Competing Celticities: Cornish and Irish constructions of Australia by Philip Payton

This book deals in particular with the law of contract in Ireland in the eighth century.It describes the intricate rules designed to ensure fair bargains, and the way in which the law was shaped to accommodate the complex relationships between people in early Irish society. The book includes the first ever edition and translation of di Astud Chor, the central law text on the subject.

Early Irish Contract Law covers a wide range of topics, from the enforcement of contracts and the remedies available for their breach to the institutions of marriage and kinship (there is even a detailed discussion of an ancient list of diseases affecting livestock).
