PREFACE 

The  lithographic  Facsimile  of  Lebor  na  Huidre  executed 
by  Joseph  O'Longan,  and  published  by  the  Royal  Irish 
Academy  in  1870,  having  been  out  of  print  for  many 
years,  the  Council  decided  in  192 1  to  issue  under  our 
joint  editorship  a  new  edition  of  the  ms.,  to  be  printed 
in  Roman  characters,  in  which  the  different  hands,  more 
especially  the  numerous  interpolations  to  which  atten- 
tion had  recently  been  drawn,  and  which  gave  a  new 
character  to  the  ms.,  should  be  distinguished  by  different 
founts  of  type.  The  aim  of  the  present  edition  is  to 
provide  not  a  critical  text — so  many  of  the  tracts  being 
defective  owing  to  lacunae  in  the  volume — but  rather  an 
accurate  transcript,  which  will  supplement  the  '  Fac- 
simile '  and  present  the  evidence  of  the  ms.  in  a  more 
convenient  form. 

Some  apology  is  necessary  for  the  long  delay  that 
has  ensued  since  the  work  was  taken  in  hands.  The 
task  of  editing,  owing  largely  to  difficulties  of  interpre- 
tation, proved  more  arduous  and  exacting  than  had  been 
anticipated.  The  entire  work,  both  in  ms.  and  in  proof, 
was  collated  more  than  once  with  the  original  by  both 
editors,  and  frequent  revision  of  the  text  took  place. 
The  final  comparison  was  with  the  '  Facsimile,'  when  a 
number  of  inadmissible  readings  of  the  facsimilist,  which 
had  before  been  overlooked,  were  noted,  together  with 


vi  PREFACE 

certain  inconsistencies  of  our  own,  indicated  in  the 
Introduction.  We  hope  that  it  may  not  be  found 
necessary  to  add  considerably  to  the  list  of  Corrigenda, 
which  in  works  such  as  this  is  almost  inevitable. 

We  desire  here  to  express  our  appreciation  of  the 
skilful  manner  in  which  the  University  Press  has 
seconded  our  efforts  in  the  execution  of  this  compli- 
cated work,  so  long  in  the  press.

INTRODUCTION 


THE  manuscript  volume  known  as  Lebor  na  Huidre  or 
Book  of  the  Dun,  so  named  presumably  from  the  hide 
of  a  famous  dun  cow  of  St.  Ciarán  of  Clonmacnois,  has  been 
in  the  possession  of  the  Royal  Irish  Academy  since  1844, 
when  it  was  acquired  by  purchase  along  with  a  number  of 
other  MSS.,  212  in  all,  from  Messrs.  Hodges  &  Smith  of 
College  Green.  This  collection  had  been  in  course  of  formation 
for  many  years,  and  was  offered  to  the  Academy  in  February, 
1843,  for  a  sum  much  below  its  market  value,  namely  1200 
guineas,  in  order  that  the  manuscripts  might  be  retained  in  the 
country.  Towards  this  the  Government  of  the  day  contributed 
£600,  Lord  Adare  raised  ,£300,  the  Academy  contributed  £200, 
and  private  subscribers  the  remainder.  The  Catalogue  of  the 
collection,  known  as  the  Hodges  &  Smith  collection,  was 
compiled  by  Eugene  O'Curry.  It  fills  three  large  folio  volumes, 
and  Lebor  11a  Huidre  is  No.  226  in  the  collection.  Its  press 
mark  is  now  23  E  25.  In  whose  keeping  this  venerable 
manuscript  was  before  it  passed  into  the  custody  of  Messrs. 
Hodges  &  Smith,  is  now  unknown.  It  was  in  their  hands  at 
all  events  in  1837,  when  it  was  cited  by  Petrie  in  his  famous 
essay  on  the  History  and  Antiquities  of  Tara  Hill  (R.I. A. 
Trans.  XVIII.,  1837). 

Of  its  past  history  little  is  known  beyond  what  is  recorded 
in  the  two  precatory  entries  in  the  book  itself  (p.  37b ;  infra 
p.  89).  In  the  former,  made  in  A.D.  1345,  the  compilation  of 
the  book  is  ascribed  to  Mael  Muire  son  of  Célechar,  whose 
probaiio pennae  occurs  on  the  upper  margins  of  p.  55,  where  it  is 
only  partly  legible :  Probatio  pennae  Mail  Muri  m^zc  m^z'c 
Cuind  [na  mbocht]  j1  and  of  p.  70:  Prfbatio  pennae  Mail  Muri 
inso.

x  INTRODUCTION 

The  two  entries  in  question  have  been  translated  and 
interpreted  by  O'Curry  in  his  MS.  Materials  of  Ancient  Irish 
History,  p.  182  ff.,  and  again  in  his  Catalogue,  reprinted  in  the 
Introduction  to  the  Facsimile.  It  may  be  convenient,  however, 
to  give  at  this  point  a  fresh  rendering  of  them,  and  to  recapitu- 
late their  contents. 

I.  "A  prayer  for  Mael  M 11  ire  son  of  Célechar,  grandson  of 
Conn  na  mBocht,  who  copied  and  searched  out  this  book  from 
various  books.  A  prayer  for  Domnall1  son  of  Muirchertach  son 
•of  Domnall  son  of  Tadg  son  of  Brian  son  of  Aindrias  son  of 
Brian  Luignech  son  of  Toirrdelbach  Mór.  It  is  this  Domnall 
who  ordered  the  restoration2  by  Sigraid  O  Cuirrndin3  [of  the 
work]  of  that  same  person  by  whom  this  beautiful  book  was 
written.  And  which  is  best  for  us,  to  send  our  blessing  to  the 
owner  of  this  book  by  human  lips  or  to  leave  it  with  him  ?  And 
it  is  a  week  from  to-day  to  Easter  Saturday,  and  a  week  from 
yesterday  to  Good  Friday,  and  there  are  two  golden  Fridays 
therein,  i.e.  Friday  of  the  Festival  of  Mary4  and  Good  Friday, 
and  that  is  a  great  marvel  to  certain  scholars." 

II.  "A  prayer  for  Aed  Ruad  son  of  Niall  Garb  O'Donnell 
who  carried  off  this  book  by  force  from  the  Connachtmen,  and 
the  Leabar  Gearr  along  with  it,  after  they  had  been  absent  from 
us  from  the  time  of  Cathal  Og  O'Conor  to  that  of  Ruaidri  son 
•of  Brian  [O'Conor],  and  ten  lords  were  over  Cairbre  in  the 
interval.     And  in  the  time  of  Conchobar5  son  of  Aed  O'Donnell 


1  He  died  in  the  Castle  of  Sligo,  a  week  before  Christmas,  1395.     FM. 

•  The  retracing  or  re-inking  of  faded  letters  is  quite  common  in  Irish  MSS.  The 
expressions  used  by  the  scribe  of  Laud  Misc.  610  (Bodl.),  entrusted  with  the  task  of 
renovating  that  MS.  are,  athscribad  na  liter,  '  the  re-writing  of  the  letters,  fol.  24  d  ; 
lesugad  an  Ubhair,  'the  restoring  of  the  book,'  fol.  47/;  culaid  athnuaigthi, 
'implement  of  renovation,'  fol.  257'.  See  Plummer's  Colophons  and  Marginalia  of 
Irish  Scribes,  1926,  p.  85  (British  Academy  Proc). 

