An Antiquarian Compendium

Peter Harbison presents some little-known gems by George Victor Du Noyer, from the library of the Royal Irish Academy.


An Antiquarian Compendium

The Royal Irish Academy, which started its life in Dublin’s Grafton Street and moved in 1852 to become a neighbour of the Mansion House in Dawson Street, contains little-known treasures of various kinds which have now been highlighted in a new book which the Academy will be publishing shortly.¹ It once had many more, before its collection of prehistoric and medieval antiquities were transferred to Kildare Street when the National Museum opened its doors in 1890
