New Survey of Clare Island: v. 4: Abbey
Royal Irish Academy (Verlag)
978-1-904890-05-8 (ISBN)
In 1909-11 Robert Lloyd Praeger brought a team of 100 scientific specialists from all over Europe to map the flora, fauna, geology and archaeology of Clare Island, a small, exposed Atlantic island off the west coast. The gathering led to the publication of the path-breaking ‘Clare Island Survey’. A century later the survey was repeated as the 'New Survey of Clare Island' (1992-2009) and both works were published extensively by the Royal Irish Academy. This fourth volume in the series is devoted to the Abbey on Clare Island - a national monument in State care - which has retained much of its medieval wall paintings. It documents the images, illustrates them in colour and places them in the context of late medieval Irish art.

He is co-editor of two volumes in the New Survey of Clare Island Series, New Survey of Clare Island Volume 4: The Abbey (2005) and New Survey of Clare Island Volume 5: Archaeology (2007). John Waddell is a former Professor of Archaeology and Head of the School of Geography and Archaeology at NUI Galway. Appointed Professor of Archaeology in 1998, he is a member of the Royal Irish Academy.
