Níor cuireadh aon chuid den saothar seo faoi bhráid aon ollscoile eile i gcomhair céime d’aon chineál cheana féin. ____________________________________ Ken O’Donoghue iii Achoimre Is scrúdú ar théacs amháin, Comthóth Lóegairi co Cretim 7 a Aided (CLcC), a chaomhnaítear i lámhscríbhinn amháin, Lebor na hUidre (LU), atá sa tráchtas seo. Bíodh is gurb é LU an lámhscríbhinn Ghaelach is sine a chaomhnaíonn scéalta leanúnacha i nGaeilge, agus gur ábhar staidéir ar leith i ngort na Gaeilge agus na Ceiltise é dá réir, níor scrúdaíodh CLcC as féin mar earra litríochta fós, ná ní dhearnadh mionscrúdú ar an teanga ann ach chomh beag. Ceapadh gur mhithid an téacs a mheas ar na cúiseanna sin. Roinntear an tráchtas ina dhá chuid, mar atá: (a) cuid a haon, a chuireann síos ar chomhthéacs na lámhscríbhinne agus ar cheisteanna a bhaineann lena lucht scríofa, chomh maith le hanailís liteartha ar théamaí a luaitear sa téacs féin. Déantar ceist an rangaithe a phlé chomh maith, is é sin, conas is ceart rangú a dhéanamh ar CLcC; (b) cuid a dó, is eagrán agus aistriúchán den téacs atá inti, chomh maith le nótaí teanga a scrúdaíonn gnéithe suntasacha den teanga, agus gluais. An dá shórt anailíse a chuirtear chun cinn i rith an tráchtais, .i. an scrúdú liteartha agus an t-iniúchadh ar an teanga, déantar iad a shuíomh i gcomhthéacs LU trí chéile oiread agus is féidir. Féachann an cur chuige seo le taispeáint gur de dhlúth na lámhscríbhinne féin na téamaí (mar shampla creideamh, cumhacht, ríogacht) is bun le CLcC, agus gur sampla an- spéisiúil de thoisí teanga LU an téacs seo, óir léiríonn sé caomhnú ábhar ón tSean-Ghaeilge chomh maith le forbairtí teanga a bhaineann le ré na Meán-Ghaeilge. Sna nótaí teanga, leis, cuirtear samplaí as lámhscríbhinní comhaimseartha eile san áireamh, chomh maith le foinsí níos sine ná sin, le bonn a chur faoin áitiú a dhéantar ar aois na teanga in CLcC. iv Buíochas Táim faoi chomaoin ag go leor daoine a chabhraigh liom ar shlite éagsúla ó thosaíos ar an tráchtas seo i Meán Fómhair 2012. Ba mhaith liom an deis seo a thapú chun mo bhuíochas a chur in iúl dóibh. Ba é an Dr Feargal Ó Béarra a mhúin an tSean-Ghaeilge dom ar dtús agus mé i m’fhochéimí in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. Chuaigh a chuid teagaisc go mór i bhfeidhm orm. Táim thar a bheith buíoch de as an gcúnamh uilig a thug sé dom le hiarratas a scríobh, as a chomhairle ó shin i leith, agus as suim san ábhar a mhúscailt ionam an chéad lá riamh. Go gcúití Dia a shaothar leis. Scríobh an tOllamh Nollaig Mac Congáil agus an Dr John Walsh teistiméireachtaí ar mo shon agus iarratais éagsúla idir lámha agam. Is mian liom mo bhuíochas a ghlacadh leo as a gcabhair agus a gcomhairle. Táim fíor-bhuíoch de mo stiúrthóir, an Dr Kevin Murray, as ar dhein sé ar mo shon le cúig bliana anuas. Is mór agam an t-achar atá caite agam i mbun taighde faoina stiúir. Pé maitheas atá sa tráchtas seo, is óna threoir agus óna spreagadh féin a d’eascair sí. Is údar bróid dom, leis, gur chuireas aithne air, óir is annamh a chasfaí ort duine chomh lách uasal tuisceanach leis. Ní taise dá chomhghleacaithe i Roinn na Sean- agus na Meán-Ghaeilge é; togha