An crann os coill

by Vincent Morley

A study of the life, work and outlook of Aodh Buí Mac Cruitín (c.1680-1755), one of the most prolific Irish-language poets of the 18th century. Mac Cruitín (known as Hugh Mac Curtin in English) was also the author of two books: *A Brief Discourse in Vindication of the Antiquity of Ireland* (Dublin, 1717), and *The Elements of the Irish Language Grammatically Explained in English* (Louvain, 1728).
