General notes

"The poem that follows exists in three versions, two manuscripts - the "Purgatorium hibernicum" (c. 1670) and "The Fingallian travesty" (c. 1686), both of which are now printed for the first time - and The Irish Hudibras, printed in London in 1689. The text ... is a coarsely-worded travesty of the sixth book of Virgil's Aeneid"--Page xi Includes bibliographical references (pages xiii-xv)
