The Irish Texts Society (Irish: Cumann na Scríbheann nGaedhilge) was founded in 1898 to promote the study of Irish literature. It is a text publication society, issuing annotated editions of texts in Irish with English translations and related commentaries.
The organisation was created in London, on 26 April 1898.[1] Douglas Hyde was its first president, Frederick York Powell was its first chairman and Norma Borthwick and Eleanor Hull were the secretaries.[2]
As of 2009, the ITS had published sixty-three items in its main series and twenty items in its subsidiary series.[3] Other publications have included Patrick S. Dinneen's Irish-English Dictionary and the Historical Dictionary of Irish Placenames.[4]
The society holds an annual seminar at University College Cork, with the 21st event taking place in November 2019.[5]