This  and  the  following  entry  have  themselves  been  retraced,  the  former  so 
skilfully  that  it  is  only  through  minute  portions  of  letters  here  and  there  having 
escaped  the  process,  that  one  can  recognize  it.  In  the  second  Orait,  which 
overflows  into  the  lower  margin,  the  retracing  is  more  obvious.  Consequently  a 
second  renovator  has  been  at  work  at  some  later  period. 

3  Sidhradh  6  Cuirnin,  a  learned  poet  and  ollav  of  Breifne,  died  1347.     FM. 

4  The  festival  of  the  Annunciation  referred  to  here,  coincided  with  Good  Friday 
on  March  25th,  1345,  which  furnishes  the  date  of  the  entry.     Cp.  Facsimile,  p.  xi. 

5  He  succeeded  his  father  in  1333,  and  was  slain  by  his  brother  Niall  in  his  own 
^fortress  at  Murbach  in  1342.     FM. 


INTRODUCTION  xi 

they  were  taken  to  the  West,  and  in  this  manner  they  were 
taken,  i.e.  the  Leabar  Gearr1  in  ransom  for  O'Doherty2  and 
Leabar  na  Huidre  going  in  ransom  for  the  son  of  O'DonnelTs 
ollav  of  history,  it  being  taken  by  Cathal  as  a  pledge  for  him 
from  Cenél  Conaill  .  .  .3  from  Conchobar  to  Aed."4 

From  the  above  entries  it  would  appear  that  Lebor  na 
Huidre  was  carried  from  Donegal  into  Connacht  during  the 
reign  of  Conchobar  son  of  Aed  O'Donnell,  that  is  between  1333 
and  1342;  that  it  remained  there  until  1470,  when  it  was 
brought  back  to  Donegal  after  a  successful  expedition  by  Aed 
Ruad,  son  of  Niall  Garb  O'Donnell.  Further,  that  in  1345, 
shortly  after  its  transfer  to  Connacht,  the  writing  which  was 
then  much  faded,  was  renovated  or  re-inked  by  Sigraid 
'Ó  Cuirrndin,  a  poet  of  Bréifne,  who  died  in  1347.  It  was  thus 
upwards  of  130  years  in  Connacht. 

That  the  book  was  still  in  Donegal  in  1631,  when  the 
O'Clerys  and  their  associates  were  at  work  in  the  Franciscan 
Convent  there,  is  evident  from  the  references  to  it  in  their 
various  compilations:  (1)  Martyrology  of  Donegal  (1630)  under 
Sep.  23  ;  (2)  Lebar  Gabála  (1631)  preface,  where  it  is  described 
as  written  at  Clonmacnois  in  the  time  of  St.  Ciarán  ;  (3J  in 
their  Annals  of  the  Kingdom  of  Ireland,  under  A.D.  266  (Stowe 
copy).     Further  Lughaidh  O'Clery  is  said  by  Mac  Fir  Bhisigh

taken  over  sea,   since  when  it  was  never  heard  of.

"The  Castle  of  Sligo  was  taken  by  O'Donnell  from  Domnall,  sonofEoghan 
O'Conor,  after  having  been  besieged  for  a  long  time.  And  O'Donnell  obtained  his 
own  judgment  and  awards  on  that  occasion,  including  submission  and  tribute  from 
Lower  Connacht.  It  was  on  that  occasion  were  given  to  him  the  Lebar  Gearr  and 
Lebar  na  Huidre,  and  the  chairs  of  Domnall  Óg  which  had  been  taken  to  the

in  his  Book  of  Genealogies  to  have  transcribed  the  whole  or  a 
part  of  Lebor  na  Huidre.  Colgan  refers  to  it  in  his  Acta 
Sanctorum,  1645,  and  Keating  in  his  History  fed.  Comyn,. 
I,  P.  78). 

How  long  it  continued  to  remain  in  Donegal,  and  what 
were  its  subsequent  wanderings  until  acquired  by  Messrs. 
Hodges  &  Smith,  we  have  no  means  of  knowing. 

Mael  Muire,  with  whose  name  it  is  associated  as  the 
principal  scribe,  was  slain  by  marauders  in  1106  in  the  middle 
of  the  Daimhliag  of  Clonmacnois,  according  to  the  Annals  of 
the  Four  Masters,  and  this  is  the  only  mention  of  him  apart 
from  the  Book  itself:  Maolmuire  mac  mic  Cuind  na  mbocht 
do  mharbhadh  ar  lar  doimhliacc  Cluana  mic  Nóis  la  haois 
aidhmhillte.  His  family  had  been  settled  at  Clonmacnois  for 
many  generations,  his  direct  ancestors  occupying  high  positions 
in  learned  and  ecclesiastical  circles.  Heinrich  Zimmer  has 
traced  them  back  through  the  Annals  in  his  notable  study, 
"  Ueber  den  compilatorischen  charakter  der  irischen  sagentexte 
im  sogenannten  Lebor  na  Huidre"  (Zeitschr.  f.  vergl.  Sprach- 
forschung  xxviii,  671  ff.).  Mael  Muire,  was  the  son  of  Célechar, 
presumably  Célechar  Mugdornach,  bishop  of  Clonmacnois,  who 
died  in  1067.  His  grandfather  at  all  events  was  Conn  na 
mbocht,  so  called  because  of  his  liberality  to  the  poor.  He 
was  head  of  the  Céli  Dé  and  anchorite  of  Clonmacnois.  He 
died  in  1059.  His  father  was  Joseph,  anmchara  or  confessor  of 
Clonmacnois,  d.  1022,  son  of  Dunchad,  bishop  of  Clonmacnois, 
d-  953,  son  of  Egertach,  airchinnech  or  superior  of  Ecclais  Becr 
d.  893,  grandson  of  Eogan,  anchorite  of  Clonmacnois,  d.  845, 
son  of  Aedagán.  abbot  of  Louth,  d.  834,  son  of  Torbach,  scribe, 
lector,  and  abbot  of  Armagh,  d.  807.  son  of  Gorman,  comarba 
or  successor  of  Mochta  of  Louth,  d.  753,  when  on  a  pilgrimage 
at  Clonmacnois.  A  still  earlier  Gorman  of  the  Mugdornai  also 
died  there  in  610,  when  on  a  pilgrimage,  and  he  too,  according 
to  the  Annals  of  Clonmacnois,  was  an  ancestor  of  Mael  Muire. 
As  Zimmer  truly  observes,  Mael  Muire,  doubly  connected  by 
his  ancestry  with  Armagh  and  Clonmacnois,  was  in  the  line  of 
a  great  tradition. 

It  is  strange  that  a  volume  of  such  importance  should  not 
have   been    mentioned   in    its  turn    as   a    source  in   any   other

medieval  Irish  manuscript,  like  those  famous  books  cited  in  it 
— Lebar  Dromma  Snechta,  Lebar  Buide  Sláni,  etc.

