VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF IRELAND DUBLIN PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF IRELAND I896 THIS COPY IS PRINTED FOR REV. JOHN WALLACE TAYLOR, LL.D., FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF IRELAND. Editor's Preface. 'npHESE Annals have, in later times at least, usually -*- gone by the name of the ' Annals of Clonmac- noise.' In the book itself there is nothing to show why it should be called by this name. No doubt it gives a special prominence to the history of those parts of the country on both sides of the Shannon bordering on Clonmacnoise, as Teaffa, Meath, Brawnie, Ferkeall, Annaly, Roscommon, Hymany, Moylorg, and to the families inhabiting them, the MaGeoghagans, O'Melaghlens, O'Molloys, O'Feralls, O'Conors, M cDer- tnots, O'Kellys, O'Roircks; and indeed the chief value of these Annals arises from the historical details given of these districts and families which are not found to the same extent elsewhere. Frequent mention is made of St. Oueran, who was not only the founder of Clon- macnoise, but the patron saint of the men of Connaught, as we know from the ' Saltair na Rann'; whereas few of the other Irish Saints are mentioned and only in a passing way, if we except St. Ruadhan of Lorrha, and St. Columkille, founder of Durrow, both of which places are in the neighbourhood of Clonmacnoise. In the Censura of the Guardian of the Franciscan Convent of Donegal, prefixed to O' Donovan's edition of the ' Annals of the Four Masters,' mention is made, among the books from which extracts were made by the authors b vi Editor''s Preface. of that work, of the ' Book of Clonmacnoise.' O'Dono- van thinks the reference is to the book that now goes by that name; not so O' Curry, who believes they are entirely different books, for the reason that the work used by the Four Masters came down but to the year 1227, whereas this one ends with the year 1408. Nor is there any clue to the author's name through- out the work. He is said to be ' an authentic author and worthy prelate of the Church, that would say nothing but the truth,' ' a great Latinist and Scholler,' yet ' he could not get his penn to name the Kings of England or other foraigne countryes by their proper names but by such Irish names as he pleased to devise out of his own head.' He was Irish too, if we judge from his sympathies shown by ' the reproachful wordes which he layeth down in the ould books and which he declared of an evil will he did beare towards William Burk,' commonly known as William FitzAdelm, and which the translator will not insert in his translation ' because they were uttered by the author for the disgrace of soe worthy and noble a man as William Burk was.' Nearly all the Irish writers agree with the author of these Annals in their estimate of William FitzAdelm; indeed the passage in the 'Annals of the Four Masters,' referring to his death, seems to be but a transcript of this passage. Giraldus' estimate of him, almost equal in incisiveness and terseness to Sallust's character of Catiline, is well known ; but then Giraldus is hardly to be relied on when he commends any one of his own relatives or censures those with whom he was not connected by blood. The original work was in Irish. The translator more than once refers to ' the ould Irish book out of Editor's Pre/ace. vii which he wrote,' ' to the ould Irish book which he translates, out of which many leaves were lost or stolen,' ' to certain years that are missing in mine ould Booke.' And even the whole of the book is not ' given by the translator : the ould Irish book by longe lying shutt and unused, I could hardly read, and left places that I could not read because they were alto- gether grown illegible and ; put out ' and he asks to be excused 'for not naming the King's deputies and Englishmen therein contained by their right names, for I goe by the words of the ould booke and not by my owen invention.' The original was supposed to be in the possession of the family of Sir Richard Nagle some fifty years ago, a descendant, by his mother's side, of the transla- tor. There was a belief that it contained certain facts tending to their discredit, which that family did not wish to have made known, and for this reason they would not allow it to be examined ; but perhaps this unwillingness arose from a desire to keep secure possession of what was looked on by some members of them as a family relic. These Annals begin with the Creation and end with the year 1408. The translator points out that several parts of the original work are missing, as from 1182 to 1 199, and again from 1290 to 1299, and he shows how such books were destroyed, not merely by the chronicles being burnt by the Danes, ' but by taylors being suffered to cutt the leaves of the said books (which their auncestors held in great accoumpt), and sliece them in long peeces to make theire measures off.' To show the value set on this book by students of Irish history, we need but mention two facts: first, viii Editor''s Preface. that it was one of the works which the Irish Archaeo- logical Society intended to publish ; second, that very copious extracts have been made from it by O'Donovan to illustrate the text of the "Annals of the Four Masters." The translator was Conell, or Conla, MaGeoghagan, of Lismoyne, Co. Westmeath, who, O'Clery, in his pre- face to the ' Succession of the Kings,' says, ' prized and preserved the ancient monuments of our ancestors, one who was the industrious collecting Bee of everything that belongs to the honour and history of the descendants of Milesius and of Lughaidh, son of Ith, both lay and ecclesiastical, so far as he could find them.' He dedicated this translation to his brother Terence Coghlan, whose family was among the last to uphold and practise the old Irish tribal customs. It was finished April 20th, 1627, in the 'Castle of Leyeua- chan,' or Lemanaghan, the remains of which still exist six miles south-west of Clara, in the King's County. The original manuscript of MaGeoghagan' s transla- tion is lost, but there are several copies of it, one in the British Museum, another in the Library of Trinity College, catalogued F. 3,19, both made by Tadhg O'Daly. The latter is that from which this book has been printed. It was made in 1684. The copyist goes somewhat out of his way to censure both the author and the translator for their partiality to the descendants of Heremon, the Hy Neill, to the pre- judice of those of Heber, the M c Carthys, O'Briens, and their co-relatives of the south. Of the translation O'Curry says: — 'It is written in the quaint style of the Elizabethan period, but by a man who seems to have well understood the value Editor'' s Preface. ix of the original Gaedhlic phraseology, and rendered it every justice, as far as we can determine in the absence of the original.' The copyist's introduction will remind the reader of the pompous style of com- position in use among the hedge-schoolmasters half a century ago. I have printed the whole just as it stands in O' Daly's copy. The orthography is such as will lead no one astray, and if an editor begins to ' improve ' on such things, it is not easy to know where to stop. The thanks of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland are due to the Board of Trinity College, who kindly permitted a copy to be made of their manuscript for the purpose of printing this book. D.