scoláirí agus múinteoirí iad, agus daoine breátha, leis. Táim buíoch den Ollamh John Carey, den Dr Caitríona Ó Dochartaigh, den Dr Emma Nic Cárthaigh agus den Ollamh Máire Herbert as a mbuanna taighde agus teagaisc a chur ar fáil do mo leithéidse, agus as a mhuinteartha agus a chaitheann siad linne, mic léinn na roinne. Mar a chéile, chabhraigh Ciara Ní Churnáin v agus Siobhán Ní Dhonghaile liom ar an iliomad slite ó thosaíos in UCC. Is mór agam a gcúnamh ar fad. Fuaireas cúnamh agus tacaíocht luachmhar de chineálacha éagsúla ó lucht iarchéime na Gaeilge (idir Shean- agus Nua-) i rith an ama chomh maith; táim buíoch (beag beann ar ord na haibítre!) de Philip, Fangzhe, Andrea, Riona, Ilona, Heather, Nathalie, Ciara, Pádraig, Tadhg, Gunnhildur, Ksenia, Mícheál, Jody, Cian, agus Marie-Luise. Táim buíoch de lucht na Gaillimhe, Aogán agus Colm, leis, as a gcomhluadar agus a gcúnamh. Táim faoi chomaoin ag an Ollamh Pádraig Ó Macháin, an Dr Aidan Doyle agus an Dr Neil Buttimer ó Roinn na Nua-Ghaeilge as a gcúnamh agus a gcomhairle i dtaobh ceisteanna éagsúla i gcaitheamh an ama. Ina dteannta siúd go léir, chuir daoine éagsúla a gcuid taighde (nár/sarar foilsíodh é) ar fáil dom nuair a d’iarras a leithéid orthu; táim buíoch den Dr Fangzhe Qiu, de Ksenia Kudenko, den Dr Neil Buttimer, den Dr Bridgette Slavin, agus den Dr Roy Flechner as a bhflaithiúlacht ina leith seo. Gabhaim buíochas mór leis an gComhairle um Thaighde in Éirinn (IRC) a mhaoinigh an taighde seo. Táim buíoch de Dan O’Brien agus de Helen Murphy, mic léinn PhD eile ar roinneas oifig leo in Sheraton Court, as an gcairdeas a d’fhás eadrainn i rith an ama. Ba éasca réiteach le daoine chomh réchúiseach leo. Thug mo mhuintir ar fad, bídis sa tSeapáin nó i Neidín, cúnamh agus cothú dom le linn an ama, mar a thugann i gcónaí. Lá dá raibh dhéanfainn iad ar fad a ainmniú, ach tá a líon dulta vi i méid le blianta beaga anuas (agus tá ag dul i méid fós), cúis ollmhór áthais dúinne. Táim buíoch díobh go léir. Is í Caitríona bhocht is mó a d’fhulaing i rith mo thréimhse ar seachrán i ré eile, ag streachailt le teanga(cha) aduain(e). Ar éigean a bhí comhrá ceart againn le ceithre bliana; mise ba chúis leis sin! Tá an t-ádh liom, óir tuigeann sí dom, agus tuigeann sí a bhfuil de ghean agam di.

Advertisements The Speckled Booklet of the MacEgans Page - 5 FOREWORD One of the most outstanding medieval Irish manuscripts still extant is the Leabhar Breac—the Speckled Book of the MacEgans which was written before 1411. It is now a prized possession of the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. It will not be considered presumptuous to call this production 'The Speckled Booklet' as it is our tribute to our forbears who left such an imprint on the history of Law and Learning in Ireland. As you will see, the articles appearing in the booklet are of particular interest to people of the names MacEgan, Egan, Eagan and Keegan. Because the MacEgans were a family interested in their family history and genealogy from the earliest times, it is not surprising that the formation of our Clan Association has evoked such interest amongst our kith and kin at home and abroad.

