Abstract:The grammarian-prosodists who compiled the Irish Grammatical Tracts and the Bardic Syntactical Tracts do not usually provide us with any details about the authors whose work they examine. Identifying the poems from which the citations in IGT and BST were excerpted is therefore vitally important to our understanding of the tracts. This paper is intended to be a supplement to the series begun by Damian McManus in the 1997 issue of Ériu.

Abstract:This essay consists of a new edition of the poem 'Múin aithrighe dhamh, a Dhé', together with a translation, commentary and notes. Lambert McKenna's edition of the poem, which was published in Dánta do chum Aonghus Fionn Ó Dálaigh (1919), was based on a single eighteenth-century manuscript, in which the poem was attributed to 'Ó Dálaigh Fionn' and which provided an incomplete and corrupt text. Further manuscripts containing the poem have since come to light. They provide a better text and suggest that Tadhg Óg Ó hUiginn was the author. The commentary pays particular attention to the apologue of the blood-spotted hand contained in the poem. A version of this apologue is contained in the late medieval collection Gesta Romanorum and seems to have provided the inspiration for Shakespeare's characterization of Lady Macbeth in the sleep-walking scene in Macbeth.
摘要:本文由新版诗作《Múin aithrighe dhamh, a dh》组成,并附有译文、注释和注释。Lambert McKenna的这首诗的版本,在Dánta do chum Aonghus Fionn Ó Dálaigh(1919)上发表,是基于一份18世纪的手稿,其中这首诗被认为是“Ó Dálaigh Fionn”,提供了一个不完整和腐败的文本。此后,包含这首诗的更多手稿陆续曝光。他们提供了一个更好的文本,并表明Tadhg Óg Ó hUiginn是作者。评论特别注意了诗中血迹斑斑的手的辩解。这段独白的一个版本收录在中世纪晚期的《罗马纪事》(Gesta Romanorum)中,似乎为莎士比亚在《麦克白》中梦游的场景中塑造麦克白夫人的形象提供了灵感。

Abstract:Numerous traditions concerning the children of Adam and Eve survive in medieval Irish texts, most notably the Irish Sex Aetates Mundi, Lebor Gabála Érenn, the prose and metrical Banshenchas and the poems Cethror cóic [ḟ]ichit iar fír and Dúan in choícat cest. These extra-biblical texts present expanded numbers of children, names of non-biblical children and certain narrative details that are fragmentary and contradictory. No direct connection can be made when comparing these texts to Jewish and Christian apocryphal writings (especially to the secondary Adam literature, e.g. the Cave of treasures), texts which also seek to flesh out the Genesis account. It appears that these Irish medieval literature traditions are the product of Irish scribes, who may have transferred certain features originally attributed to the children of Noah to the children of Adam and Eve, to whom they may be linked typologically.

Abstract:This paper provides new literary analyses of two tales associated with Emain Macha, both of which feature a woman called Macha: Noínden Ulad, which purports to tell the origin of the debility that the Ulstermen suffered during the Táin, and the story of Macha Mongruad, who overthrew her enemies and forced them to construct the fort of Emain Macha. The discussion considers issues of warriorhood, justice and gender, and seeks to disentangle the themes of sovereignty and war in relation to the women called Macha. Two of the four women bearing the name Macha are, in all probability, relatively late innovations, and the primary function of the remaining two figures lies in warfare.

This article concerns a rediscovered Classical Modern Irish poem on the optative subjunctive. In Classical Modern Irish most verbs are regularly preceded by gur (neg. nár) in the optative subjunctive (for example, gur léagha ‘may you read'), but 27 verbs take go (neg. ná) (for instance, go bhfionna ‘may you know'); the poem edited here lists the latter verbs based on information gleaned from Irish Grammatical Tracts III–IV. This article discusses the manuscript context of the poem, its relationship to IGT III–IV and the make-up of that tract, and the linguistic background to go/gur variation in the optative; it also presents a critical edition of the poem itself with an English translation.
摘要:本文研究的是一首被重新发现的古典现代爱尔兰诗歌,内容涉及到祈使虚拟语气。在古典现代爱尔兰语中,大多数动词前面都有gur(否定词)。Nár)在选择虚拟语气中(例如,gur l - agha ' may you read'),但是27个动词用go(否定词)。(例如,“愿你知道”);这里编辑的诗列出了后者的动词基于信息收集从爱尔兰语法手册III-IV。本文讨论了这首诗的原稿语境,它与IGT III-IV的关系,以及该文集的构成,以及go/gur变体的语言背景;它还提供了这首诗本身的英文翻译的批评版本。

Abstract:This paper offers a commentary on the Moses-narrative in Saltair na Rann. Among the reasons for undertaking such a commentary are that notes on the substance of the text as it relates to the story of Moses might assist with or stimulate the production of a new edition and translation of the entire text, or that it might support the literary and cultural evaluation of the Saltair na Rann text as a whole. The basis for the commentary is the unpublished edition and translation of Saltair na Rann left by David Greene.
摘要:本文对《萨尔泰尔·纳·兰恩》中的摩西叙事进行了评析。进行这种注释的原因之一是,对文本内容的注释因为它与摩西的故事有关,可能有助于或刺激整个文本的新版本和翻译的产生,或者它可能支持对Saltair na Rann文本整体的文学和文化评价。这篇评论的基础是大卫·格林留下的未出版的《索尔泰尔·兰恩》的版本和翻译。
