Desmond Walter Guinness (8 September 1931 20 August 2020) was an Anglo-Irish author of Georgian art and architecture, a conservationist and the co-founder of the Irish Georgian Society. He was the son of the author and brewer Bryan Guinness, 2nd Baron Moyne, and his then wife Diana Mitford (later Lady Mosley). In 1958, he bought Leixlip Castle, Leixlip, County Kildare, Ireland, where he lived with both his first wife, Princess Henriette Marie-Gabrielle von Urach, generally known as Mariga, and later his second wife, the former Penelope Cuthbertson, whom he married in 1984. Desmond and his wife Mariga founded the Irish Georgian Society in April 1958 to help to preserve Irish architecture of all periods. In 2001 he was made an honorary member of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland and was awarded the gold medal of the Eire Society of Boston. He was a member of the Society of Dilettanti in London. In 2006 he was presented with a Europa Nostra award by the Queen of Spain. In 2010 he headed the Saint Patrick's Day parade in Seattle. In June 2014 he was awarded honorary lifetime membership of the Royal Dublin Society. From the dust jacket flap: "It is in its photographs of less well-known aspects of Dublin's architecture that this book will be especially valued". A section of the book deals with the plasterwork, which is certainly the finest in the British Isles and which is profuesly illustrated. "Rose Saul Zalles was a Washington socialite and world traveler who had a special interest in the history of Ireland. Mrs. Zalles, who often traveled to Ireland, established the Celtic Cultural Program at Georgetown University in 1981, and donated a 6,000-volume collection on Celtic history. She also was a member of the Georgian Society, an organization concerned with the restoration of Irish manor houses and castles. Her grandfather, John Saul, laid out gardens at both Buckingham Palace and the White House and later helped found the National Park Service. Her second husband, Jorge Ezekiel Zalles was a former ambassador to the United Nations from Bolivia. Zalles, the Washington woman revered by the people and government of Ireland, has fortified her "Irish sainthood" with the presentation of the Celtic Cultural Program she is instituting at the Jesuit school. Using a nucleus of an inheritance of a library on Celtic history, Zalles has enlarged the collection to over 6,000 books, most of them ancient. She is presenting them as the Maguire Celtic Book Collection to the Georgetown University's Lauinger Memorial Library. She describes that history as "literally stretching across the belly of Europe, from one end to the other, and going back to 8,000 years before Christ. Archeologists are still finding Celtic artifacts in France and Germany, all the way up to the border of China." The Celts or Celtic peoples were a collection of Indo-European peoples in Europe and Anatolia, identified by their use of Celtic languages and other cultural similarities. The earliest undisputed examples of Celtic language are the Lepontic inscriptions from the 6th century BC. Continental Celtic languages are attested almost exclusively through inscriptions and place-names. Insular Celtic languages are attested from the 4th century AD in Ogham inscriptions, though they were being spoken much earlier. Celtic literary tradition begins with Old Irish texts around the 8th century AD. Elements of Celtic mythology are recorded in early Irish and early Welsh literature. Most written evidence of the early Celts comes from Greco-Roman writers, who often grouped the Celts as barbarian tribes. The Celts were often in conflict with the Romans, such as in the RomanGallic wars, the Celtiberian Wars, the conquest of Gaul and conquest of Britain. By the 1st century AD, most Celtic territories had become part of the Roman Empire. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