  • Abstracts of the Individual Papers
    Abstracts of Papers ICM 2018 Matty Adams (University College Cork) Monkey See, Monkey Do: Female Violence, the Gaze, and Social Discipline in Beowulf and Judith This paper explores how the narrative manipulation of the gaze influences the representation of female physical superiority within the heroic poems Beowulf and Judith. In Old English literature, male violence against women is often publicly portrayed, with the female body coercively displayed as a spectacle for pleasurable consumption and as patriarchal affirmation. Conversely, these texts portray female violence against men as occurring in the shadows: it is hearsay, a narrative passed on but never directly witnessed. This common lack of visual access tacitly eclipses female physical dominance as an ontological possibility within certain domains of cultural intelligibility. I argue that this distancing between female physical dominance and the authenticity and imitative potential of visual access perpetuates gendered hierarchies. Gendered behaviour is imitative, and by obscuring representations of female physical superiority over men, the possibility of female dominance being publicly repeated or accepted is reduced within these texts. Grzegorz Bartusik (University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland; Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland) Himna smiðr — The Ancient Hebrew Conceptual Metaphor GOD IS THE MAKER OF HEAVEN in the Old Norse-Icelandic Language and Literature as a Marker of Christianization in Iceland According to the cognitive theory of language, language is isomorphic to mentality. A conceptual metaphor may be perceived as the smallest element in a conceptual world, the smallest meaningful unit of mentality inherent in language. When mentality in a given society shifts, it is expressed in its cognitive composition — that is, by the presence of cognitive structures typical of foreign culture and their dissemination in the indigenous conceptual system.

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow September 2017 Abstract This thesis explores a number of topics centred around the theme of memory in relation to medieval Irish literature roughly covering the period 600—1200 AD but considering, where necessary, material later than this date. Firstly, based on the current scholarship in memory studies focused on the Middle Ages, the relationship between medieval thought on memory in Ireland is compared with its broader European context. From this it becomes clear that Ireland, whilst sharing many parallels with European thought during the early Middle Ages based on a shared literary inheritance from the Christian and late-classical worlds, does not experience the same renaissance in memory theory that occurred in European universities from the thirteenth century onwards.

  • Of the Old and Middle Irish Periods (Ca. 600-1200) Is Not Well Represented in Extant Manuscripts – Or at Least Not When Com- P
    WILLIAM MAHON OLD-IRISH VERSE FRAGMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO FER MUMAN MAC ECHTAIN THE COMPOSITION OF SECULAR POETRY BY KNOWN PROFESSIONAL POETS of the Old and Middle Irish periods (ca. 600-1200) is not well represented in extant manuscripts – or at least not when com- pared to the vast amount of surviving verse in Classical Modern Irish. Much of what remains is to be found in an eclectic range of sources: annals, glossaries, legal commentaries, poetic commen- taries, and bardic tracts. Unfortunately, the nature of these sources frequently leaves us with no context for a satisfactory in- terpretation of the verse they contain. In the case of glossaries, for example, a few lines – sometimes from a larger poem – are typically included to illustrate the use of an obscure word. The same applies to bardic tracts, in which the verse simply serves to provide an example of a metrical feature. In this paper I have assembled ten verse fragments attributed to a poet of this early period, Fer Muman mac Echtain, who ap- pears to have been highly regarded by the medieval scholars who WILLIAM MAHON assembled these sources 1. Included also are two additional items (Nos. XI and XII ) which, while not attributed to Fer Muman him- self, are contained in anecdotes about him. Of Fer Muman himself we know very little indeed. His name, ‘Man of Munster’, probably indicates that he came from that province, and the personal names in two of the items, Máel Umai (see the discussion in No. VIII ) and Milchú mac Onchon (No. X) suggest a southern focus or his activities.
