in the reader. The Homilies section contains sermons and teachings on Christian doctrine, morality, and ethics. These texts were intended to instruct and edify the reader, and to provide guidance on how to live a virtuous life. Atkinson's book provides a valuable insight into the religious and cultural traditions of medieval Ireland. The book is written in English, but the original Irish texts are also included, along with translations and notes. The Passions And The Homilies From Leabhar Breac Part 1 is a valuable resource for scholars of Irish history, literature, and religion, as well as for anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
