248 IRLANDE Towards a Hiberno-Latin Dictionary One of the Projects on Which the Newly Established National 248 IRLANDE Towards a Hiberno-Latin Dictionary One of the projects on which the newly established National Com- mittee for Greek and Latin Studies of the Royal Irish Academ y decided at its forst meeting on 27 May 1968 was the compilation o f a Dictionary of Insular Celtic Latin down to c . 1200 A. D., with special emphasis on Hibernian Latin, which accounts for the largest portio n of the relevant source material . The realisation of the plan was discus- sed at subsequent meetings ; contacts were established with Si r Roger MYNORS (Oxford), Mr . R. E. LATHAM (Public Record Office , London) and Professor J . H . BAXTER (Saint Andrews), and an informal agreement was made with the editors of the Medieval Latin Dictionary from British and Irish Sources, under the direction of R. E. LATHAM , now in process of publication, with a view to ensuring co-ordinatio n of efforts. Work on the Irish project will start as soon as the necessar y funds are available . This would seem to be the moment for surveying briefly the wor k done in the field of Insular Latin, especially Hiberno-Latin, studie s in Ireland during the last few decades. 249 A fundamental instrument for Hiberno-Latin studies is now avail- able in the form of a collection of manuscrits of Irish interest o n microfilm in the National Library of Ireland (Dublin), begun by it s then director, Dr . R. J. HAYES, and continued by his successor, Dr. P. HENCHY. The medieval material was systematically examined, mostly on the spot, by the present writer in the course of library tours throughout Great Britain, continental Europe, and Nort h America during the years 1950 to 1970. The material, the filming o f which is still in progress, has been summarily catalogued in eleve n volumes by R. J. HAVES, DZanuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation, Boston, Hall, 1965 ; the additional material from 1g65 onwards will be listed in a Supplement . More detailed descriptive catalogues of classified material (palaeography, hagiography, etc .) are planned by me . In the bibliographical survey which follows I have included som e work by Irish scholars published abroad, and some work by foreign scholars published in Ireland .

BY PROFESSOR JULIUS VON PFLUGK-HARTTUNG. [Translatedfrom the German MS. of the Author.] A RESTLESS spirit of wandering drove the ancient Irish away to farthest lands, from Iceland and Norway to Spain, Southern Italy, Constantinople and Jerusalem. They became of some importance as regards the kingdom of the Franks, and the parts adjacent. Unhappily, however, these thousands and thousands of men made no note of their doings, and in Irish annals they have left no, or but little, trace behind them; we are, therefore, forced to piece them together in laborious mosaic-work out of chance Continental traditions.

  • The Independence of the Celtic Church 121
    THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE CELTIC CHURCH 121 THE INDEPENDENCE Oli" THE CELTIC CHURCH. BY THE REV. F. R. MONTGOMERY HITCHCOCK, D.D. THE CHURCH OF IRELAND: ITS CONNECTION WITH THE EAST; ITS DIFFERENCES FROM THE CHURCH OF ROME; ITS INDEPENDENCE. HE Church of Ireland until the twelfth century, generally T speaking, for six centuries, was a free and a nationa.J. Church. It had many points of contact with the Eastern Church which suggest an Eastern origin, and as many points of difference from the Roman Church which make a Roman origin impossible. In the first place, we shall briefly summarize the points of contact with the East. With regard to the monastic habitations, they resemble in plan, i.e. a group of small huts surrounded by a cashel, the communities of the East, like that of Mount Tabor, after which they were modelled. 1 The ascetic practices of the Irish hermit, such as suspending oneself by the armpits from hooks, a were imitations of the devices in self-torture discovered by the anchorites of the Syrian desert, probably in imitation of the Indian fakir's methods of self-torture. The smallness of the ·churches reminded travellers of those of Mount Athos and Asia Minor ; and the group of seven churches, e.g. at Glendalough and Clonmacnois suggests the " Seven Churches of Asia." The shape of the doors of the hermitages of SS. Flannan and Molua at Killaloe, broader at the threshold than at the head, resembles Egyptian style of architecture. The circle of the Irish cross is probably the loop of the crux ansata of the Egyptians, their circle of life being an emblem of immortality.

