Sep. 2021 IRISH HAGIOGRAPHY AND ITS DATING: A STUDY OF THE O’DONOHUE GROUP OF IRISH SAINTS’ LIVES by Judyta Aleksandra Szacillo MA Hons This thesis is offered for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of History and Anthropology, Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Queen’s University of Belfast. September 2012 Acknowledgements Several people have played a substantial role in helping me to complete my work. First of all, my deepest gratitude goes to my supervisor, Marie Therese Flanagan, who provided me with constant and tireless support, patience and assistance, whose contributions and detailed comments have been of the greatest value and who was always available and ready to help. My studies on Irish medieval hagiography would not have been possible without the financial support of the School of History and Anthropology at Queen’s University; I address special thanks to the Head of the School, David Hayton, and also to the School Managers, Frances Mercer and Catherine Boone, who have always supported me and my restless organisational ideas. I cannot leave without mentioning the Senior Librarians from the Special Collections, Queen’s University Library, Brenda Robinson and Diarmuid Kennedy, their eagerness to help, the excellent manner in which they provide the library service and their genuine interest in supporting me in my research. I am indebted for life to my Mother, who gave me more than I can ever describe. And, last but not least, I would like to thank my friend, Miguel Ortiz, for his devotion, support, encouragement and understanding that he has so generously been giving me for the last several years.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

  • Saint Patrick: Issues of Translation & His Enduring
    SAINT PATRICK: ISSUES OF TRANSLATION & HIS ENDURING PASTORAL MESSAGE A dissertation submitted to the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies Drew University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree, Doctor of Letters Christina Isabella McGrath Drew University Madison, New Jersey May 2021 Copyright © 2021 by Christina Isabella McGrath All Rights Reserved Abstract Saint Patrick: Issues of Translation and His Enduring Pastoral Message Doctor of Letters Dissertation by Christina Isabella McGrath The Caspersen School of Graduate Studies Drew University May 2021 This dissertation attempts to discover the reason(s) for the worldwide interest in Saint Patrick of Ireland by focusing on the numerous translations of his two writings, the Confessio (The Confession of Saint Patrick) and the Epistola (The Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus). By analyzing seven specific twentieth century translations of the saint’s fifth century writings, the reader will discern subtle differences in each end product, leading to a unique message from Patrick. Working with the assertions that every translation is a political act of some kind and that the translator becomes part of the translation, specific passages from the saint’s writings are examined and discussed through the lens of translation theory along with survey responses from accessible translators. After delving into Patrician scholarship, the historical sources presenting Saint Patrick’s letters have been called into question, due to the personal agendas and biases of his seventh century biographers. Over the past 1500 years, both political and religious factions have usurped him for their own agendas. The end result of this exploration led to the discovery of a man who went to the end of his world to preach the Gospel, to convert the Irish to Christianity, and to share the love of his God with the place and people who once enslaved him.

Its principle aim is to engage with recent revisionist accounts of the various dynasties within the Uí Néill; these necessitate a radical reappraisal of our understanding of their origins and genesis as a dynastic confederacy, as well as the geo-political landsape of the central midlands. Consequently, this paper argues that there is a pressing need to address such issues via more focused analyses of local kingdoms and political landscapes. Holistic understandings of polities like Luigne Breg are fundamental to framing new analyses of the genesis of the Uí Néill based upon interdisciplinary assessments of landscape, archaeology and documentary sources. In the latter part of the paper, an attempt is made to to initiate a wider discussion regarding the nature of kingdoms and collective identities in early medieval Ireland in relation to other other regions of northwestern Europe.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

This section requires students to explore: 1. The political, social and religious background in Ireland prior to the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. 2. Evidence of the arrival of Christianity in Ireland before Patrick (Pre-Patrician Christianity. 3. References to Palladius and the significance of these references to understanding the background to Christianity in Ireland before Patrick’s arrival. Early Irish society provided a great contrast to the society of the Roman Empire. For example, it had no towns or cities, no central government or no standard currency. Many Scholars have described it as tribal, rural, hierarchical and familiar. The Tuath was the basic political group or unit and was a piece of territory ruled by a King. It is estimated that there were about 150 such Tuath in pre – Christian Ireland. The basic social group was the fine and included all relations in the male line of descent.

