			Comment: A collection of 
			Scotland's earliest poetry translated from Latin, Gaelic and Norse 
			and an invaluable collection at that. Unfortunately, only the 
			translations are included. However, it includes valuable notes on 
			each poem and poet. Of particular interest to readers it includes 
			the Carmen De Morte Sumerledi (Song on the Death of Somerled) 
			and the great praise poem to Angus Mor Macdonald of Islay. |
