Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

Saoi (Irish pronunciation: [s?i?]) (pl. saoithe; lit. "wise one"; hist. head of poetic school; master) is the highest honour that members of Aosd?na, an association of people in Ireland who have achieved distinction in the arts, can bestow upon a fellow member. No more than seven living members can be so honoured at one time.The title of Saoi is conferred by the President of Ireland (following election from among the membership of Aosd?na) and held for life. A torc (a twist/spiral of gold, worn around the neck) is presented to each Saoi by the President and/or Administrator.
