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:AbstractMy intention in this paper is to reassess our understanding of the location of the northern boundary of the kingdom of Múscraige Tίre. Contrary to the generally held view, which confines Múscraige Tίre within the baronies of Ormond, I suggest that, until the twelfth century at least, the northern border lay in what is now county Offaly. This conclusion also has implications for our knowledge of the geopolitics of the province of Munster.

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.
