Pierre recommended this book in a discussion today, reflecting curiously on how the Irish were great transmitters of culture, and leaning in secreted and islanded monasteries. I was surprised to run into this thought affected as I am of the Irish being morbidly depressed, with chips on their shoulders, inclined to being mafia, etc. Pierre rejoined that the great center of Neoplatonic learning right now is in Dublin, that Frances Yates too was there. amazon/How-Irish-Saved-Civilization-Irelands/dp/0385418493/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1394155269&sr=1-1&keywords=how+the+irish+saved+civilization+by+thomas+cahill
