FIRST OFFER OF A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT: IRISH SAINTS' LIVES:
Dr Ann Buckley of Maynooth writes from the National Forum for Medieval and Renaissance Studies in Ireland (NFMRSI). She is working on a project concerning the veneration of Irish saints in the middle ages - mainly liturgical manuscripts, but linking with scholars interested in the history of the cults of saints in Ireland, Britain and the continent, and the whole social expression this involved in different places and at different times. There is a comparative literature element to this in respect of saints' lives - and how they were recorded in different languages, and across different sources. Medievalists and other interested parties in the CLAI network are invited to contact Dr Buckley (Ann.Buckley@nuim.ie).
The first of many?

NEWS OF AN INTERNATIONAL PROJECT: INDO-IRISH ANTHOLOGY OF WRITING
Dr Maxim Fomin, Lecturer in Humanities at the University of Ulster, Coleraine, alerts us to an intercultural publication project:
The Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi) and the University of Ulster are joining forces to create an anthology of Indian and Irish writing from the earliest times to the present. The anthology is meant to be a reader in Indo-Celtic or Indo-Irish culture, thought, wisdom, politics, and imaginative work. The anthology will consist of extracts from various texts ranging from mythology, folklore, poetry to political and philosophical reflections. It will seek, as much as possible, to pair texts, so that readers can experience the kinships and typological similarities that obtain between the two traditions.
Editors: Professor Séamus Mac Mathúna, Professor Robert Welch, Professor Kapil Kapoor. Assistant editors: Dr Eamonn Ó Ciardha, Dr Maxim Fomin, Dr Rajnish Mishra.
