Book Description
"The 1641 Depositions are witness testimonies, mainly by Protestants, but also by some Catholics, from all social backgrounds, concerning their experiences of the 1641 Irish rebellion. The testimonies document the loss of goods, military activity, and the alleged crimes committed by the Irish insurgents. This body of material is unparalleled anywhere in early modern Europe. It provides a unique source of information for the causes and events surrounding the 1641 rebellion and for the social, economic, cultural, religious, and political history of seventeenth- century Ireland, England and Scotland. In total, 19,010 manuscript pages in 31 bound volumes held at Trinity College Dublin have been transcribed and are arranged for publication in 12 volumes from 2014 onwards. The depositions are available online at www.1641.tcd.ie ."--Provided by publisher.

Book Description
Located on one side of the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal has long been a land of explorers and fishers. Henry the Navigator founded his famous navigation school there in the 1400s, and Portuguese sailors soon became the best in the world. Portugals colonies once stretched around the globe, but today only two remain under Portuguese control. This book introduces readers to Portugals farming, fishing, pottery, festivals, and many other traditions. From Romans to Moors and from Salazar to a republican government, readers may feel that they too are intrepid explorers as they experience Portugal through primary sources.

Book Description
"This book is intended as an aid to Irish historians on the use of traveller's accounts as source-material. It consists of a discursive introduction, annotations of over 200 accounts from the years 1635-1948, a select bibliography and indexes of travellers and places. The annotations consist of the usual bibliographical details, identification of the traveller, the purpose and period of his or her travel, the exact itinerary followed, his or her mode of transport, the traveller's observations, and persons encountered. Whereas those who have published on Irish travel writing in recent years have generally seen it as another literary genre suitable for development of concepts of literary scholarship (image, identity, influences, etc.). C. J. Woods sees travel narratives as an important primary source of information - on transport, landscape, the economy, society, religion etc. This guide is invaluable to Irish local historians as a means of identifying those accounts that refer to the dark places in which they are interested." --Book Jacket.
