Historical Essays on the Kingdom of Munster, The MacCarthy Mór, Prince of Desmond — 1st Edition

Publication: Kansas City, Missouri, The Irish Genealogical Foundation, 1994 Formatting: 8vo, pp. N/A.

Condition Report: Very Good. The blue cloth binding remains tight and structurally sound, showing only minor bumping to the extremities and a few faint, superficial handling marks to the rear board. The gilt tooling and titling to the front board and spine remain exceptionally bright and unoxidised. Internally, the text block is square and securely bound, with the edges remaining clean and free of prominent blemishes. The pages are crisp, bright, and free from foxing, prior ownership inscriptions, or significant wear, presenting a highly readable and well-preserved copy.

Catalogue Note: First edition. This volume features a Foreword by Peter Berresford Ellis and is presented in its original, unclipped blue cloth binding.

This specific title is scarce on the open market, appealing heavily to collectors of Irish genealogy and those researching the specific history of the MacCarthy dynasty.

Historical Essays on the Kingdom of Munster presents a detailed and deeply researched exploration into the ancient history of Munster and the significant role of the MacCarthy family. Written by The MacCarthy Mór, Prince of Desmond, this work delves into the genealogical roots, political influence, and legacy of one of Ireland's most prominent historical dynasties, offering an essential resource for Celtic scholars and genealogical enthusiasts alike.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
