About this text

Lady Gregory († 1932): public-domain work. The text is that of la transcription établie par Erostrate sur le fac-similé d'Internet Archive (Cuchulain of Muirthemne: the Story of the Men of the Red Branch of Ulster, arranged and put into English by Lady Gregory, with a preface by W. B. Yeats, fourth edition, London, John Murray, 1911). Erostrate has not changed a single word: only the layout and the division into pages are ours.

Note on the edition (in French): Texte de la quatrième édition (1911), avec la dédicace, la préface de W. B. Yeats et sa note finale ; sans les notes finales de Lady Gregory. Texte établi en collationnant deux lectures du scan, divergences relues sur l'image.
