PREFATORY NOTE. 

The luni-solar criteria employed in the following 
pages, and Tables i.| m., iv.,y., tii.| vnL, ix., of Lec- 
ture IV. belong to the Old Style, which was super- 
seded in 1582 by the Calendar of Aloysius Lilius, 
commonly designated the Gregorian. 

The numbering, sectional distribution and letter- 
ing of the texts are an arbitrary arrangement for the 
purpose of reference. 

After Lecture II. had gone to press, I learned 
that the metric tracts in the Book of Ballymote were 
published, without a translation, by Prof. Thumeysen: 
this transcript I have not read.

CRRATION OF HEAVEN: CREATION, FALL AND PENANCE 

OF ADAM AND EVE. 

(JVom Lbbak Brbc.) 

DXJRINO the Thiity-yean' War, after Mayimilian of Bavaria 
gained tbe battle of Prague over Ferdinand of Bohemia, 
the Palatinate was occupied hy the Imperial troops. Two years 
later, Heidelberg, the capital, was captured. The collection of 
MSS. in the Library was forwarded to Pope Gregory XY. in the 
year following. By him the donation was deposited in the Vatican. 
In the Catalogue it is denoted the PaUitne. In 1816, most of 
tbe MSS. were restored by order of Pope Pius VII. Amongst those 
retained is a thick TeUum quarto, bound in boards and covered with 
red velvet. It bears the number 830. On the inside of the cover is 
pasted a printed note which reads as follows : — 

Sum de bibliotheca quam, Hiedelberga capta, spolium fecit et 
P. M. Gregorio XV. trophaeum misit Maximilianus, utriusque 
Bavariae Dux, S. R. I. Archidapifer et Princeps Elector. Anno 
Christi CIo.Io.CXXin [1623]. 

On the first folio is written: ItU Uher pertinet ad Librartam 
8. Martini^ MoguniUe^ 1479. How it passed from that monastery 
to Heidelberg, we have no means of determining. The volume 
contains the well-known Tripartite Chronicle of our countryman, 
Marianus Scotus. During the time that I worked in the Vatican 
Library, I took occasion to go carefully more than once through the 
entire Codex. In setting forth the results, I shall deal first with 
what is known of the Compiler; next, with the contents and 
characteristics of the KS. ; thirdly, with the entries that throw

light upon penons and eventa of domestic interest; finally, with the 
text and lingnistio value of the native items. 

Respecting Marionus, all the known facts connected with his 
life, save one^ have been put on record by himself and in his own 
handw^ting. An instance of being one's own biographer and ama- 
nuensis is unique, as far as I am aware, in our native literature. 
As such, some interest attaches thereto. He was called in Irish 
Mul BrigU (Calvus Brigitae), d$9Qim of Brifil^ the national patroness. 
The name Marianus {dwaUe o/Mmy) was doubtless given on the ooca- 
sion of his becoming a monk on the Continent. He was bom in 1028.* 
Of his parentage or tribe he has left no mention. That he belonged 
to the hal/rf Conn — to use the term retained by himself — that is, the 
northern half, can be inferred from the fact that he gives a Catalogue 
of the Irish kings who sprang from that moiety of Ireland. 

In 1052, at the age of twenty-four, he abandoned the world :f 
most probably entering the monastery of MoviUc, Co. Down. The 
establishment was then presided over by Tigemach of Moume, who 
died in 1061. Four years later, he became a pilgrim ; went over ses 
and arrived at Cologne, as he is careful to note, upon Thursday, August 
1, 1056.| That the expatriation was not of his own seeking can be 
plainly deduced from an entry in the Chronicle, under date 1048. 
Recording the death of an incluse in the monastery of Fulda, he says 
the deceased had been a religious of Innisceltra (in the Shannon). 
For having, however, given a drink to some brethren without per- 
mission, he was banished by his superior, Corcran {oh. a.d. 1040), not 
alone from the Community, but from Ireland. A similar senteece, he 
adds, was pronounced upon himself by Tigemach, for some slight 
fault not stated.§ 

Why he wended his way to Cologne we leam from some of his 
entries. In 975, Archbishop Eberg donated the abbey of St. Martin 
in that city to the Irish monks. The obits of four of the superiors 
are recorded. As will be seen, however, the years of their respective 
incumbencies as given in the text cannot be reconciled with the 
marginal dates. The sum of the former erroneously falls short by 
twenty years of the latter. The error (of transcription) occurs in 
reference to Elias (so called on the Continent from the partial simi- 

• Note A. t Note B. % Note G. { Note D.

of tbe name to the ni^re Ailill). This we learn from the 
Annala of Ulster, which agree with Marianas respecting the year of 
his ohit.* In this community, becoming a monk, he remained for 
close upon two years. 

