Fionn Cycle Bibliography

In compiling this bibliography of Fenian/Ossianic sources and scholarship, I have had reference to Stichting A.G. van Hamel voor Keltische Studies' online database, CODECS, and online course bibliographies from the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Dates of primary texts, when given, should not be taken as definitive, although effort has been made to provide the most recently assessed dates.

I would like to compile as complete a bibliography as possible. There are undoubtedly resources that I have overlooked. I welcome your suggestions! 

Some sections are marked 'coming soon' in the drop-down menus. Since this is a 'spare time' project, 'soon' is relative and depends on how much time I have to spare.
