Oireachtas is a later medieval Irish word which seems to evolve from earlier terms such as airecht but which was chosen as the most appropriate word for the legislature of a newly independent Ireland at a time when Irish society was expressing a considerable interest in its ancestral roots and in an ethnic identity expressed by use of Irish terminology. This paper explores the evidence for the submission of agricultural renders to higher political authorities at such assemblies and their ultimate redistribution across both higher and lower levels in Irish society. It is argued that there is little or no evidence for the presence of large numbers of craftsmen engaged in creating goods for sale (as occurred, for example, in Norse market assemblies) at a medieval Irish oireachtas. It is, however, clear that political and legislative assemblies, concerned with political submission, judicial penalties and the material wealth generated by both, were a key element in encouraging the circulation of goods in the m...

The first viceroyalty of Henry Paget, marquess of Anglesey (1768–1854), lasted for less than a year (February 1828–January 1829), but it was a pivotal point in Anglo-Irish politics as the campaign for Catholic emancipation approached its climax. Throughout 1828, the prime minister, the duke of Wellington, at whose side Anglesey had fought at Waterloo, was faced with the increasing necessity to solve the Catholic question and to persuade George IV, who was implacably opposed, of the exigency of the measure. While there has been much in-depth analysis of the period, particularly from the perspectives of Daniel O’Connell, Wellington, and Robert Peel, the home secretary, there has been little exploration of the way in which Anglesey, the lord lieutenant, handled the volatile situation in Ireland, particularly following the Clare by-election and the tumultuous phase that preceded the granting of emancipation in February 1829. Nor has he been credited with the part he played in progressing the cause of Catholic...

BL MS Add. 40767 is a nineteenth-century copy of Richard Plunket’s ‘Rugadh Padraig’, thrown out with other manuscripts by its owner’s descendants in 1899 and rescued by a visitor from Liverpool, who showed four fragments to Kuno Meyer. Meyer wrote to Douglas Hyde, and Hyde wrote to the newspapers, using the episode to castigate the board of intermediate education, which he blamed for the ignorance of Irish language and literature that lay behind such destruction. He was much engaged in an argument over Irish in schools, but here he brings the preservation of modern vernacular manuscripts into the discussion. He shows himself well aware of the important collections in the Royal Irish Academy, but he is at the same time critical of the Academy, whether in line with external prejudice or in the hope of inducing greater effort. Saving manuscripts was not high on the agenda of the Gaelic League, and, though Hyde was himself a collector, he offered no remedy for the loss of manuscripts other than a revival of t...

This article seeks to show that aspects of the late-attested myth of the origin of Cu Chulainn’s gae bolga ‘spear of the bulge’ illuminate medieval descriptions of another remarkable spear, an extraordinary horse that acts like a spear, and a divinatory rod wielded by a spearman: respectively, the luin of Celtchar mac Uthechair, the Derg Druchtach of Conall Cernach, and the flesc of a poet called Lugaid. This finding helps to demonstrate the essential integrity of what might otherwise seem arbitrarily fanciful passages in Mesca Ulad ‘The intoxication of the Ulstermen’, Brislech mor Maige Muirthemni ‘The great rout of Murthemne’ and Sanas Cormaic ‘Cormac’s glossary’. Also included in a footnote is a suggested solution to a crux in Lebor gabala Erenn ‘The book of invasions of Ireland’ concerning Lug’s gae Assail ‘spear of Assal’.
这篇文章试图表明，关于Cu Chulainn的“突出的矛”的起源的后来证实的神话的各个方面，阐明了中世纪对另一种非凡的矛的描述，一匹像矛一样的非凡的马，以及一根由矛兵挥舞的占卜杖:分别是Celtchar mac uchhair的矛，Conall Cernach的Derg Druchtach，以及一个叫Lugaid的诗人的肉。这一发现有助于证明Mesca Ulad的《阿尔斯特人的陶醉》、Brislech more Maige Muirthemni的《Murthemne的大溃败》和Sanas Cormaic的《Cormac的词汇表》中看似随意的段落的本质完整性。脚注中还包括对Lebor gabala Erenn“爱尔兰入侵书”中关于Lug ' s gae Assail“Assal之矛”的关键问题的建议解决方案。

The genre of sentimental fiction of small-town and rural life influenced by theologically liberal Presbyterianism known as ‘kailyard’ originated in Scotland in the late nineteenth century but survived in Ulster into the 1950s, some decades after it had become outmoded in Scotland. The Presbyterian minister Hubert Quinn (1901–72) was one of the later Ulster exponents of ‘kailyard’ fiction; this paper charts Quinn’s gradual retreat from London to Belfast publishers and eventual self-publication as the kailyard genre became less marketable, his literary responses to the political-sectarian conflict of early twentieth-century Ireland, to the Second World War and to modernist-fundamentalist disputes within Irish Presbyterianism, and his combination of Christian socialism and theological liberalism with anti-modernist idealisation of rural life, fear of mechanical modernity and anti-feminism.

In Cath Catharda, the adaption of Lucan’s verse epic Bellum Civile, is a hitherto little explored example of a medieval Irish translation of a classical text. This paper explores some aspects of its structure and its employment of sources, in particular its bipartite narrative architecture and its teleology, its use of medieval explicative scholia on Lucan’s text, and the format and the sources of its historiographical introduction. It is suggested that this introduction’s section on Roman history and political organisation derives from a source that is also reflected in a similar passage in the Old Icelandic Romverja saga.

No single individual did more to ‘make Irish respectable’ in the decades before and after 1900 than the great German scholar Kuno Meyer. But while Meyer’s tireless activities as an editor and translator of Irish texts and as a populariser of ancient Irish literature has long been documented, less is known about his activities ‘behind the scenes’. A newly discovered cache of letters and postcards that Meyer sent to Douglas Hyde during the years 1898–1919 now reveals the full extent of that background activity and the extraordinary level of encouragement and support that he gave to the movement to establish a ‘native school’ of Irish scholars, culminating in the establishment (in 1903) of the School of Irish Learning in Dublin.