In connexion herewith, it will not be out of place to describe the 
salient featnres of the profession to which the remainder of his career 
was devoted. Inclusion, in the technical sense, was a phase of 
monachism which never made its appearance in Ireland. It origi- 
nated on the Continent, in conjunction with the Benedictine monas- 
teries. Thereby an effort was made to unite the active life of the 
eenobites with the contemplative existence of the anchorites. In- 
duses, that is to say, were more restricted than monks and less 
isolated than hermits. Their existence, it mi(y be concluded, was 
owing to a desire on the part of the Church authorities to utilize as 
teachers and spiritual directors men whose lives were solely devoted 
to study and prayer. 

A Bsgula Mitmriorwm^ in sixty-nine chapters, has been preserved.! 
It was the composition of a monk called Orimlaicus, who dedicated 
the compilation to his namesake, a priest. The latter, Mabillon con- 
jectures, lived at the papal Court during the pontificate of FormOsus 
(A.n. 891-6). The date, accordingly, falls within the second half of 
the ninth century. From this Kule it will suffice to mention such 
portions as are pertinent to the life and literary labours of ICarianus. 
The abode of the induse consisted of a cell, an oratory and small 
garden : the whole surrounded by a high wall. Outside the precincts 
were ceUs for disciples who were instructed by the solitary and 
supplied him with necessaries through an opening. The oratory lay 
so contiguous to the monastery church, as that the occupant could hear 
the reading and join the brethren in psalmody through the aperture. 
Postulants were selected from those most distinguished for piety 
and learning. Foreigners had to come provided with commendatory 
letters, signed by the bishop or abbot. The period of probation was 
two years. The ceremony of inclusion consisted of the selected 
brother prostrating before the bishop and community and reciting 
a formula of perseverance. On rising, he was inducted into the cell. 
The doorway was then built up and sealed by the officiating bishop

with the epiBOopal signet. Thencefonrard the solitary was not to 
issue, ezoept by command of lawful superiors, or upon occasion of 
unaroidable necessity. Of the latter we have an instance in the 
burning of Paderbora, when an Irish induse refused to come forth 
from the cell to save his life. 

The work*a-day routine consisted of derotional practices, advising 
such as came for instruction and teaching the pupils. These duties 
alternated with manual labour and recreation. Sundays and festivals 
were devoted exclusively to religious and studious exercises. Daily 
celebration of Mass was, however, left discretionary. Knowledge of 
Scripture and the Canons was prescribed, in order to be enabled to 
counsel persons differing in age, sex and profession. Erudition 
sui&cient to confute Jews and heretics was to be acquired. As such 
opponents were not likely to come to hear, it follows that the incluse 
had to draw up written refutations. The library at his disposal must 
consequently have been of fair amplitude. i 

Of the furniture of the cell, incidental mention is made in the 
Chronicle of the maiia, or mattress. Bespecting burial, the Eule is 
silent. But from Marianus it can be collected that the body was 
deposited where death took place. He had a grave, which he was not 
destined to occupy, dug during his first enclosure. 

