From an age when warring kings ruled over Ireland and druids still roamed the land, How to Be Noble presents lively new translations of the earliest Irish wisdom literature from the Celtic tradition. For the first time, Philip Freeman has collected these ancient texts from scattered medieval manuscripts and translated them for modern readers. The result is a wonderful collection of pithy sayings that offer timeless wisdom about friends, family, marriage, love, leadership, justice, and finding joy even when life is difficult.

How to Be Noble gathers the best of ancient Celtic wisdom from works that include The Counsels of Cormac, The Testament of Morann, The Sayings of Flann F铆na, The Precepts of C煤 Chulainn, The Alphabet of Luigne mac 脡rem贸in, The Instruction of Cuscraid, and The Triads of Ireland. Filled with advice for kings and commoners alike, these wry, spiritual, and earthy sayings often connect the nobility of a people鈥檚 ruler and their prosperity: 鈥淚t is through the truth of a ruler that an abundance of fish swim in the streams.鈥� Another saying asserts, 鈥淕ood fortune is better than treasure.鈥� One observes, 鈥淭hree sparks that kindle love: a face, a glance, a word.鈥� And another advises, 鈥淒on鈥檛 be a flea in the ale in a king鈥檚 house.鈥�

Complete with an illuminating introduction and the original Old Irish text on facing pages, How to Be Noble is a treasury of memorable sayings that offer fascinating insights into the life and thought of ancient Ireland.
