abstract:Script size has long been used as one of the factors to distinguish the early Irish legal tracts from their accompanying glosses and commentary. This article examines the role of script size used in Irish legal manuscripts and argues that it is an unreliable guide. Heptads 64 and 65 will be used as a case study to argue this point.

abstract:This article offers an edition, translation, and study of Madog of Edeirnion’s Strenua cunctorum, a Welsh-Latin poem from the thirteenth century. The poem serves as a preface for Madog’s own peculiar recension of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s De gestis Britonum, and, as such, it is valuable as one of the few direct commentaries on Geoffrey’s history surviving from medieval Wales. In general, Madog’s poem tells a familiar story: the medieval Welsh approached Geoffrey’s De gestis Britonum with pride and enthusiasm. This article also addresses the identity of Madog of Edeirnion, arguing that the conflation with the Welsh-language poet Madog ap Gwallter is mistaken and that the two should be considered separate authors. Finally, this article takes into account the early modern copy of the poem found in Corpus Christi College MS 281 to suggest that Madog’s poem might have circulated in late medieval Wales.
本文对13世纪威尔士-拉丁诗歌《Strenua cunctorum》的Madog进行了版本、翻译和研究。这首诗是马多格对蒙茅斯的杰弗里的《英国人》的独特改编的序言，因此，它是中世纪威尔士幸存下来的为数不多的对杰弗里历史的直接评论之一，很有价值。总的来说，马多格的诗讲述了一个熟悉的故事:中世纪的威尔士人带着骄傲和热情接近杰弗里的《英国人》。本文还讨论了edirnion的马多格的身份，认为与威尔士语诗人马多格·格沃特(Madog ap Gwallter)的混淆是错误的，两者应该被视为不同的作者。最后，本文考虑了在科珀斯克里斯蒂学院MS 281中发现的这首诗的早期现代副本，以表明马多克的诗可能在中世纪晚期的威尔士流传。

abstract:As a verb-second language, one expects Middle Cornish to allow only a single argument/complement to appear in the left periphery of affirmative root clauses. Object personal pronouns never occur in the left periphery, but a full non-adjunct XP and subject personal pronoun do, in fact, coöccur in 329 clauses in our corpus—in that order, in all but a single token—, presumably owing to poetic overdetermination, which alters the morphosyntax and surface configuration in order to enable the required syllable-count or end-rhyme in the verse line. George 1990 & 1991, based upon an analysis of Beunans Meriasek, finds five tokens of full object DP and subject personal pronoun which coöccur in the left periphery, which, he states, are not motivated by poetic overdetermination. He concludes, on that basis, that the construction is generated by the grammar. In this paper, we collect all of the tokens of this construction in the verse corpus of Middle Cornish and propose that they are all, ultimately, motivated by poetic overdetermination, not only in order to enable the required syllable-count or end-rhyme, but sometimes also to encode pragmatic information.

This paper investigates identification copula clauses linking substantives of different gender, e.gg., as in OIr. Crístdidiu, is sí inchathir ‘Christ, then, is the city’ and CIr. Anleabhar, is í aneagna ‘The book is wisdom’; the copula identification clause with pronominal subject, e.gg., MIr. Issémo lennáné ‘He is my beloved’ and CIr. Is é an seanadhhé ‘It is the old tradition’; and the Classical Irish type with substantives of different gender and subject pronoun, e.g., Motheanga, is ém’arm-saí ‘My tongue is my weapon’. It argues that the pronoun following the copula in such phrases is a mere shoe-horn to the following defined substantive, that the iss é mo lennán é type should not be classified under the rubric ‘repetition of the pronoun’, as is often done, and seeks to explain why the construction Mo theanga, is é m’armsa í, with different gender in the substantives, is more likely to be encountered in Classical verse than the type with just one gender.
本文研究了连接不同性别实体的识别联结子句。，如OIr。Críst didiu, sí在椅子上，“基督就是城”，CIr. anleabhar， í是鹰，“书就是智慧”;带有代词主语的联结词识别从句，例如:米尔。“他是我的爱人”，“他是我的爱人”，“他是我的爱人”，“这是古老的传统”;而带有不同性别和主语代词的古典爱尔兰语类型，例如，Mo theanga，是“我的舌头是我的武器”，“m ' arm-sa í”。它认为，在这些短语中，与动词连在一起的代词仅仅是下面定义的实体的一个鞋角，iss mo lennán 类型不应该被归类为“代词的重复”，就像人们经常做的那样，并试图解释为什么结构mo theanga, is m ' armsa í，在实体中具有不同的性别，比只有一种性别的类型更容易在古典诗歌中遇到。

ABSTRACT:This article provides a critical edition and translation of a dialogue between the mythical king, Cormac, and his son, Coirpre. In the first part, Coirpre confesses to raping a woman. Cormac asks why he did such a thing, and Coirpre’s excuses for his actions follow in a series of repetitive questions and answers. The second part of the dialogue is ascribed entirely to Cormac and forms his ‘instructions’ to his son. They describe the steps from flirtation to kissing to seduction to conception without resorting to violence. Cormac’s ‘instructions’ also touch upon the real legal consequences of begetting a child, whether by rape or consent.

abstract:This article seeks to establish a poetics of irony in Early Middle Irish literature centring on anticlerical irreverence, misogyny, and ethnic stereotyping. Using a cluster of tenth-century narratives in the Book of Leinster, this study reads within and between texts to attempt to delineate conventions of genre and style which can be used to make the case for ironic readings of these and other texts. It is tentatively suggested that such anecdote-length humorous texts may have been used for pedagogical purposes, and the relationship between anticlerical texts and those which critique poets is briefly explored.