At Eastertide, a-d. 1058, Siegfried, Superior of Folds, visited the 
abbey of St. Martin. Whether by invitation or at his own request, 
Marianus accompanied him on returning, in order to become a recluse. 
On the Friday heiore Palm Sunday (April 10), an event had occurred 
which naturally excited great interest, especially amongst the Irish 
inmates, in continental monasteries. The episcopal city of Paderbom, 
in Westphalia, with its two abbeys, was burned to the ground. In 
one of them an Irishman, named Pademus, had lived an incluse 
for a number of years. He had foretold the catastrophe and, when 
his prediction came true, refused to leave the enclosure, losing his life 
in consequence. Marianus adds that he was regarded as a martyr. 
Wherefore Siegfried and his companion went northwards out of their 
way to visit the scene. On the Monday after Low Sunday, the 27th 
of the same month, Marianus informs us that he prayed on the 
mattress from which his countryman had passed to his rest.*

Within a year, <m ICidlent Satnxday (t .#. the Saturday before the 
foorth Sunday of Lent), March 18, 1059, Marianas was promoted to 
the priesthood. This took place, he tells us, at Wurtsburg, in the 
chnroh containing the body of St. Kilian, the Irish martyr-apostle of 
Franconia. Herein we have a circnmstanoe that deserves to be noted. 
Gontraiy to the custom that prevailed in Ireland, the oommnnity of 
Folda had no bishop-monk for the performance of episcopal fonctions. 
Otherwise, a candidate for endosnre wonld not have been sent else- 
where to receive Holy Orders. Being thus ordained, Marianne became 
a professed indnse, on the Friday after the festival of the Ascension 
(May 14). The cell had probably been vacant since the death of 
Animchad, whose name snf&ciently denotes his nationality, sixteen 
years provionsly.* 

A decade having passed and Siegfried having been meanwhile 
appointed to the see of Mayence, Marianus, by order of the bishop (by 
whom he was evidently appreciated), with the consent of the new 
abbot, was conducted to that episcopal city. He arrived thero, he 
does not fail to note, on the Friday beforo Palm Sunday, April 3 
(1069). On Friday, the tenth of the following July, the feast of the 
Seven Brothers, Martyrs, the oratory of the inclusory of St. Martin 
was dedicated in honour of the Apostle St. Bartholomew. Immediately 
after the ceremony, Marianus was enclosed for the second time.f 
Here he lived thirteen years and died in 1082, at the age of fifty-four.| 

Bespecting the contents and characteristics, the MS. consists of 
170 folios. Of these, the matter of the first twenty-four (folio 25 is 
blank) has no necessary connexion with what is contained in the re- 
mainder. It was prefixed, partly as being the work of the Compiler § 
and partly as being made up of illustrative and cognate material. The 
chief items are nineteen Solar Cycles of 28 « the Bionydan (so-called) 
Great Paschal Cycle of 532 (fol. 1-3) ; three "Emendations" of the 
Vulgar Era,— one, a rearrangement of the consular series from Lentulus 
and Messalinus to a. n. 532 ; another taken from St. Jerome ; the third, 
from the Roman Martyrology, Passions of Popes and Decretal Epistles 
(fol. 4-13) ; a list of native kings (fol. 15) ; a catalogue of Popes from

with a historical event attached to each year (fol. 18-24). Some of 
these entries are strangely inaccurate. For instance, Elias, Abbot 
of Cologne, is said to have died jljd. 1012 (« 990). The true year 
(Bote E (a, b) ) was 1042. The slaying of Brian Boru is assigned to 
1029 (- 1007). In the Third Book of the Chronicle, we find correctly

In this Prologue^ Marianus professes to have discovered, **with 
gteat labour,'' partly from authority and partly from reason, why [in 
assigning Easter to March 28, moon 21] the thirty-fifth year of the 
(five) Dionysian Cycles (« the Passion year, a.d. 34) is opposed to 
Scripture and the Church, which, according to Marianus, place the 
Resurrection on March 27, moon 17. 

His proofs will be considered later on.

The chapters number 22. Three of them are noteworthy. The 
first is : De dUputatumc Dionisii Exigvi ntpra Pamanem $t Beiume-

TXionysius prefixed in explanation of his five Paschal Cycles. The

4^gumentatae et inquieitae (sic) a eapite mundi. 

