"The Triads of Ireland" by Kuno Meyer is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. This text is a collection of traditional Irish triads—or groups of three sayings or concepts—compiled and translated for the first time from various ancient manuscripts. The primary focus of the book is to present these triads, which cover a wide range of subjects, including nature, morality, and social customs, enriching the understanding of early Irish culture and literary forms. The opening of this volume introduces the concept and significance of the triads, detailing their historical context and the manuscripts from which they were sourced. Kuno Meyer outlines the origins of these triads in Irish literature, noting their frequent use as mnemonic devices and their grouping by themes. He provides examples of triads, illustrating the rich and varied subjects they encompass, such as legal customs, notable places in Ireland, and moral observations, setting the stage for the deeper exploration of this unique literary practice.
