An Irish-English Dictionary by Edward O’Reilly, first published in 1817, is a landmark work in Irish lexicography. It includes over 20,000 Irish words—many of which had never appeared in earlier dictionaries—making it a critical resource for scholars, historians, and language enthusiasts. O’Reilly enhances the definitions with literary citations from ancient and modern Irish texts, ensuring contextual understanding. The dictionary also draws comparisons with Welsh and Hebrew terms, enriching linguistic insight. With additional features like native plant names and a concise Irish grammar, this work stands as a foundational effort to preserve and revitalize the Irish language during a time of decline.

Edward O’Reilly (1765–1830) was a pivotal figure in Irish linguistic and literary scholarship. His most renowned work, An Irish-English Dictionary (1817), introduced over 20,000 Irish words never before documented, preserving a vital part of Ireland's linguistic heritage. He supported his definitions with extensive literary quotations and linguistic comparisons with Welsh and Hebrew. O’Reilly also authored a Chronological Account of Nearly Four Hundred Irish Writers, showcasing Ireland’s literary tradition. His works reflect a deep commitment to cultural preservation during a time of language decline, and they remain foundational texts for Irish language revival, Celtic studies, and historical scholarship to this day.
