Ireland's Round Towers by Tadhg O'Keeffe Pdf

The round tower is Ireland’s most distinctive medieval monument. This book explores the towers’ qualities as works of architecture as well as examining their relationships with other buildings at the sites on which they stand. The author suggests how the towers were employed in ceremonies and other ritualised activities of the Viking Age church in Ireland. They prove to be crucial evidence in a new history of Irish Christianity between the Viking raids and the late 12th-century invasion.

Irish Round Towers by Roger Stalley Pdf

From Glendalough in Wicklow to Kilmacduagh in Galway, and from Tory Island off the Donegal coast to Ardmore in Waterford, so-called round towers punctuate the Irish landscape in a memorable and often dramatic way. We know of the existence of over eighty examples, though it is likely that there were once many more, perhaps over a hundred in the country as a whole. While some have been restored, many survive as ruins, and a few are only known from historical sources. Most scholars believe that the Irish round tower must have been based on prototypes abroad, and there are depictions of round towers in ivories and manuscript illuminations, both European and Byzantine, from the sixth century onwards. But a century or more ago, the purpose of the towers was the focus of much speculation and eccentric theorising. For some they were fire temples, designed for sun worship; others saw them as primitive astronomical observatories. In Irish Round Towers Professor Roger Stalley looks into this and the other questions that surround these unique monuments to a lost time. Establishing the historical context of the towers, he asks: when were the towers built, who built them, and how were they built

The Mysterious Round Towers of Ireland by Thomas Sheridan Pdf

This book will attempt to demonstrate-regardless of various scientific and other methods claiming to confirm the Christian origin of the Round Towers of Ireland-that the debate surrounding their actual history and function is still far from conclusively proven. There exists enough shadow and vagueness within the topic to suggest a far more profound and ancient mystery-when we incorporate a polymath-style approach-by examining the history of the Round Towers without ecclesiastical eyes. Peeling back the layers of accepted narratives surrounding the towers reveals a very different story below the numerous facades and fables which have been placed upon the Round Tower story. Facades and fables designed to hide their true origins.