    BOOK TWO CHAPTER 1 THE LIFE OF SAINT PATRICK APOSTLE OF IRELAND This information is mostly from the above book, supplemented by information from various other sources, and it is intended to describe the life of Saint Patrick in his travels throughout Ireland. He is credited with the conversion of Ireland from Paganism to Christianity. The book was: Published by R. WASHBOURNE, 18 Paternoster Row, London Printed April 16, 1870 by J. B. Lauwers, Vic-Gen. Sancta Trinitas Unas Deus These are individual statements and lines of prose which describe these activities which are related to Saint Patrick, and reflect the character and thinking of the Roman Catholic clergy, from whom they have originated. While the book from which they are taken more than likely does not exist any longer except in my own library, I have attempted to copy specific phrases and meanings from it, and only add clarity and continuity to their meanings. It is, by far, foe most complete book that I have found on this subject, and 1 have read many. On Page 5, foe author identifies "the sequestered Island of Eire, the seat of art, science and civilization; and thus predisposing the natives for receiving the truth of the Gospel" Since the illustrious Ollav Fola, (or Eochaidh Ollamh Fodhla, High King of Ireland - 1317 B. C. to 1277 B. C.) who was nearly contemporary with Lycurgus, instituted wholesale laws for limiting the powers of the monarch (of Ireland) and restraining the licentiousness of the subject, the people at large had become more civilized, courteous and polite.

  • Bilingualism in the Cambrai Homily
    Bilingualism in the Cambrai Homily Gwendolyne Knight* The Cambrai Homily (Cambrai, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 679 [s. viii2] ff. 37rb–38rb) is a short prose homily found between two chapters of the Collectio canonum Hibernensis; as the Homily is incomplete, it has been suggested that it was copied from a stray leaf inserted into the exemplar of the Collectio. The Homily itself is estimated to date to the seventh or first half of the eighth century. More salient for the purpose of this anthology, however, is the fact that the Homily code-switches between Latin and Old Irish. Some claim that this text provides us with the earliest record of continuous Irish prose; as such it has long been an important source for early Irish linguistics, as well as evidence for sermons in the seventh-century Irish Church. Nevertheless, the aspects of code-switching between Old Irish and Latin in the Cambrai Homily remain underexplored. This article provides an assessment of existing perspectives on the relationship between Latin and Old Irish in this homily, and offers a fresh interpretation of the code-switching that takes place. Keywords: Medieval homily, code-switching, translation studies, Old Irish, Latin, Cambrai Introduction The manuscript preserved in Cambrai, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 679 (formerly 619) is a partial transmission of the Collectio canonum Hibernensis, containing 38 of 65-69 books of scriptural and patristic extracts, as well as canon law, and Irish synodal and penitential de- crees. It was copied for Alberic, bishop of Cambrai and Arras (763-790), in the second half of the 8th century.

In his prayer intention, Pope Francis asks everyone to pray for those who are suffering, as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to inflict all sorts of difficulties around the world. Pope Francis Tweet “The feast of the Most Holy Trinity invites us to let ourselves be fascinated by God’s beauty, goodness and inexhaustible truth. He is humble, near, who became flesh in order to enter into our history, so that every man and woman may encounter Him and have eternal life.” The Most Holy Trinity The fundamental dogma, on which everything in Christianity is based, is that of the Blessed Trinity in whose name all Christians are baptized. The feast of the Blessed Trinity needs to be understood and celebrated as a prolongation of the mysteries of Christ and as the solemn expression of our faith in this triune life of the Divine Persons, to which we have been given access by Baptism and by the Redemption won for us by Christ. Only in heaven shall we properly understand what it means, in union with Christ, to share as sons in the very life of God.

They and I are profoundly grateful. Dr. Schenker helped me to catch up in Greek during my first semester and Silvia Sarais spent hours of her own study time and struggled through our language barrier to give me a thorough grounding in Greek grammar and style. I owe to them my competence in Greek Dr. Smith patiently endured my arguments and tardiness time and again and gave me wonderful, thought-provoking insights both in his medieval philosophy class and during the thesis process. Dr. Marks taught me Greek prose composition during my second year and gave me helpful suggestions for further research.

Indeed, the first decision confronting anyone who wishes to consider this subject is to define its geographical limits: the modern county of Meath is quite a different entity to the medieval kingdom of Mide from which it gets its name and which itself designated different areas at different times. It would be quite defensible to include in a survey of medieval literature those areas which are now under the administration of other modern counties, but which may have been part of the medieval kingdom at the time that that literature was produced.
