Two bokes of the histories of Ireland
- Early Modern English
- prose
An English-language history of Ireland, in two parts, written within a short period of time in 1571 by English Jesuit Edmund Campion (1540–1581) and first published by James Ware in 1633. Campion hoped it would prove to the earl of Leicester that he made good use of his time in Ireland and encourage antiquarians to build on his work. However, when in 1577 Holinshed expressed an interest in the work, Campion objected it was not fit for reading let alone publication.