  • History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
    History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”.

  • Keltoi and Hellenes: a Study of the Celts in the Hellenistic World
    KELTOI AND THE HELLENES A STUDY OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WoRU) PATRICK EGAN In the third century B.C. a large body ofCeltic tribes thrust themselves violently into the turbulent world of the Diadochoi,’ immediately instilling fear, engendering anger and finally, commanding respect from the peoples with whom they came into contact. Their warlike nature, extreme hubris and vigorous energy resembled Greece’s own Homeric past, but represented a culture, language and way of life totally alien to that of the Greeks and Macedonians in this period. In the years that followed, the Celts would go on to ravage Macedonia, sack Delphi, settle their own “kingdom” and ifil the ranks of the Successors’ armies. They would leave indelible marks on the Hellenistic World, first as plundering barbaroi and finally, as adapted, integral elements and members ofthe greatermulti-ethnic society that was taking shape around them. This paper will explore the roles played by the Celts by examining their infamous incursions into Macedonia and Greece, their phase of settlement and occupation ofwhat was to be called Galatia, their role as mercenaries, and finally their transition and adaptation, most noticeably on the individual level, to the demands of the world around them. This paper will also seek to challenge some of the traditionally hostile views held by Greek historians regarding the role, achievements, and the place the Celts occupied as members, not simply predators, of the Hellenistic World.2 19 THE DAWN OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WORLD The Celts were not unknown to all Greeks in the years preceding the Deiphic incursion of February, 279.

  • The Idea of 'Celtic Justice' in the Greco-Roman Lighter Literature
    Cruel and Unusual? The Idea of ‘Celtic justice’ in the Greco-Roman Lighter Literature Antti Lampinen Abstract This article seeks to demonstrate that dramatically illustrated examples of the Celts’ sense of justice emerge as a minor trope in Greek and Roman ‘lighter literature’. In sources ranging from the Hellenistic to the Imperial era, novelistic narratives taking their cue from the register of lighter literature—with its emphasis on pathos, cultural difference, and romantic themes—feature several barbarian characters, characterised as ‘Celts’ or ‘Galatae’, who act according to a code of conduct that was constructed purposefully as barbarian, archaic, and alien. This set of motifs I venture to call the trope of ‘Celtic justice’. While almost certainly devoid of historical source value to actual judicial cultures of Iron Age Europeans, neither are these references mere alterité. Instead, their relationship with other literary registers demonstrate the literariness of certain modes of thought that came to inform the enquiry of Greek and Roman observers into the Celtic northerners. Their ostensibly ethnographical contents emerge as markers of complex textual strategies and vibrant reception of literary motifs. While lacking ‘anthropological’ source value, these texts demonstrate the variety and intensity with which the contacts between Greeks and Celts affected the epistemic regime of the Mediterranean societies.* From the 270s onwards the Hellenistic era witnessed among the Greeks an intense and emotionally charged interest in Celts.
