Ireland - O'FLAHERTY (Roderic) & HELY (James). Ogygia, or, a chronological account of Irish events; collected from very ancient documents, faithfully compared with each other, and supported by the genealogical and chronological aid of the sacred and propane writings of the first nations of the globe. Dublin, W. M'Kenzie, 1793. 2 vol. in-8, blond half-chagrin with corners, spine ribbed, title page (modern binding but boards preserved). First edition of the English translation of this work by the Irish historian and bard Ruaidhrí Ó Flaithbheartaigh or Roderick O'Flaherty (1629-c. 1716-1718). Ogygie is the name of the mythical island where Calypso's cave was located in the Odyssey. According to ancient texts, it is located in Malta (Gozo) or off the coast of Morocco (Perejil), but O'Flaherty (after researching the writings of Plutarch) also likened it to Ireland, the only island west of Brittany. As it takes 5 days to reach the island, other authors have even likened it to Newfoundland, Greenland or Iceland. Rare. Some foxing. Ex-libris JM.
