The 2nd sg. imperative of fo-ceird, -cuirethar ‘puts, throws’ has two forms in Old Irish: the expected cuirthe and an apparently irregular form cuire. The form cuire has attracted very little attention, and (as we shall see) its traditional explanation does not stand up to scrutiny. From manuscripts datable to the Old Irish period we find variation between the expected cuirthe and irregular cuire: thus while at Ml. 56c5 iecta (sic) is glossed cuirthe, in the glosses on Bede tolle is glossed cuire huait at BCr 32c11 as well as in the parallel BV(i) 4b1.70. The agreement of these two manuscripts indicates that the form cuire stood in the archetype of the Bede glosses, which may have been roughly contemporaneous with Ml. The form cuire is common in later manuscripts, for example at LU 4784 (cure) and 10821 (quoted below), and persists through typically Middle Irish writings, for example at SR 1561 (cuiri, Breatnach 1994, 298).

Abstract:The ninth-century Old Irish poem Génair Pátraicc was printed with a Latin translation by Fr John Colgan at Louvain in 1647 from one of the manuscripts of the Irish Liber Hymnorum, a collection of the late tenth or early eleventh century. Its early entry into print made it, alongside Ní car Brigit, one of the first pieces of Old Irish to be widely available. This produced, in the first instance, a secondary transmission in manuscript, as it re-entered the native tradition; this was followed by numerous reprints, often with translations based on Colgan's Latin. In the late eighteenth century a Modern Irish translation was made and printed on facing pages by Richard Plunket in 1791, which in turn seems to have entered manuscript transmission. Until J.C. Zeuss revealed the grammar of the Old Irish glosses, this poem was the most widely known example of Old Irish, and it was studied as soon as Zeuss's work became available: it provided Whitley Stokes with an early test for Zeuss's results on a work transmitted down the centuries in Ireland, revealed in his letters to John O'Donovan from 1857. Since Stokes's fifth re-editing of the poem in 1903, it has been largely unstudied.
摘要:这首9世纪的古爱尔兰诗g nair Pátraicc于1647年由鲁汶的约翰·科尔根神父(Fr John Colgan)从10世纪末或11世纪初的《爱尔兰诗歌大全》(Irish Liber Hymnorum)的一份手稿中译成拉丁文印刷而成。它的早期印刷使它与Ní car Brigit一起成为最早被广泛使用的古爱尔兰语作品之一。这首先在手稿中产生了二次传播，因为它重新进入了当地的传统;随后又有很多次重印，通常是根据科尔根的拉丁语进行翻译。在18世纪晚期，理查德·普伦基特(Richard Plunket)于1791年制作了一部现代爱尔兰语译本，并将其印刷在对页上，这似乎又进入了手稿传播。在J.C. Zeuss揭示古爱尔兰语注释的语法之前，这首诗是古爱尔兰语最广为人知的例子，一旦Zeuss的作品出现，它就被研究了:它为惠特利·斯托克斯提供了一个早期的测试，以检验Zeuss在爱尔兰流传了几个世纪的作品的结果，在他1857年给约翰·奥多诺万的信中透露。自1903年斯托克斯第五次重新编辑这首诗以来，它基本上没有被研究过。

Abstract:The Old Irish word muirchrech (also murchrech and muirchreth) is found in law texts where it refers to the distance out to sea at which certain offenders are to be placed in a boat and left to the dictates of wind and tide. Uses of the word in literary texts either reflect this legal scenario or imply a convention of diplomatic protection within a muirchrech of a ruler's territorial lands. Although this general use of the term is clear, there has not yet been any agreement as to the literal meaning of muirchrech, or the actual distance referred to. This article sets out to explore possible literal meanings of muirchrech.1

Abstract:The death of Boand is found in both prose and verse in the Dindṡenchas. Three poems, labelled Boand I, II and III by E.J. Gwynn, have survived in various sources. In the first section of this paper, I provide an analysis of the relationship of these poems to one another. This section also includes an edition and translation of a short poem, here called ‘Boand A’, from Oxford Bodl. MS Laud 610, which has a close connection to Boand I. In the second section, I discuss changes which occur between variants of the prose article on Boand. The outcome of the present enquiry demonstrates how studying individual Dindṡenchas articles broadens our knowledge of the dynamics and growth of the entire corpus. The results of this investigation also have an impact on our understanding of the recensions of the Dindṡenchas.

Abstract:Merugud Uilix remains an unsolved puzzle. It clearly reflects considerable Classical learning, but its stylistic character and narrative techniques are such that many readers have associated it with oral tradition and folklore. It is here proposed that the opening of the tale is an expanded translation of the section on Ulysses in the anonymous Excidium Troie, an early medieval school-text on Trojan War mythology that served as an aid to the study of Vergil's Aeneid. The author of the Merugud began from this source and extended it with other materials, taken both from Vergil-based study and from the wider resources of Irish-language narrative tradition.

Abstract:This article explores the differences between early Irish saints' cults, concentrating mainly but not exclusively on those associated with the Fothairt. It begins with a simple and local cult, that of Damnat of Tedavnet, and a complex and widespread cult, that of Brigit. It is argued that Brigit's cult had at least four constituencies: the Fothairt, Kildare, Leinster, and the weak throughout Ireland and even in Britain. Brigit's cult among the Fothairt is then contrasted with that of another Fothairt saint, Fintan of Clonenagh; and Fintan's cult, in turn, is contrasted with that of Rígnach. The Uí Ercáin, a branch of the Fothairt, illustrate how the political status of a cult's constituency may determine its character. Finally, the shift from an alliance between cults to competition is studied in the example of Cainnech and Columba.