Description,— In  its  present  state  Lebor  na  Huidre  is  little 
more  than  a  fragment,  consisting  of  67  leaves  of  vellum,  of 
varying  quality,  and  averaging  eleven  inches  in  height  by  eight 
in  breadth  :  three  shorter  leaves  have  been  intercalated.  When 
the  volume  was  bound  and  repaired  in  188 1,  the  gatherings 
were  taken  asunder,  the  leaves  separated  from  their  conjugates 
and  laid  down  singly  on  parchment  mounts,  so  that  it  is  no 
longer  possible  to  determine  their  relations  to  one  another,  or 
the  number  and  make-up  of  the  various  gatherings  or  quires. 
To  attempt  this  now,  the  volume  would  have  to  be  taken 
asunder,  the  leaves  dismounted,  and  repieced  where  possible. 

The  leaves,  with  a  few  exceptions,  are  foliated  on  the  recto, 
in  the  centre  of  the  lower  margin,  by  means  of  the  letters  of  the 
alphabet,  the  last  three  leaves  in  a  series  after  s,  terminating  7, 
e|'c,  wnen.1 

In  addition  to  this  earlier  foliation  there  is  a  later  one  in 
Arabic  numerals  on  the  recto  of  each  leaf,  in  the  middle  of 
the  upper  margin,  made  in  the  late  sixteenth  or  early  seven- 
teenth century.2  Finally  there  is  a  modern  pagination,  made 
for  the  purpose  of  the  lithographic  Facsimile  of  1870.  As  all 
subsequent  references  to  the  MS.  in  Irish  studies  have  been 
to  this  pagination,  it  has  been  adopted  in  the  present  edition 
for  the  sake  of  convenience. 

Scribes. — Lebor  na  Huidre,  as  we  have  seen,  has  traditionally 
been  regarded  as  the  compilation  of  Mael  Muire.  In  its  present 
condition,  however,  apart  from  certain  scholia  and  adscripts,  it 
is  the  work  of  three  quite  distinct  hands,  here  denoted  A,  the 
first  scribe,  M  =  Mael  Muire,  and  H,  an  interpolator. 


1  On  the  lower  margins  of  the  Irish  codex  Ambrosianus  C  301  (=  Ml.  glosses) 
there  is  an  alphabetic  foliation  which,  to  judge  from  photographic  prints,  appears 
to  follow  sections;  these  are  of  varying  length,  and  their  sequence  is  marked  by 
majuscules  :  e.g.,  &  a-1  ;  £  A-n,  etc.  Only  one  section,  (jo],  is  foliated  to  the  end, 
and  the  first  three,  [A],  b,  C,  are  not  foliated  at  all.  This  foliation,  which  is 
seemingly  in  the  9th-cent.  text  hand,  has  not  attracted  attention  hitherto. 

2  This  is  omitted  in  the  Facsimile. 


xiv  INTRODUCTION 

J.  O'Beirne  Crowe,  who  had  transcribed  the  greater  part  of 
the  MS.,  and  had  edited  and  translated  several  texts  from  it,  in 
the  introduction  to  his  edition  of  Siaburcharpat  Con  Culaind 
(Journ.  of  the  R.  Hist,  and  Archaeol.  Assocn.  of  Ireland,  4  Ser., 
vol.  I,  p.  372  f.,  1 871)  drew  attention  to  the  occurrence  of  this 
third  hand  in  that  particular  tract,  and  elsewhere  in  the  MS. ; 
but  he  supposed  it  to  be  that  of  a  fellow-worker  of  Mael  Muire, 
and  his  observation,  which  was  made  quite  casually  for  the 
purpose  of  exposing  a  faulty  reading,  escaped  the  notice  of 
subsequent  investigators.1 

It  was  not  until  recent  years  that  the  true  role  of  this  third 
hand  as  an  interpolator  was  made  known,  and  the  first  hand 
distinguished.  See  R.  I.  Best,  Notes  on  the  Script  of  Lebor  na 
Huidre  (Eriu  VI,  161  ff.,  191 2)  from  which  the  account  that 
follows  is  adapted,  and  which  should  be  referred  to  for  further 
details  and  illustrations  of  the  interpolated  passages. 

A.  The  book  was  begun  by  A,  who  was  the  best  penman,  if 
not  the  most  accurate  copyist.  He  also  began  to  transcribe 
the  Fís  Adamnán  and  the  Táin,  when  the  pen  was  taken  up  by 
Mael  Muire.  How  much  more  A  transcribed  we  cannot  tell,  so 
many  leaves  are  now  lost.  It  is  a  careful  well-formed  book 
hand,  the  strokes  firmly  drawn,  those  extending  below  the  line 
tapering  to  a  point  (pi.  I).  The  letters  are  more  uniform  in 
height,  maintaining  a  more  even  level  than  either  of  the  other 
hands.  The  distinguishing  feature  of  this  hand  is  the  hooked 
open  a,  more  familiar  as  a  capital,  but  here  used  in  preference 
to  the  small  open  a,  which  however  also  occurs.  This  hooked 
a  is  used  in  the  same  manner  in  other  manuscripts  of  the 
period,  the  Trinity  College  Liber  Hymnorum,  for  example.2 
The  second  marked  peculiarity  of  A  is  the  tall  e,  which  occurs 
in  two  forms,  having  a  slight  droop  at  the  top,  but  free  of  the 
following  letter,  and  also  occasionally  looped  and  touching  the 
following  letter.  This  is  quite  a  common  feature  in  Irish 
hands,  but  in  this  MS.  the  double  formation  is  peculiar  to  this 
hand  only.  Similarly  in  sr.  sf,  ss,  etc.,  the  first  s  when  it  rises 
above  the  line  is  not  joined  to  the  succeeding  letter.  Character- 
istic is  tall  e  followed  by  z,  in  ein,  where  the  «-stroke  is  under

INTRODUCTION  xv 

the  loop  of  e,  and  over  the  i\  a\\\  the  compendium  for  ar  is  better 
drawn  than  in  the  other  hands,  where  it  has  a  tendency  to  rise 
above  the  line.  Note  in  si,  how  the  i  subscript  is  ligatured  to 
the  shaft  of  s,  giving  the  latter  almost  the  appearance  of  h;  and 
the  mark  of  aspiration  curled  up  at  the  end,  also  the  pronounced 
upward  curl  to  the  cross  bar  of/  in  the  symbol  for  nó  (uel),  and 
the  drooping  character  of  s.  Again,  the  compendium  for  fri, 
where  the  hooked  character  above  the  /is  more  upright  than  in 
either  M  or  H.  The  2-shaped  r  so  common  in  the  other  hands, 
after  o,  b,  d,  is  only  used  by  A  two  or  three  times.  The  large 
ornamental  initials  are  elaborate  and  well  formed.  Contractions 
are  not  so  numerous  as  in  the  other  hands,  and  h  is  more 
frequently  written  out.  It  is  an  elegant,  somewhat  formal 
hand,  uniformly  good. 

