Isaac

• Parnell ousted Isaac Butt from leadership", letter, 15/11/26 to Harriet Shaw Weaver

• Isaac, son of Abraham, second of the patriarchs and father to Jacob and Esau. Isaac was fooled into blessing Jacob, the younger son (who had the aid of his mother, Rebecca), instead of Esau, the elder son, when Jacob wore a goatskin on his arms and neck in order to appear as his more hairy brother.
