Preview Ogygia vol. 1

Description:

Ogygia, seu rerum Hibernicarum chronologia , a work dedicated to James II, was first published in London in 1685. In the work he takes the island Ogygia (the island of Calypso in Homer’s Odyssey) as an allegory for Ireland. Drawing on numerous ancient documents, Ogygia attempted to apply developments in chronology to the Irish mythological age. As well as arguing that the kingdom of Ireland was older than either the kingdom of England or Scotland, the book argues that Milesius was the common descendent of the Goidelic people.

Originally published in Latin, this edition from 1793 has been translated into English by the Reverend James Hely.