These are the longer recension of the SpieUe of Tkeophilue, or the 
spurious Aete of the Council of Caeearea, which imposed upon Bede 
(De temp, rat., xkii)^ as well as upon Marianus. Owing no doubt to 
the misleading diction of the headings, the present transcript escaped 
the notice of the latest editor of the forgery.*

Of the foregoing, the Third Book has been edited by Waitz, in the ^>^^. 
Menumenta Germaniae Sistoriea of Fertz {Seripiorum tam. v.).^ It 
was reprinted in Migne's Patrelogia (torn, cxlvii.). A notable, in fact a 
fundamental, characteiistic of the Chronicle, as may be seen in the 
edition of Waitz, is that the reckoning of Marianus differs by 22 
from the Vulgar Era. On the left are placed his own ; on the right, 
what he calls the Dionysian years. The method of arriving at this 
conclusion is explained in the Inquiry on folios 26, 27 and at greater 
length in his Second Book. 

First {Lib. IL^ cap. xii,\ he follows Bede {Ik temp, rai., cap. 
xlvii.) in fixing the Resurrection in the 34th year of our Lord, March 
27, moon 17. In the first of the Decemnoyennal Cycles written by 
DiunysiuB, this Easter occurs in the 1 3th year, namely a.d. 544. It

consequently belongs to the previous 532nd year, which is likewise 
No. 13 in the Cycle of 19. ▲.&. 12 should accordingly be a.b. 34. 

Bede had already applied the same principle in a different way. 
Since a.d. 566, according to Dionysius, has the Paschal criteria of ▲.n. 
34, he ironically bids you thank God, if, upon opening the Bionysian 
Cycles, you find moon 14 on Thursday, March 24 and Easter on 
March 27, moon 17, assigned to 566.* (The year in question has the 
14th of the moon on Sunday, March 21 and Easter, as already 
observed, <m March 28, moon 21). But to point out a defect is easier 
than to supply the remedy. Bede propounded no solution himself. 
Plurimwm churwUut, nikU lucU infiML\ 

Whether Bede and Marianus were right or wrong, or partly right 
and partly wrong, respecting the Besurrection, is irrelevant in this 
place. For, beyond prefixing its years to his cycles and giving rules 
for finding the cyclic (Golden) number of a given a-d. year, Dionysius 
had demonstrably nothing to do with determining the Vulgar Era. St. 
Cyril of Alexandria wrote five Paschal Cycles, from the 153rd to the 
247th of Diocletian (▲.n. 437-531). Commencing with the 248th, 
Dionysius wrote five more (a.d. 532-626). For the reasons set forth 
in his Preface,! ^^ continuator substituted the years of the Incar- 
nation for those of Diocletian. 

To render his work of any practical utility, St. Cyril must have 
had a Beckoning showing the ferial incidence and bissextile position 
of the 153rd of Diocletian. To construct a Cycle irrespective of the 
two main elements of the Paschal lunisolar computation were to labour

10 Tain. The fatility of an attempt of the kind is proved oondnsiTely 
hy the spurious Anatolios.* A genuine Easter Compntos, in fact, 
presupposes an Era. Now, the requisite solar oriteria of the opening 
year of St. Cyril can be found only by referenoe, to the Vulgar 
Beckoning. Thereby we get ▲.n. 437 ; first after Bissextile; Domi- 
nical Letter C. Applying the Alexandrine Epact (9 ■ Golden number 
I), the result is Easter upon April 11. 

This fundamental principle will carry us biiher. Theophilus, the 
predecessor of St Cyril, composed a (lost) Paschal Table of 100 years, 
from the fifth consulship of Oratian. In 457, Yictorius of Aquitaine 
published his discovery, the Great Paschal Cycle (the solar of 28 x the 
lunar of 19). That the solar basis of these two dissimilar works was 
the Vulgar Era, is shown, to give but one proof, in a note appended to 
the Ley den transcript of the Prologue of Theophilus. In the first year, 
we are told, March 1 was Sunday, moon 9 and Easter was April 12, 
moon 21 : that is, in the 380th from the Licamation and the 353rd of 
Viotorins.t The sole due to this is the Common Computation. ▲ j>. 
380 is therein Bissextile, with the Dominical letters E D. March 1 
thus coincided with Sunday. With respect to the Epact, in the Alex- 
andrine Cycle the year is the same as 437, Golden Number I. The 
different ferial incidence, however, alters the Paschal recuirence noted 
above by a day. 

With regard to Victorius, the same Computation proves that his 
Cycle began (proleptically) with a.d. 28, to which year he (erroneously) 
assigned the Passion. Hence, to equate his numeration with the a.d., 
we have, as the Leyden computist rightly calculates, to add thereto the 
27 Licamation years which he omitted. In this way we get 353 a a.d. 
380. The Epact is 9 (Victorian Golden Number XI - Alexandrine I), 
which, in connexion with D, gives the Easter of Theophilus. 

Now, the Cycle of Victorius was a modification of the lunar portion 
of the Cycle of 84, the solar criteria of the prototype being preserved

in their inte^tj. The Vulgar Era is thus carried up to a.d. 46, 
the initial year of the Paschal Cycles and Tables of 84. The five 
DecemnoYennal Cycles of Dionysius, it accordingly follows^ contain 
no data for rectifying error in the Vulgar a.d. Era. 

The 22 years in question Marianus next professes (Xf>. 11.^ ^ap, 
xviiuj »w,) to find in the regnal years, months and days (as given by 
Bede) of the Eoman Emperors, from the 15th of Tiberius to ▲.]>. 708, 
the date employed in Bede's Tract De Umporihu {cap. xiv.) to ex- 
emplify the rule for finding the Incarnation year. But the uncertain 
character of such a calculation is strikingly exhibited in the following 
typical examples, in which Marianus differs from Bede and, what is 
of more significance, both are at variance with a far higher authority, 
the Imptria CaeMrum of the fourth century. 

(a) Marianus.* (i) Bede.f (c) Imper. Caes.| 

Caligula, I 4 y., 10 m., 8 d. | 3 y., 10 m., 8 d. I 8 y., 8 m., 12 d. 
Claudius, i 14 y., 8m.,§28d. I 18 y., 7 m., 28d. I 13 y., 8 m., 27 d. 

In addition, the sum of the months and days of (a) is, according to 
Marianus, one year, five months and thirty-six days ! I 

The system constructed with such labour is thus seen to be with- 
out foundation. 

The caligraphy is an uncial minuscule with capitals of the same 
class. The execution (of which no fair opinion can be formed from 
the imitations given in the edition of Waitz) is fully equal to that of 
any coeval MS. which I have examined, either in fac-simile or in the 
original. In some parts, the writing is done in columns ; but in the 
greater portion it has, most inconveniently, been carried across the 
page. There are forty lines in each column or page. A. compara-

tiTely rare featore, in works of the kind, is the insertion of pictures 
and a diagram explanatoiy of the text. 

Folio 37 a. Nearly one-half of the columii is occupied with two 
illustrationsi placed side hy side, respectively representing the Fall 
and the Bedemption. In that to the left of the reader, the tree with 
leaves and fruit stands in the centre. Entwined round the trunk 
appears the serpent, with a yellow apple in its mouth. On the left 
(of the spectator), stands a figure superscrihed Adam. At his feet 
flows a fountain, with /out written overhead. On the right we have 
Eve, her left hand holding an apple, the right presenting a larger 
one to Adam. He has his left raised in the act of refusing, whilst 
the light is placed upon the tree.* 

The picture in juxtaposition depicts the Crucifixion. Bather 
high over the hody is a tablet with Ihe. Nmarenm. The feet rest 
upon a board. Neither in them, nor in the hands, do nails appear. 
On your left is a figure with a nimbus inscribed 8. Maria. The left 
hand is placed on the mouth, the other points upward towards the 
cross. On the opposite side appears a second figure, the nimbus 
lettered 8. lohannu. The right hand rests on the mouth, with the 
left pointing up to the cross. 

Folio 103 a. Here are two representations, the Deposition and 
Crucifixion, one above the other. In the upper, Ifaria holds the left 
hand of the body — Joseph has his hands placed around the waist and 
united in front. Overhead is written Io$eph deponit eorpui. A third 
person holds a hammer in the right and with the left applies an 
instrument to the nail in the right foot, evidently intended to 
pourtray the act of extraction. 

In the lower, stands the Cross bearing the body, having at each 
side two figures respectively marked overhead Ifaria and lokannes. 

Folio 40 b. At the top of the second column, the following 
representation of the ark is drawn (see next page). The compart- 
ments have inscriptions which for convenience are here set forth 
(see next page). 

