Description
Early Irish linguistics; Early Irish texts and literature; Comparative Celtic linguistics; Continental Celtic linguistics; Indo-European comparative philology.Projects
- Title
- A handbook of Early Old Irish
- Summary
- This project will give an overview of the textual remains of the Early Old Irish period (c. 550-70 AD). It will offer, for the first time, critical editions of the principal documents dating from this period but mostly attested in later manuscript copies only. These consist of one continuous prose fragment (the Cambrai homily), various collections of glosses on Latin texts and proper names embedded in Latin documents. Each edition will be introduced by a synchronic and diachronic assessment of the manuscript source(s). In addition, a complete grammatical description and historical evaluation of all known linguistic facts will be provided.
- Title
- An edition of the text Fingal Rónáin 'The "kin-slaying" of Rónán'
- Summary
- This early Middle Irish text (c. early 10th century AD) is preserved in two manuscripts (both kept in the library of Trinity College Dublin). The critical edition will discuss the manuscripts' relationship and establish that they are independent copies, discuss the evidence for restoring the lost archetype and on that basis present a linguistic profile of the original composition. Furthermore, its literary connections and independent merits will be assessed, including a literary use of different linguistic registers that at the present stage of knowledge is unique in Early Irish literature.
