History
Founded and edited by Donnchadh Ó Corráin of University College Cork since the early 1980s{{refn|group=note|name=Alpha}} until 2016, Ó Corráin passed on this role to
Dáibhí Ó Cróinín (NUI Galway) and Elva Johnston (University College Dublin).{{cite journal |first=Freya |last=Verstraten Veach |url=https://newspapers.bc.edu/?a=d&d=irishliterary20160901-01.2.9 |title=Festschrift for a Scholar |journal=Irish Literary Supplement |volume=36 |number=1 |date=1 September 2016 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190216002212/https://newspapers.bc.edu/?a=d&d=irishliterary20160901-01.2.9 |archivedate=16 February 2019}} Ó Cróinín's work had featured in the first edition. Patrick Wormald also noted two "firsts" in English language scholarship in his review of that edition: Jonas's great life of Columbanus being given its first "sustained treatment" in the language (by Ian N. Wood) and a description of "the beginnings of hagiographical writing in Iceland".{{cite news |first=Patrick |last=Wormald |authorlink=Patrick Wormald |title=Reviews and short notices |publisher=Cambridge University Press |volume=24 |number=93 |date=May 1984 |jstor=30008029}}