* One of the sculptared nichee in the western gable of the eleventh-oenturj 
ehunh of St. Deolsa, Ardmore, oo. Waterfozxl, has a xepresentation of the Fall, 
which, aa far as it goes, is identical in design with that of the Marianas Codex. 
In the centre is the Tree of Life, with the serpent ootled round the trunk. At 
either fide stand Adam and Eve.

copy the Ghroniole.* Boring the progrees of the work, on Thunday, 
Jane 28, of the year of hb arrival, he paused from hu copying to 
write the following note along the top margin of folio 38 a : —

to-day, Moel-Brigte, inoluse, in the indusory in Mayence, on the 
Thursday hefore the feast of Peter, in the first year of the [peni- 
tential] rule [imposed upon me], that is, in the year in which was 
killed Diarmait, king of Leinster : and this is the first year I came 
from Scotland on my pilgrimage. And I have written this book for 
loye for thee and the Scots all, that is, the Irish, because I am 
myself an Irishman. 

t)en t>le5ait>, the parchment shows at a glance, b a correction 
made by the writer. Of the original reading, all, except t>enn, was 
erased. Then, by prolonging the connecting stroke to the left and 
joining the down lines at foot, the second n was made into a t>. 
Next, an I was drawn, resting upon the upper right hand angle of the 
(second) b, and 05010 (with the e curved) was added on. The lection 
thus became t>enble5aib *• Oe in olesaib. 

An entry in the Chronicle enables us to fix with certainty the 
year in which the foregoing was written : a. d. 1094 [« 1072].

Diarmait, King of Leinster, was slain February 6, on Monday. 
That being leap-year and the Dominical Letters A O, February 6 
fell on Monday and June 29, the feast of SS. Peter and Paul, on 
Friday. The scribe and Marianus were, accordingly, correct in the 
notation of the year and days of the week. 

That his pilgrimage was not voluntary, the foregoing shows. 
To judge from a splenetic outburst that took place a calendar month 
later, hb temper, in all probability, was the cause of his banishment.

Perts. My examination has resulted in the discovery that the altera-

supplied rectifications of some of the published Latin and Irish read- 
ings and yielded additional native gleanings. 

The items of domestic interest fall, for convenience of treatment, 
into three divisicms, — ^hagiographic, linguistic and historicaL In 
dealing with these, I shall illustrate them in connexion with cognate 
material to be found in other authentic sources. 

I. — Of Irish Saints, but four are found mentioned with any 
detail in the Chronicle, — Patrick, Brigit, Columba and Colambanus. 
Respecting the first named, the following, in the hand-writing of the 
scribe, is given at the year 394 [» 372].

Somewhat dmilar statements are to be found in the scholia npon 
Fiac*s Hymn in the Franeisean copy of the LA$r Sfmmnm. Bat 
they seem to be nnhistorical and only prove that those who gave 
them cnrrency were not acquainted with the Cm/Miian of St Patrick. 
The dative, we are there informed, had no thought of escape until it 
was suggested by a voice in his sleep. Even then, he was not blind 
to the obstacles. The ship was some two hundred miles away. The 
seaport was unknown to him, nor had he any acquaintance there. 
This shows that he felt there was great risk of re-capture.* 

A. D. 424 [- 402]. The text contains :

■econd aentenoe, Uarianiis made alterations tliat are of special signi- 
fleanee. To nnderaUnd them, I reproduce the arrangement of the 
lines in the MS. : 

(7 a) Sanetui Patriciui, genere BriiUu^ a $ancto CiUtimo ptipa 
amiecrtUwr $t ad arekiepiieopatwm JUbememem, ubi iig* 
MM o^fM mirMUbm jfreHeam ioiam tmokun Sibermam 

In the first line, jmi I ijnum (referring to Palladius) was placed 
before Ssmeiui. Then, after Bthmmmuimf in line 2, mitUtwr was 
written overhead. A line of deletion expunged My. and pir tmnoi 
lx.o was added after M. Finally, in line 3, Marianus prefixed itg 
to MM. The reading thus became : — PoH ^itm Sanetut Pairieiui .... 
miiUiwr^ M per anno$ 9ixa§imia tignu . . . eonvertii ad Jtdem^ — new 
evidence in support of sixty years as the duration of the missionary 
life of St. Patrick in Ireland. 