M.  =  Mael  Muire.  This  is  a  graceful  more  pointed  hand,  not 
so  regular  as  the  former  (pi.  II).  The  letters  have  a  tendency 
to  lean  back,  as  if  the  writer  held  his  pen  sideways,  which  gives 
a  somewhat  broken,  but  at  the  same  time  not  unpleasing  appear- 
ance to  the  writing.  It  is  a  beautiful  and  refined  hand,  easy  to 
distinguish.  Occasionally  it  appears  slightly  larger  and  heavier, 
not  unlike  that  of  H,  due  to  retracing,  but  it  is  always  careful 
and  good.  Its  distinguishing  characteristic  is  that  the  tall  e 
is  invariably  looped  over  and  joined  to  the  succeeding  letter,1 
similarly  s  when  raised  above  the  line,  in  ss,  s/,  etc.  ;  si  is  rarely 
ligatured,  the  subscript  i  being  thrown  well  out  from  the  shaft 
of  the  i",  but  in  the  early  pages  it  is  straight,  dropping  below  the 
line.  Observe  the  2-shaped  r,  how  it  drops  gracefully  below 
the  line,  often  with  a  slight  upward  curl,  contrasting  with  the 
same  letter  in  the  other  hands,  generally  short.  The  shafts  of 
s,  r,  f,  are  as  a  rule  long,  finishing  in  a  delicate  hair-stroke. 
M  uses  once  for  de,  c  with  a  tongue  at  the  top.  The  accents 
are  clearly  and  finely  marked,  very  characteristic  in  this  hand. 
The  large  ornamental  initials  are  well  drawn  like  those  of  A. 
This  is  the  hand  of  the probatio  pennae  (pis.  I,  II)  and  accord- 
ingly Mael  Muire's.2 

1  This  letter  is  frequently  opened  out  at  the  top  by  the  re  tracer  so  as  to  resemble 
that  of  H. 

3  Mael  Muire  evidently  took  up  the  pen  from  A  at  p.  55,  and  began  to  transcribe 
at  col.  b  1.  34,  afterwards  effaced  by  H,  together  with  lines  1-12  on  the  following 
page.  Hence  the  probatio  pennae  of  M  on  this  page,  his  corrections,  and  also  the 
title,  which  is  in  his  hand. 


xvi  INTRODUCTION 

H  or  the  interpolator.  As  it  is  the  hand  that  transcribed 
the  Homilies  (p.  31-37)  it  is  denoted  by  H  (pi.  lb  34-end  ;  lib 
32-end.)  This  hand  exhibits  much  greater  variety  than  either 
of  the  preceding,  is  liable  to  deteriorate,  and  ranges  from 
a  neat  and  careful  script  to  an  untidy  scrawl.  In  general  it  is  a 
plain  sloping  hand,  somewhat  stiff  and  irregular,  the  strokes 
usually  terminating  squarely  as  if  made  by  a  broad  pen.  It  has 
none  of  the  delicacy  and  lightness  of  M.  Its  distinguishing 
characteristic  is  again  the  tall  e,  which  unlike  that  of  M  is  never 
looped  but  always  open,  and  clear  of  the  fullow'ng  letter. 
Precisely  the  same  treatment  is  observed  in  s  when  rising  above 
the  line,  e.g.,  in  ss,  sf,  sr,  sp,  etc.  The  small  round  head  of/"  is 
characteristic,  and  the  g  is  rather  square.  In  the  Homilies, 
where  a  large  amount  of  matter  is  compressed  into  a  page,  the 
writing  is  small  and  cramped  :  the  stumpy  appearance  of  si 
and  the  short  tails  of  r  and  s  will  not  fail  to  strike  the  eye. 
Elsewhere  the  writing  is  larger,  in  one  place  upright  and 
carefully  formed  (p.  21,  cp.  Eriu  VI,  pi.  VIb),  inclining  to  the 
round,  in  another  angular  and  approximating  to  M  (p.  26;  ib. 
pi.  Via),  but  always, with  the  tall  e  open.  Again,  rough  and 
untidy  [p.  42;  ib.  pi.  Vila),  rapid  and  spread  out  (p.  105;  ib. 
pi.  Vile),  as  if  the  object  were  to  make  a  certain  amount  of 
matter  extend  to  the  end  of  the  column.  Occasionally  the 
style  is  more  free,  seeming  almost  to  borrow  some  of  the 
features  of  M  (p.  1 10  ;  ib.  pi.  Vllf).  Note  also  ci,  the  i  subscript 
and  drawn  round,  a  favourite  form  with  H,  also  used  by  A,  but 
only  sparingly  by  M  (p.  34;  ib.  Ilia  20).  The  capitals  and 
large  ornamental  letters  are  with  one  or  two  exceptions  more 
rudely  drawn  than  those  of  A  or  M. 

Interpolator. — The  intervention  of  H  is  throughout  rude  and 
violent.  Not  only  single  words  and  lines,  but  whole  columns 
and  pages  have  been  erased  by  him,  and  leaves  intercalated,  to 
make  way  for  the  particular  recensions  which  he  favoured.  He 
set  to  work  with  great  determination  and,  it  must  be  said,  with 
no  small  interest  in  the  texts.  The  membrane  of  many  leaves 
has  been  rubbed  down  into  holes,  and  is  exceedingly  fragile  in 
places.  Even  the  three  shorter  leaves  intercalated  appear  to 
have  been  cut  down,  scraped,  and  prepared  for  his  purpose.1 

1  For  instance,  on  p.  123  traces  of  the  former  text,  elo.  are  clearly  visible  on  the 
outer  rim. 


INTRODUCTION  xvii 

In  the  so-called  Annals  of  Tigernach,  a  MS.  of  the  end  of 
the  eleventh  century,  now  bound  up  at  the  beginning  of  Rawl. 
B.  502  (Facs.  ed.,  1909),  the  hand  of  H  appears  again  as  an 
interpolator  (see  R.  I.  Best,  Palaeographical  Notes,  Ériu  VII., 
114  ff.).  His  association  with  what  are  evidently  two 
Clonmacnois  manuscripts,  for  Tigernach,  who  died  in  1088,  was 
abbot  of  Clonmacnois,  would  point  to  his  having  been  a 
member  of  that  community.  The  interpolations  in  our  MS. 
were  thus  in  all  likelihood  made  before  it  was  removed  to 
Donegal  prior  to  the  fourteenth  century.  During  its  stay  there 
and  in  Connacht,  Lebor  na  Huidre,  as  we  have  seen,  was  treated 
as  an  object  of  veneration,  and  suffered  no  alterations  in  its 
text.  Indeed  the  statement  on  p.  39^19,  as  to  the  whereabouts 
of  its  companion  in  exile,  the  Leabar  Gearr,  being  unknown, 
was  permitted  to  remain  unaltered,  notwithstanding  that  the 
two  precious  volumes  were  together  for  a  century  or  two,  if  not 
longer.  The  remarkable  thing  is  that  Sigraid  Ó  Cuirrndin,  who 
wrote  his  Orait  on  the  blank  space  of  a  page  which  had  been 
rewritten  by  H,  and  abraded  to  the  point  of  perforation,  should 
have  failed  to  observe  that  this  beautiful  book  (sciamhiebhar), 
as  he  admiringly  calls  it,  was  only  partly  the  work  of  Mael 
Muire.  And  it  is  hardly  to  be  supposed  that  the  interpolations 
of  H  were  confined  to  the  portion  that  has  come  down  to  us. 
Further,  Sigraid's  phrase  ro  scritt  a  lebraib  egsamlaib  must  refer 
to  the  sources  mentioned  in  the  MS.,  all  with  one  exception 
(133  a  25)  occurring  in  the  interpolated  passages  of  H. 

