Catalogue of Gaelic Manuscripts in Glasgow University Làmh-sgrìobhainnean Gàidhlig Oilthigh Ghlaschu The Gaelic Manuscripts of Glasgow University A Catalogue Anja Gunderloch Department of Celtic, University of Glasgow, 2007 Do mo phàrantan, Ottmar (1937-2006) agus Rosemarie (née Sieling). Acknowledgements The production of a catalogue of manuscripts is a daunting prospect even for the bravest of us. On the one hand, there is the high standard set by, for example, the meticulousness of the cataloguers dealing with the Irish material in the Royal Irish Academy; on the other hand, there is the example of John Mackechnie’s Catalogue of Gaelic Manuscripts with its not infrequent lapses and inaccuracies. I hope that I have done my best to emulate the good practice exemplified by the former while heeding the warning provided by the latter that there are dangers in a single-handed undertaking. Of course, during the time that I spent working on the manuscripts I have greatly benefited from the advice, help, and support of many people, first and foremost my friends and colleagues at Glasgow and Edinburgh University. They all have listened with unfailing patience and courtesy to my frequent and not always coherent ramblings about manuscripts. I am very happy to emphasise that the present work is greatly the better for their input, which came in various guises, not all of it related directly to the matter in hand. I would like single out the following for special thanks: Professor Cathair Ó Dochartaigh, for getting me started on this enterprise; Professor Thomas Owen Clancy and Professor Roibeard Ó Maolalaigh, for making this volume possible in the first place and for much valuable advice and support; Professor Donald E. Meek and Professor William Gillies, for their excellent advice when encouraging me to prepare the material for publication and the great deal of support they gave in so many ways; Ms Carol E. Smith and Dr Aonghas MacCoinnich, for their help in giving access to the departmental manuscripts and the MacLean Room; Ms Abigail Burnyeat, Dr Dòmhnall Uilleam Stiùbhart, Dr Wilson McLeod, Dr Nerys Ann Jones, Ms Joan MacDonald, Dr James E. Fraser, Dr Sheila Kidd and Dr Michel Byrne, for much moral and practical support and a listening ear over the years; Dr Nancy McGuire, for sharing her expertise on the Dornie Collection; and Mr Bill Innes, for providing information on Dòmhnall Ruadh Phàislig and his poetry. Thanks are also due to staff at Glasgow University Library’s Special Collections department who were always most helpful and courteous when I consulted their holdings of manuscripts and rare books; also to staff at the National Library of Scotland and Edinburgh University Library Special Collections. A very special thank-you goes of course to my long-suffering husband, Dr Timothy Rideout, for everything. He’ll be relieved to know that my cataloguing is rather better than my cooking. Ciad taing dhuibh uile! All remaining mistakes and inaccuracies are solely my own responsibility. The material under consideration covers many areas of the field of study, and there are few individuals, if any, who are equally expert in so many aspects of the manuscript materials. There are very likely to be many instances where my own lack of specific expertise prevented me from seeing aspects of an item, or from making connections that would explain an item, that would have been immediately clear to an expert. I hope, though, that these experts in the various fields will find the information in this volume useful and accurate enough to enable them to make use of the manuscripts for new research.

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

ENEAS MACKAY, STIRLING 1911 PRINTKD AT THE " NORTHERN OHRONIOLB " OFFICE, INYBRNESS PREFACE The following Etymology of the Principal Gaelic ISTational Names, Personal Names, and Surnames was originally, and still is, part of the Gaelic EtymologicaJ Dictionary by the late Dr MacBain. The Disquisition on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland first appeared in the Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, and, later, as a pamphlet. The Publisher feels sure that the issue of these Treatises in their present foim will confer a boon on those who cannot have access to them as originally published. They contain a great deal of information on subjects which have for long years interested Gaelic students and the Gaelic public, although they have not always properly understood them. Indeed, hereto- fore they have been much obscured by fanciful fallacies, which Dr MacBain's study and exposition will go a long way to dispel.

The aim of the report was to locate and compile all known information on the church and graveyard. The collated information will to be used as a basis for the survey and recording of the gravestones within the graveyard. The project was undertaken in partnership with the Dunadd Historic Graveyard Group, Historic Scotland, the Church of Scotland and Argyll and Bute District Council. The project is part of the Dalraida Project which is the major funder. 2. Desk Based Survey Methodology 2.1 Previous Work The historic graveyard of Kilmichael has aroused the interest of some of the earliest Scottish antiquarians, some of whom made descriptions and drawings following their observations (White 1875 and Drummond 1879).

  • Building an Unwanted Nation: the Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository BUILDING AN UNWANTED NATION: THE ANGLO-AMERICAN PARTNERSHIP AND AUSTRIAN PROPONENTS OF A SEPARATE NATIONHOOD, 1918-1934 Kevin Mason A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .
