ABSTRACT
Hiberno-Latin Poetry is one of the most extensive genres of Latin poetry to emerge from the West in the early Middle Ages. Some of it is of an incidental, spontaneous nature, but much of it is religious, devotional, or hagiographic. It can best be dealt with through its authors, since, unlike the bulk of Hiberno-Latin literature, much of it can be attributed (perhaps coincidentally) to named persons. The writing of Latin verse in Ireland extended into the late Middle Ages.