The  script  of  H  contains  no  elements  so  markedly  different 
from  the  other  two  hands  as  would  enable  one  to  assign  a  later 
date  to  it  on  purely  palaeographical  grounds.  He  indulges 
more  frequently  in  abbreviation  and  in  dropped  letters, 
particularly  where  space  was  for  him  a  valuable  consideration. 
From  his  having  utilised  certain  recensions  which  are  not  earlier 
than  the  beginning  of  the  thirteenth  century,  Thurneysen  is 
inclined  to  place  him  in  that  century  (Die  irisclie  Helden-  und 
Kdnigsage,  p.  31).  And  it  may  well  be  so.  His  hand  has  much 
in  common  with  that  of  the  Book  of  Leinster  scribe  (late 
twelfth  century),  when  not  at  his  best,  and  that  of  the  scribe 
who  wrote  the  entry  for  1272  in  Rawl.  B.  503  (Annals  of 
Inisfallen).     We  are  not  disposed,  however,  to  put  it  later  than 

b 


xviii  INTRODUCTION 

the  thirteenth  century.  The  question  arises  here  as  to  the 
period  of  the  earlier  alphabetic  foliation.  When  did  it  take 
place?  Are  the  letters  on  the  interpolated  leaves  in  the  hand 
of  H?  According  to  Prou  (Manuel  de  paléographie,  p.  25), 
manuscripts  were  not  foliated  prior  to  the  thirteenth  century. 
Reusens,  however,  states  that  foliation  is  as  old  as  the  twelfth 
century  {Elements  de  paléographie,  p.  460).  The  foliation  of  Irish 
manuscripts  in  mediaeval  times  is  so  rare  that  this  and  the  Milan 
codex  already  referred  to  are  the  only  instances  we  know  of. 

The  letters  vary  in  size,  being  sometimes  quite  small.  The 
ink,  where  not  re-touched,  has  faded  to  a  pale  black  or  greyish 
hue,  not  the  brown  tint  of  the  text  where  it  has  escaped  retrac- 
ing. It  is  very  difficult  to  give  an  opinion  on  isolated  letters, 
and  the  only  words  occurring  are  eyz  (thrice)  and  &meti  (twice). 
They  are  in  all  instances  faded.  We  hesitate  to  pronounce  on 
their  age,  beyond  that  in  form  they  are  not  inconsistent  with 
even  the  twelfth-  and  thirteenth-century  hands  of  the  Book  of 
Leinster  and  Rawlinson  B.  503  (Annals  of  Inisfallen)  and  the 
fourteenth-century  hand  of  Rawl.  B.  488  (Annals  of  Tigernach). 
A  strong  presumption  that  the  foliation  took  place  prior  to  the 
interpolations  would  appear  to  be  furnished  by  the  signatures 
on  ff.  75  and  76  (=  pp.  115,  117).  These  two  leaves  intercalated 
by  H,  take  the  place  of  a  single  leaf  by  M,  which  when  erased 
by  H  was  found  insufficient  to  contain  the  new  matter  he 
wished  to  insert.  Now  the  leaves  preceding  and  following, 
which  are  by  M,  are  signed  |\  and  c,  while  the  signatures  on 
the  two  intervening  leaves  are  both  ]',  which  had  to  be  repeated. 
Again,  by  fol.  25  (=  p.  21),  which  is  formed  by  the  repiecing  of 
two  columns,  the  first  (recto  and  verso)  by  M,  the  second  by  H ; 
the  signature  eyr  is  at  the  foot  of  M's  column,  but  underneath 
is  still  traceable  an  earlier  signature  5  (both  signatures  omitted 
in  the  Facsimile),  which  is  further  evidence  that  the  foliation 
preceded  the  interpolation. 

The  foliation,  for  the  most  part,  seems  to  be  the  work  of  a 
single  hand,  and,  to  judge  by  the  signature  y  on  p.  31,  in 
which  the  cross-stroke  traverses  the  shaft,  not  of  one  of  those 
occurring  elsewhere  in  the  volume.  At  least  it  is  not  possible 
to  state  positively  whether  the  signatures  on  the  leaves  erased  or 
intercalated  by  H  are  by  him  or  the  original  foliator.     It  may 


INTRODUCTION  xix 

well  be  that  the  foliation  took  place  at  the  time  H  set  to  work, 
and  that  the  leaves  interpolated  by  him  were  re-foliated  shortly 
afterwards  by  the  original  foliator.1 

The  following  conspectus  of  the  interpolations  of  H  may  be 
useful  in  conjunction  with  the  text ;  the  interlinear  glosses  in

The  various  foliations,  the  distribution  of  the  hands,  and 
the  extent  of  the  interpolations  and  lacunae  will  readily  be 
apprehended  by  a  glance  at  the  following  table.  It  will  be 
observed  that  the  present  order  of  the  leaves  corresponds,  with 
a  few  exceptions  towards  the  end,  to  what  it  was  in  the 
seventeenth  century.  An  asterisk  indicates  a  lacuna,  and 
square  brackets  [  ]  that  a  tract  is  defective  at  either  end,  or 
both,  as  the  case  may  be  : — 


1  It  should' be  noted  that  while  v  is  used  for  u  on  fol.  31,  both  u  and  v  occur  in 
succession  on  fols.  56,  57,  v  again  on  fol.  79,  out  of  place.  These  two  letters,  which 
are  not  alphabetically  distinct  in  Irish,  are  used  here,  once  at  least,  as  mere  letter 
forms.     On  the  other  hand_y  has  been  discarded.

INTRODUCTION  xxiii 

As  the  volume  now  stands  it  will  be  seen  that  A  contributed 
16  pages,  Mael  Muire  about  80,  and  the  interpolations  of  H 
amount  to  37  pages,  most  of  which  were  no  doubt  originally 
contributed  by  Mael  Muire. 

It  is  evident  from  the  foliations  that  a  great  portion  of  the 
book  has  been  lost,  at  least  66  leaves — 51  before  the  sixteenth- 
seventeenth  century  foliation,  and  16  after:  that  is,  the 
equivalent  of  the  volume  as  it  now  is.  And  it  is  highly 
probable  that  leaves  had  disappeared  when  the  earlier  foliation 
took  place.  For  instance,  four  leaves  (c-p,  3-6)  seem  scarcely 
sufficient  to  contain  the  missing  portions  of  the  first  two  tracts, 
Sex  Aetates  Mundi  and  Lebor  Bretnach.  Furthermore,  leaves 
are  missing  at  the  end  of  the  volume. 

Vellum. — When  not  rubbed  down  for  rescription,  the  vellum, 
as  is  generally  the  case  in  Irish  manuscripts,  is  thick  and 
ill-prepared;  fols.  9  (p.  7-8),  25  (p.  21-22),  and  the  last  leaf 
(p.  123-4)  are  formed  of  two  halves,  cut  asunder,  and  afterwards 
pieced  together  again.  The  upper  and  lower  margins  of  fol.  9. 
have  been  trimmed.  On  folios  51  and  54  (pp.  67,  73)  circular 
pieces  have  been  inset  at  the  lower  extremity  ;  folio  67  (p.  99), 
a  section  has  been  cut  across  the  lower  part,  and  replaced 
somewhat  crookedly  ;  folio  84  (p.  125)  has  been  cut  in  half,  and 
only  a  single  column,  recto  and  verso,  remains,  similarly  the  leaf 
paged  13 1 -2,  which  is  worn  very  thin  and  perforated.  In  a 
number  of  places,  to  which  attention  is  called  in  the  footnotes 
to  the  text,  some  portions  of  leaves  are  lost,  and  others  abraded 
into  holes  by  the  interpolator. 

Ruling. — The  ruling  is  done  with  a  hard  point,  the  number 
of  lines  on  a  page  varying  from  34  to  49.  The  writing  is  in  two 
columns  with  the  exception  of  one  short  leaf  intercalated  by  H, 
where  it  is  continuous.  The  horizontal  lines  are  bounded  by 
parallel  vertical  lines,  leaving  an  intercolumnar  space,  which 
like  the  outer  margins  is  used  for  titles,  and  occasionally  a  gloss. 
The  ruling  is  often  very  faint,  and  it  has  frequently  been 
obliterated  by  abrasion. 

Lists  of  names,  etc.,  are  written  in  sub-columns,  within  the 
column,  in  several  instances  bounded  by  vertical  lines,  on  pp.  \a, 
2b,  56a,  J$a,  Sob,  101a,  1  \$b. 

Ornament. — Large  ornamental  initial  letters,  generally  with 


xxiv  INTRODUCTION 

zoomorphic  terminals,  occur  at  the  beginning  of  tracts  and 
elsewhere,  enlivened  with  patches  of  colour,  red,  yellow,  and 
purple  ;  large  capitals  are  frequent,  and  dabs  of  colour  are 
liberally  applied  throughout  the  volume.  Those  of  H  appear 
to  have  been  modelled  on  A  and  M.  They  are  somewhat 
similar  to  those  in  Rawl.  B.  502. 

Punctuation. — The  only  punctuation  used  is  the  point 
which  marks  off  a  clause  or  sentence;  it  is  often  unnecessary, 
marring  the  sense,  and  it  is  often  wanting,  The  close  of  a 
paragraph  or  tract  is  frequently  indicated  by  a  single  point 
followed  by  a  virgule,  repeated  several  times  :.,.,;  or  instead 
.<-,  or  .v  repeated  in  the  same  way.  The  full  point  is  also  placed 
before  and  after  certain  abbreviations  and  symbols,  e.g.  .i.  id 
est  =  ed  ón,  never  written  out;  .7  et  =  ocus ;  the  Roman 
numerals  .ui. ;  .rh.,  .mc.,  '  mac?  This  is  the  regular  practice  in 
Irish  manuscripts. 

The  division  of  words  at  the  end  of  a  line  follows  no  system, 
nor  is  it  marked  by  a  stroke  or  hyphen.  The  space  left  over  at 
the  end  of  a  clause  is  most  often  filled  by  the  overflow  from  the 
following  line,  preceded  by  .//.  as  the  custom  is  in  Irish 
manuscripts  ;  occasionally  it  is  filled  up  by  a  few  spirals. 

The  separation  of  two  words  wrongly  joined  is  occasionally 
marked  by  subscript  oc,  which  may  be  of  later  date. 

Abbreviations. — The  abbreviation  symbols  are  those  com- 
monly found  in  medieval  manuscripts,  persisting  in  Irish  down 
to  recent  times,  e.g. : — 

The  straight  or  sinuous  horizontal  stroke  directly  over  a 
letter,  or  attached  to  the  shaft  of  b,  /,  h,  marking  the  omission 
of  the  letter  ?i  when  over  a  vowel,  n,  r,  or  s;  over  two  vowels 
or  a  final  letter,  when  it  serves  as  a  suspension  mark,  almost 
any  syllable,  e.g.  : — slua  =  sluaga,  blia  =  bWadna,  bli  =  bliadain, 
cá  =  each,  ná  =  nach,  us  =  usee,  am  =  amail,  ami//,  sam  =  samaitte, 
math  =  mathair,  dá  =  dano,  di  =  d'xdiu,  didu,  im  =  immurgu,  etc., 
similarly  in  constantly  recurring  proper  names  such  as : 
Ait  =  Ail///,  A'úello,  Hér  =  Héretid,  Hérind,  Ech  =  Echaid, 
Ecbdack,  etc.,  or  phrases  such  as  those  in  '  Togail  Bruidne  Dá 
Derga.'  In  such  instances  italics  mark  the  expansion.  As  a 
syllable  symbol  b  =  ben,  ber,  bir ;  c  =  cer ;  d  =  der ;  f  =  for,  iur, 


INTRODUCTION  xxv 

and  Ur  (H) ;  g  =  gre,  ger ;  I  =  e\,  »1,  «/],  £<?z'l ;  m  =  men,  man  ; 
n  =  non,  n-  =  niw/ ;  p  =  pre  ;  s  =  s^  (Lat.  sed)  and  so  «^/ 
also  ses ;  t  =  tor,  t^r,  tz'r. 

— >  The  ;;/-stroke  indicating  omitted  in  when  over  a  vowel  or 
m,  n,  and  om,  tan  when  over  c,  m,  r,  s. 

«eiov  small  suprascript  letters  indicating  r  omitted  before 
the  vowel,  generally  found  over  c,  f,  g,  p,  t,  e.g.  :  cm,  en,  c^e, 
gra,  pri,  tra,  tre,  etc.,  over  /  the  i  as  a  rule  has  the  form  of  a 
pot-hook  with  hands  A,  M,  occasionally  also  with  H. 

'  The  ur  symbol,  attached  to  t,  g,  often  standing  for  the 
inflected  form  m'r. 

vv  The  suprascript  symbol  for  ur,  ru,  over  m,  c,  u,  etc. 

r  The  mark  of  aspiration,  =  k,  found  over  c,  p,  t.  Over  s,  /, 
a  point  takes  its  place,  originally  a  fitinctum  delens,  and 
occasionally  used  as  such.  The  point  is  also  frequently  used 
to  mark  eclipsing  n  or  ;;/. 

o  =  co,  con,  coin. 

3  =  us,  uis. 

4  4  =  ar,  air,  the  Latin  tachygram  for  quia,  which  Irish 
scribes  came  to  regard  as  a  +  the  r-stroke,  a  suprascript  i  being 
added  for  air 

7  =  ocus,  Latin  et,  and  several  times  indicates  final  et  (M.  H.). 
It  is  generally  joined  to  r  in  the  phrase  7?  =  et  reliqua, 
occasionally  to  f  (H). 

p-  =  per  in  'imper'  (H). 

