Description: British Library MS Harley 913 is an early fourteenth-century trilingual manuscript whose contents display many distinct aspects of the Anglo-Irish sociopolitical reality of the day. This book reveals the pattern of politicised discourse surrounding this important medieval Anglo-Irish cultural artefact that has hitherto obscured, rather than elucidated, the very personal interactions of some of the era's key figures.
