Abstract:This is the sixth in a series of editions of the poems of Gofraidh Óg (son of Gofraidh son of Brian) Mac an Bhaird, who flourished in the 1640s and 1650s. It is in praise of Maol Muire son of Toirdhealbhach Mac Suibhne and, in supplementary quatrains, of his wife, Gráinne daughter of Báitéar Mac Suibhne. The poet extols Maol Muire’s military prowess by asking rhetorically who trained him, but also lauds him for his performance in peacetime and for his resilience. The poem is edited here from Stonyhurst College MS A II 20, with readings from Trinity College Dublin MS H 6. 7 (1411) and a full discussion of these and other extant MS witnesses.

Abstract:Liam Breatnach’s Quiggin Lecture, The Early Irish law text Senchas Már and the question of its date, proposed that the Senchas Már was written in a single effort mounted by the church of Armagh within the date range c. 660 × c. 680. This revised and expanded version of a lecture given in 2017 accepts that there was a link between Armagh and the Senchas Már, sets the latter in the context of the written laws of Western Europe, 400–800, and investigates how the Senchas Már might have fitted into the sequence of seventh-century texts pertaining to Patrick. It also tackles two related issues: the relationship between evolving ideas of Irish nationality, the Patrician legend and the Senchas Már, and how one might bridge the gap between the Patrick of the saint’s own writings and conceptions of Patrick current in the seventh century.

This paper seeks to explain the future tense forms of the verb fágbhaidh found in Classical Modern Irish. In the process, an explanation is proposed for the verb’s shift from an e-future to an f-future in Middle Irish and for a peculiar verbal form found in the Milan Glosses.

Abstract:A few years ago, two articles (Breatnach 2005b, Griffith 2007) noted small exceptions to the Old Irish third palatalisation. Here, I re-examine these exceptions, add a few examples to the roster of forms showing them, offer a possible interpretation of the phonetic basis of the exceptions, and explore how this can help explain a puzzling form of the copula in Old Irish. Finally, in the appendix, I examine forms of the preposition etar ‘between’ and offer an explanation for their phonological development.
摘要:几年前,有两篇文章(Breatnach 2005b, Griffith 2007)指出了古爱尔兰第三次舌化的一些小例外。在这里,我重新审视了这些例外,在显示它们的形式列表中添加了一些例子,提供了例外的语音基础的可能解释,并探讨了这如何有助于解释古爱尔兰语中令人困惑的copula形式。最后,在附录中,我考察了介词etar ' between '的形式,并对它们的语音发展做出了解释。

Abstract:This paper discusses aspects of the terminology used in the Irish Sex Aetates Mundi (SAM), a Middle Irish historical text that displays special interest in the origins, languages and identities of nations. The efforts by the author of SAM to construct a comprehensive genealogy of mankind presented him with a problem that Christian scholars had attempted to deal with in various ways over the preceding centuries, namely, the apparent proliferation of nations beyond the canonical number of seventy-two. This paper argues that the solution to his problem proposed by the Irish scholar demonstrated a degree of imagination and innovation with which he has generally not been credited. Borrowing, and apparently redefining, terminology found in Old Irish legal and genealogical texts, he distinguished between two classes of nations—primary- and subordinate-nations—on the basis of whether or not they possessed their own languages.

Abstract:In English, lesser degree is expressed by a periphrastic construction: in the comparative, adverbial ‘less’ precedes the adjective (‘less successful’); in the superlative, ‘least’ takes the place of ‘less’ (‘least successful’). This note draws attention to an adjectival construction in Late Middle and Early Modern Irish—the use of comparative/superlative forms of non-stable compounds in neamh- —and argues that this construction was used to convey lesser degree.