Finally, at a.d. 513 [« 491], the text runs: 

(8) Smutm Patneiuij Sibemiae mMepueoputf amno exmi. heatii- 
•iwMfau Mil, Annantm xvi, vendtimr; rt. ohhom in urviiuU; sd. in 
Rommiie pmriAm^ b. Mmo$ in Jlibemia prediaiwi. 

The textual figures in (6) and (7 a) amount to 120, the received 
age of St. Patrick. They are in agreement with the marginal dating. 
Similarly, the total under a.d. 491 (8) corresponds with the items 
there given. No correction was made by Mazianus to bring the two 
sums into harmony. The discrepancy, which is trifling, occurs in 
determining the period between the liberation of St. Patrick, in his 
twenty-second year and the commencement of his mission in Ireland. 
That the time was of lengthened duration is proved by a passage in 
the Canfiitioj which, so far as I know, has hitherto been overlooked. 
The cause of his coming hither to preach the Gospel were the voices 
of those by the wood of Fochlut, which he heard in the house of his 
parents. According to the Book of Armaghf and as was to be 
expected, he journeyed to that locality soon (in the second year) 
after his arriyal in Ireland. The visit took place, he himself in*

The kernel was, douhtless, that she lived for thirty years after St. 
Patrick — a fact attested hy every authority of repute. As her death 
took place in, or ahout, 523 (Marianus being here likewise two years 
in advance), the theory that places the obit of the national apostle 
before a.b. 470 has no reliable basis. 

Beq>ectug St. Colnmbay four of the leading facts in his life have 
been recorded. Of these, the first and second were marginal addenda

Here the intervals are the same as in Adamnan, who states that

To settle the chronology, accordingly, it only requires to deter- 
mine the time of either the birth, the battle, or the death. As was 
to be expected, the data relative to the last are the fullest and most 
reliable. To deal adequately with those given in Adamnan would 
entail the discussion of questions lying outside the scope of the 
present Lecture. This becomes the less necessary, as certainty is 
attainable by methods more direct and equally conclusive. The choice,

Taken in connexion with 699, this atanza, aa it atanda, aaaigna 
the death of St Colnmba to 696 : an impoaaUe date, aa can be ahown 
indisputably. According to the Computation fonowed in lona, the 
Easter of 696 fell in March. But we have the Saint'a word that in 
the year wherein he was called to his reward Easter fell within April 
(In Paschali solemnitate nuper April! peracta mense.-:— Adamnan, ViU 
Col, ilL 28). This Paschal incidence belongs to 696 and 697. As Oi 
(two) would make the line a syllable short, we have consequently to 
read ceopa (three), which satisfies the scansion and, in addition, 
agrees with the solar data given above in referring the death of St. 
Colnmba to a.d. 696. The conclusion thus derived from independent 
and undesigned evidence is confirmed by the above quoted figures of 
Adamnan, which give the Saint an age of seventy-six years. 

In each of his three dates Marianus is accordingly three years in 
arrear. 

The year of the decease of St. Columba being thus established, 
we are enabled to correct, once for all, a calculation connected with

the adTent of St Patrick as miMioiiaiy. The wonder ia how anyone 
at all oonTemnt with natiTO chronological reckoning oonld hare been 
betrayed into an error so uncritical and misleading. Gilla Coemain, it 
18 asserted,* places the coming of St. Patrick 162 years before the 
death of Gregory the Great. Bnt that pope, as everyone is aware, died 
A.D. 604. Accordingly, St. Patrick's arrival must be fixed at a.d. 442. 
But, what is the fact? The versifier in question makes Colnmba 
and Gregory die in the same year.f Tet, with this before him, 
a recent editoif prints two notes, one under the other, the first 
giving the death of Columba in 692 ; the second, that of Gregory 
in 604. To the last he appends, with approval, the deduction just 
dealt with. How far Gilla Ooemain was justified in synchroniang 
the death of Gregory and the death of Columba, is beode the 
question. The fact that he did so is the foundation for any historical 
conclusion from this part of his poem. 

