description: During the early middle ages, the devotional practices of the Irishchurch were distinctive in many ways. Irish private prayer took theform of lengthy strings of intensely-worded petitions to God and hissaints, asking protection for all parts of the sinner's soul and body,against all kinds of sin, all detailed in lengthy and iterative catalogues. The Irish texts are accompanied by English translations on facing pages, historical commentary, and full indices of Irish saints and shrines.Irish Litanies was first published in 1925.
