This book will appeal to various specialist readerships, as well as to lay readers. The specialist constituencies will be scholars of medieval Irish, scholars of Irish folklore, and scholars of charms and magic more generally. The interdisciplinary inherent in the collection will contribute to its broad appeal, also internationally. Another possible readership might wish to learn about alternative medical practices, whether or not rooted in western traditions.