    KATHLEEN HUGHES MEMORIAL LECTURES 18 JACOPO BISAGNI FROM ATOMS TO THE COSMOS: THE IRISH TRADITION OF THE DIVISIONS OF TIME IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES DEPARTMENT OF ANGLO-SAXON, NORSE AND CELTIC & HUGHES HALL UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Kathleen Winifred Hughes (1926-77) was the first Nora Chadwick Reader in Celtic Studies in the University of Cambridge. Previously (1958-76) she had held the Lectureship in the Early History and Culture of the British Isles which had been created for Nora Chadwick in 1950. She was a Fellow of Newnham College, and Director of Studies in both History and Anglo-Saxon, 1955-77. Her responsibilities in the Department of Anglo-Saxon & Kindred Studies, subsequently the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, were in the fields of Irish, Scottish, and Welsh history of the early and central Middle Ages. Her achievements in respect of Gaelic history have been widely celebrated, notably in the memorial volume Ireland in Early Mediaeval Europe, published in 1982. The Kathleen Hughes Memorial Lectures both acknowledge her achievements and seek to provide an annual forum for advancing the subject. The lecture is hosted in Hughes Hall in conjunction with the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic. The lecture is published as a pamphlet each year by the Department. Hughes Hall was founded in 1885 to take women graduating from the universities and give them a one year training to become teachers. Originally called the Cambridge Training College (CTC) it was re-named in 1948 in honour of its first Principal, Elizabeth Phillips Hughes, who had been one of the early students of Newnham College and became a respected leader in the theory and practice of education.

TACHET DE BARNETAL, PROFESSOR m THE LYCEXm AT DOUAT. TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH, BY JOHN GILMARY SHEA. « In {HE Caxhouc ssnss, the v&assfD is ths lives of thx SAOna." BOSTON : PATRICK DONAHOE, 23 FRANKLIN STREET, 1857, $=\ -»f^.<^ Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1857, by PATRICK DONAHOE, In the Clerk'a Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. ELECTBOTTPED AT THE BOSTON STEREOTYPE FOUNDRY, PREFACE. The study of Irish histoiy finds more votaries now ; the treasures long locked up in manuscript are now beginning to be presented to the reading public ; but a prejudice due to the rationalistic spirit of the last century weighs on the early lives of the Irish saints. Most frequently they are spoken of only with contempt. Moore, in his History of Ireland, made a feeble vindication, sheltering his rashness under the names of a Gibbon and a Montesquieu : the writer of the following pages has done more ; he has drawn from them pictures full of interest and beauty. He views the whole legend as a Christian artist, not as an antiquarian or an historian. The credibility -of accounts does not enter into his sphere; he takes up any that suits the woof of the tapestry which he weaves, and which we trust our readers will find as pleasing as we have done. In giving it an English dress, the translator has indulged the hope that it may lead to a series of lives of early Irish saints similar to that published a few years since in England, on the English saints.

He wrote a Computus or Astronomical Treatise in Latin in about 814-16 (previously untranslated), which contains a chapter on triangular and square numbers. Dicuil describes two methods for calculating triangular numbers: the simple method of summing the natural numbers, and the more complex method of multiplication, equivalent to the formula n(n+1)/2. He also states that a square number is equal to twice a triangular number minus the generating number, equivalent to n2 = [2n(n+1)/2] – n. The multiplication formula for triangular numbers was first explicitly described in about the third century AD by the Greek authors Diophantus and Iamblichus. It was also known as a solution to other mathematical problems as early as 300 BC. It reappeared in the West in the sixteenth century.

  • Exiles from the Edge? the Irish Contexts of Peregrinatio
    Exiles from the Edge? The Irish Contexts of Peregrinatio Elva Johnston Approaches to peregrinatio In a letter to Pope Boniface IV († 615), probably written around AD 613, peregrinus and church founder, Columbanus († 615), declared that the Irish who inhabited the world’s edge were ideal Christians, free of heresy’s taint. 1 Rather transparently, Columbanus strongly implies that he, like his fellow countrymen, is a Christian of apostolic mould, preserving the purity of early Church belief and practice. For him, those who lived at the edge of the earth were innocent of the errors that flourished closer to its centre, in Burgundy, in Italy and in the very heart of Rome. In this letter, and elsewhere, Columbanus, a man intensely self-conscious of his status as an exile, a peregrinus, brews a heady mix of identity, geography and religious orthodoxy. He is a deeply idiosyncratic writer; he also articulates those various factors which led him, and others, to leave Ireland. To find God, he tells us, one must renounce one’s native place.2 Nearly a century later, Adomnán († 704), abbot of Iona, wrote a great hagiographical celebration of his founder-saint, Columba († 597). Vita Columbae is steeped in the language of exile. Tellingly, not all of it is tied to Iona’s first abbot. For instance, Adomnán details the travails of Cormac ua Liatháin, a man who was a contemporary of Columbanus. Cormac is described as unsuccessfully seeking a desert in the ocean, no less than three times, before finally settling for a more mundane religious life.3 The words which Adomnán uses are loaded: Cormac’s desert is the eremus or desertum of the hermit.
