O'Fogharta's _Siamsa an Gheimhridh_
(Dublin, 1892); J. Lloyd's _Sgealaidhe Oirghiall_ (Dublin, 1905); and
Larminie's _West Irish Folk-Tales_ (London, 1893). The most important
collections of folk-songs are _Love-Songs of Connaught_ (Dublin, 1893)
and _Religious Songs of Connaught_ (Dublin, 1906), both published by
Hyde. The most extensive collection of proverbs is the one entitled
_Seanfhocla Uladh_ by Henry Morris (Dublin, 1907). See also T.
O'Donoghue, _Sean-fhocail na Mumhan_ (Dublin, 1902).

AUTHORITIES.--In the absence of a comprehensive history, the best
manual is Eleanor Hull's _Text Book of Irish Literature_ (2 parts,
London, 1904-1908; vol. 2 contains a bibliographical appendix). D.
Hyde's larger _History of Irish Literature_ (London, 1899) is only
trustworthy as regards the more _modern_ period. A full bibliography
of all published material is contained in G. Dottin's article "La
litterature gaelique de l'Irlande" (_Revue de synthese historique_,
vol. iii. pp. 1 ff.). Dottin's article has been translated into
English and supplemented by Joseph Dunn under the title of _The Gaelic
Literature of Ireland_ (Washington, 1906, privately printed). The
following are important works:--W. Stokes and J. Strachan, _Thesaurus
Palaeohibernicus_ (2 vols., Cambridge, 1901-1903); J.H. Bernard and R.