Latin  Abbreviations. — The  following  list  may  be  found 
useful : —

FACSIMILE. — The  Facsimile  edition  issued  by  the  Academy 
was  due  to  the  initiative  of  Mr.  (afterwards  Sir)  John  Gilbert, 
the  well-known  archivist.  In  an  unpublished  letter  to  Whitley 
Stokes,  then  in  India,  dated  28th  April,  1869,  Gilbert  writes: 
"  The  loss  of  O'Donovan  and  Curry,  and  the  weakness  of 
Dr.  Todd,  have  seriously  interfered  with  publications  in  the 
Irish  language,  and  after  a  good  deal  of  practical  experience,  I 
have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  our  best  work  would  be  to 
print  some  of  our  oldest  texts  accurately  from  the  MSS.,  but 
without  translations  or  annotations.  We  have  fortunately  at 
the  Academy  the  best  Irish  penman  living,  Mr.  O'Longan,  and 
I  have  for  some  time  past  been  anxious  to  bring  his  talents  to 
a  practical  bearing  in  the  shape  of  lithographic  writing,  and 
have  succeeded  so  far  as  to  have  already  some  pages  of  Leabhar 
na  Huidhre  on  the  stone,  of  which  I  shall  send  you  proofs  as 
soon  as  possible.  The  copy  is  made  in  the  most  careful  manner 
by  O'Longan,  and  before  being  transferred  to  the  stone  every 

line  and  letter  on  the  page  is  checked  over  by  Mr.  O'Looney 

I  hope  you  will  approve  of  the  plan,  and  at  all  events  give  me 
credit  for  trying  to  do  the  best  under  adverse  circumstances." 

The  edition  appeared  at  the  end  of  1870,  with  a  preface 
signed  by  Gilbert,  and  a  description  of  the  MS.  and  its  contents 
adapted  from  O'Curry's  Catalogue.  The  object  was  to  re- 
produce the  written  page  in  its  integrity,  letter  for  letter, 
line  for  line,  admitting  no  conjectural  restorations,  lost  or 
illegible  letters  and  passages  'being  indicated  by  equivalent 
spaces  within  square  brackets.  The  initial  and  ornamental 
letters  were  engraved  from  tracings.  In  addition,  two  pages  of 
the  lithographed  transcript  were  tinted  and  reproduced  in 
colours  with  the  object  of  exhibiting  the  style  and  present 
appearance  of  the  MS.  These,  it  must  be  said,  are  most 
deceptive,  having  almost  the  appearance  of  photographs,  and 
have  indeed   been   mistaken  for   such,  thus  conveying  a  false 


INTRODUCTION  xxxix 

impression  as  to  the  fidelity  of  the  reproduction.  The  defect  of 
the  Facsimile,  which  met  with  severe  and  unmerited  criticism 
from  Whitley  Stokes,1  resides  not  so  much  in  errors  of  tran- 
scription or  failures  to  decipher,  which,  considering  the  condition 
of  the  MS.  and  the  difficulty  of  the  text,  are  not  too  numerous — 
less  indeed  than  would  have  been  made  by  most  learned  editors 
of  the  day—as  in  the  method  of  reproduction  itself.  At  its  best 
it  is  but  a  crude  attempt  to  portray  the  original,  giving  to  it  a 
homogeneity  which  it  does  not  possess,  though  the  facsimilist 
must  have  been  sensible  of  the  great  variety  of  the  script,  for  in 
places  he  did  his  best  to  imitate  the  general  appearance  of  the 
page,  though  he  could  not  reproduce  the  letter  forms.  Notwith- 
standing its  obvious  imperfections,  the  Facsimile  has  been  of 
great  service  to  scholarship,  as  also  the  other  two  executed  by 
the  same  scribe,  namely,  Leabhar  Breacc,  1872-6,  and  the  Book 
of  Leinster,  1880. 

We  have  indicated  the  uncorrected  misreadings  of  the 
Facsimile  in  the  foot-notes,  not  in  any  disparagement  of  the 
work  of  O'Longan,  for  whom  both  as  copyist  and  calligrapher 
we  have  the  greatest  respect,  but  solely  to  remove  any  doubt 
that  might  be  entertained  as  to  the  true  reading  of  the 
manuscript.

Edition. — When  the  present  edition  was  planned,  it  was  not 
judged  advisable  to  attempt  a  diplomatic  reproduction  with  the 
aid  of  special  types,  or  to  indicate  obscure  letters  by  pointing  or 
undermarking,  as  employed  in  certain  works  of  a  similar 
character.  We  have  acted  on  the  principle  that  if  a  letter  can 
be  read  at  all,  it  should  be  printed  in  the  text  in  the  ordinary 
way.  Obscure  and  doubtful  readings  are  noted  at  the  foot  of 
the  page.  Any  attempt  short  of  photography  is  rarely  success- 
ful in  conveying  a  true  impression  of  the  written  page.  With 
Lebor  na  Huidre  it  was  less  necessary  to  have  recourse  to  a 
typographical  facsimile,  as  the  lithographic  Facsimile  of  1870 
can  still  be  referred  to  if  fuller  information  is  desired  as  to 
graphic  forms  or  the  disposition  of  the  text.  The  various 
hands  are  however  indicated  by  different  founts :  A,  pica ; 
M,  small  pica,  and  H,  long  primer  within  brackets. 

The  aim  has  been  to  produce  an  accurate  and  readable 
transcript.  Words  written  continuously  have  been  separated  as 
specified  below.  Capitals  have  been  introduced  for  proper 
names,  but  not  to  mark  the  beginning  of  sentences,  unless  in 
the  manuscript.  Large  capitals,  often  used  out  of  place,  are 
not  reproduced,  nor  double  capitals  IS,  IN,  etc.,  with  which 
the  beginning  of  a  sentence  is  often  indicated  in  Irish  MSS. 

Marginal  and  interlinear  scholia  are  printed  under  the  text, 
and  the  hand  indicated.  An  exception  has  been  made  of  the 
two  precatory  entries,  which  because  of  their  importance  are 
printed,  perhaps  injudiciously,  as  part  of  the  text  (11.  2764-82). 

The  punctuation  of  the  original  has  on  the  other  hand  been 
strictly  adhered  to,  as  it  affects  the  sense  of  a  passage,  and 
represents  the  interpretation  of  the  scribe.  Where  a  point  (the 
sole  punctuation  used)  is  omitted  at  the  end  of  a  sentence,  a 
slight  space  has  been  inserted  for  convenience  sake,  and  similarly 
paragraphs  have  been  introduced. 

The  expansion  of  abbreviations  has  only  been  indicated  by 
italics  when  points  of  grammar  or  orthography  were  involved, 
particularly  in  terminations.  Where  no  such  question  could 
arise,  as  in  single  letter-strokes,  k,  vi,  n,  syllable-strokes  for  ar, 
er,  en,  the  symbols  for  ar,  air,  etc.,  the  extension  has  been  silent. 
A   profusion  of  italics  in    such   instances    serves   no    scientific 


INTRODUCTION  xli 

purpose,  and  merely  makes  difficult  reading.  On  the  other 
hand  the  symbols  for  con,  ur,  us,  are  indicated  by  italics  when 
representing  inflected  forms.  Certain  words  almost  invariably 
abbreviated  are  left  unextended,  as  their  form  varies  according 
to  period,  e.g. :  7,  dl,  irh,  which  might  stand  for  ocus,  acus, 
didiu,  didu,  immurgu,  immorro.  It  was  not  our  purpose  to 
establish  a  particular  form.  Also  .i.  =  ed  on  (Lat.  id  est), 
,r.  =  retoiric,  l.r.  (p.  91),  í  =  nó  (Lat.  uel),  z  (p.  86)  =  Zj\rti  or 
Zi]ti]tíov  (cp.  Lib.  Ardm.  f.  23  v  et  passim)  ;  further  the  symbol 

t  (PP-  13,  35)- 

The  hyphen  is  used  to  separate  transported  n  and  t  from 
initial  vowels — a  n-olc,  in  t-ara,  but  this  is  not  needed  before  a 
capital,  hence  i  nEre.  The  apostrophe  is  used  to  denote  elision 
in  d'  =  do  or  di ;  similarly  with  the  possessives  m\  f  (tá'), 
and  when  initial  a  {6  Hbath,  6  ,tchon?iaic)  or  i  (co  'mmáro- 
marbtha  8085)  is  elided.  The  frequent  omission  of  f  is  not 
noted.  No  letter  is  added  to  the  text  except  [n],  when  the 
«-stroke  is  omitted,  and  to  this  attention  is  always  drawn  in  a 
foot-note. 

