Reading for Week Three: Selections From Topographia Hiberniae By Gerald Of Wales

Its title notwithstanding, Topography of Ireland written by Gerald of Wales in 1185-1188 is more concerned with history than it is with geography. It was popular and well received in ecclesiastical circles in the late twelfth century.

Please listen to this reading in preparation for week three of the Werewolves Course.