Only  accents  legible  in  the  MS.  are  given.  But  besides  the 
well  marked  accents,  as  clear  as  the  rest  of  the  text,  there  are 
many  faint  thin  lines,  often  hard  to  distinguish  from  scratches 
on  the  vellum.  In  dealing  with  these  we  have  been  guided  by 
probability.  In  the  MS.  the  accent  is  often  written  apart  from 
the  vowel  to  which  it  belongs,  generally  over  the  following  letter. 
When  the  latter  is  a  vowel  some  editors  print  e.g.  cidn,  but  this 
cannot  be  done  when  the  accent  is  over  a  consonant,  as  in  Ur, 
with  accent  over  the  r.  Frequently  the  accent  is  quite  out  of 
place,  as  if  inserted  carelessly  after  the  line  had  been  completed. 
For  example,  do  dcnam  443,  dódenám  MS. ;  hi  rét  461,  hiret  MS. 
In  line  134,  here  printed  Slc'ib  Sina  7  is  e  ro  scrib  cona  Idim  fein, 
the  scribe  has  put  the  first  accent  over  the  s  and  the  second  over 
the  b  of  sleib,  the  third  over  the  sc  of  scrib,  and  the  fourth  over 
the  a  of  cona.  The  principle  we  have  adopted  is  to  put  the 
accent  over  the  vowel  to  which  it  belongs.  We  have  put  it  over 
the  first  vowel  of  the  diphthongs  de,  óe,  ía(i'),  íu(i),  and  úa(i) ; 
but  over  the  second  vowel  of  the  diphthongs  at,  ol,  id,  which  are 
thus  conveniently  distinguished  from  d,  6,  u,  followed  by  a  palatal 
consonant.  The  difficulty  in  the  case  of  eo  is  that  during  the 
Middle  Irish  period  the  stress  appears  to  have  shifted  to  the  0 ;

xlii  INTRODUCTION 

here  we  have  endeavoured  to  follow  the  varying  usage  of  the 
scribes. 

Proclitics  are  separated  from  following  words,  e.g.  preposi- 
tions, articles,  and  possessive  pronouns  from  nouns  ;  negatives, 
conjunctions,  and  the  particles  no  and  ro  from  verbs,  but  not  the 
first  element  of  verbs  in  deuterotonic  form,  hence  no  gcbad,  ro 
chuir,  but  dobeir,  damberat,  and  similarly  rofetammar.  Combi- 
nations of  proclitics  are  left  undivided — don,  isind,  ara,  conct,  nos 
cuir,  dianom  thisad,  cor  imthig  (but  co  rrdnic),  nochonom  thd  ;  so 
forms  of  the  copula,  rop,  roptar,  robadam,  combo  (but  co  mbol,  etc., 
for  the  substantive  verb). 

However,  certain  combinations  beginning  with  a  proclitic  are 
retained,  such  as  indechtsa,  hifesta,  indossa,  indiu,  indé,  inso, 
insin,  ani,  afrithisi,  aridisi,  etc.  (but  ar  frithise  4509,  alaile, 
diarailiu,  friaraili  (but  co  alaile  8334). 

Enclitics  are  commonly  joined  to  the  preceding  word — 
damsa,  a  bensom.  Somewhat  inconsistently  the  demonstratives 
are  separated  in  a  lid  sin,  in  molad  sa,  etc.,  and  the  anaphoric 
side,  attached  to  pronouns  and  verbs— dibside,  tncside,  has  been 
separated  from  nouns — a  hainm  side,  dia  sil  side,  etc.  In  iar 
sin,  and  sin,  etc.,  sin  is,  of  course,  stressed. 

In  the  obscure  passages  called  retorics  the  division  of  words 
is  often  a  matter  of  conjecture. 

In  the  preparation  of  the  text,  resumed  at  long  intervals 
often,  a  certain  inconsistency  in  the  extension  of  abbreviations, 
separation  of  words,  accentuation,  use  of  capitals,  etc.,  was 
almost  inevitable.  The  following  inadvertent  departures  from 
the  general  practice  outlined  above  should  be  noted  :

DESCRIPTION   OF   PLATES. 

PL  I.  Page  55.  Opening  page  of  Táin  Bó  Cúailnge.  Handwriting  of 
A  with  interpolation  by  H  and  corr.  M  (col.  b.  11-13).  See  p.  143.  This 
page  is  much  faded  in  places,  and  the  stiff  and  wrinkled  membrane  with 
its  polished  surface  resists  all  attempts  to  obtain  a  legible  reproduction. 
The  firobatio  fiennae  mail  7iniri  mc  mc  cuind  can  be  discerned  above 
the  word  duib,  col.  b,  line  1  ;  cuiwd  is  faintly  traceable  in  the  negative,  but 
the  membrane  is  stained,  due,  perhaps,  to  the  use  of  a  re-agent.  The  title, 
only  partly  traceable  here,  appears  to  be  in  the  hand  of  M,  the  line  having 
been  left  blank  by  A.  Cp.  7b4i,  and  p.  5,  where  the  Amra  begins  without 
title,  the  first  line  being  filled  by  a  quatrain  in  the  hand  of  M.  M  would 
seem  to  have  begun  to  transcribe  at  the  end  of  col.  b,  when  he  added  the 
title  and  his  firobatio  fte?inae,  H  afterwards  erasing  what  he  wrote. 

PI.  IT.  Page  70.  Táin  Bó  Cúailnge.  Handwriting  of  M  with  inter- 
polation by  H  (col.  b).  The  interpolated  portion  is  written  over  a  washed 
and  abraded  surface,  the  ink  appearing  somewhat  paler  than  the  rest  of  the 
page.  There  is  evidence  of  retracing  on  this  page.  Note  in  col.  a,  last 
line  but  one,  the  r  of  resi;/.  The  probatio  fiennae  on  the  upper  margin 
was  evidently  written  after  the  invocation  Oémat  (O  Emanuel),  which  is 
in  darker  ink,  as  if  retraced.  Observe  through  the  natural  hole  in  the 
membrane,  col.  a,  the  ess  of  preceding  leaf,  which  is  in  the  handwriting 
of  M,  but  the  head,  in  paler  ink,  has  been  added  later  to  the  first  s.