Of St. Columbanus we have but a meagre ritwmi of the principal 
events in his career. It is in the hand of the scribe :

The transcription displays mnch carelessness and, by oonse- 
qnence, cormption, especially in the vocalismna. Thus we have 
Qboim, Qboem, oloen; huil [» h[]^]uil]. In declension, the 
dative of a masculine lia-stem is made to end in (uipce), instead 
of ttf. (Cinpiub, dative of an «-stem, is given correctly.) The 
most glaring instance of the kindy however, is oeop for oeoip, 
where the omission of the letter destroys the rhyme and sense. 

With respect to the composition, the variants of lines 4 and 6 
go to prove that Marianns was the author and, furthermore, that he 
employed some of the proper names from memory. The sense, at least 
to me, is in part enigmatical. I have found the subject similarly 
treated in the text appended to this Lecture and in the following 
from a Tract on the Creation in the Book of Ballymote :|

boi — bae, b*eip — b'6p, Qboim — Qboem (gen), ppi[6]5nime— 
[p]pi[6]3nimi (gen. of masc. it-stem). On the other hand, pipli^i 
(gen. of masc. or neut. M-stem) of Marianus, not pipli^e of L. B., is 
the true reading. The errora in the transcription of the final words 
of the second distich arose from overlooking the fact that e and 1

These verses I have not succeeded in discoyering elsewhere. The 
variants of the third quatrain and the debased graphic forms may 
perhaps be taken as proofs that we have here the work of Mazianus 
himself. Against this is scarcely to be placed the fact that the 
numerals (104) of the opening line do not coxrespond vrith the sum of 
those in the second and third stanzas. The substitution of p6 (six) 
for C01C of the text («■ 124) would have removed the discrepancy. 
Three-fourths of the composition present serious coiruptions in almost 
every line.

Of some of these qnatniiiB there is eridenee to proye that ICarisnas 
was not the author. The seoond and third are foond in the JfM^^fV<# 
Gotpek^ a twelfth-eentary MS. of exquisite caligraphy in the British 
Museum (Harleian, 1802, folio 1 1 b, top margin).* They were inserted 
to illnsizate £aekel phrmts jUiot tuoi [Jer. *^^' 15] of MatL iL 18 : 
oonceming which expression the following is also given, with the 
heading Ag[M9tmui] ; BaelM plaram — quia trthui Bmiamm pens 
dsleia stt a toto lerad^ quae erai i$ eemim Eaekti^ propter eimpruM 
m uxarem Leoiiie eommietum. 

The referenoe is Judges xix.-xx. In the second Terse, the reading 
of Marianus makes the total of Jews slain 1 10,000 ! The Harleian 
reckoning falls 30 short of the true number. Coic has to be read as a 
dissyllable to satisfy the scansion. In the final quatrain, coic (five), 
in place of qii (three), is requisite to make the text correspond with 
the original (65,130). 

In transcription, the opening stanza, except the fourth line, which 
requires another syllable, is given accurately. In the portions occur- 
ring in both MSS., nine of the fourteen variants (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 
13, 14) establish the superiority of the later copy. Marianus, as was 
his wont, gave ae for ai in poOopbae and mnae of the two closing 
lines. 

In reference to the date of the composition of A, B, C, D, the 
depraved vocalismus and consonantismus of the Marianus Codex would 
at first sight lead the pieces to be classed under the so-called Middle- 
Irish. Here, however, an inference of the kind would be unwarranted. 
In the firat place, B and D, which are demonstrably copies and not 
originals, exhibit forms that are quite Zeussian in Zehar Bree and 
the Moel-BrigU GoepeU. Furthermore, instances of pronominal in-

We have, accordingly, to conclude that to determine the date of 
anthorship from the mere lingoistio phenomena of medieval Irish 
HS8. is uncritical and illusory. 

In oonnezion with A, I append a text from ZAmr Br§c, It gives 
the names of the *' sods'' from which the parts of Adam's body were 
formed, namely, Ifiiibfi, Arion^ Bihlcn and Ag^n, What these signify, 
I am unable to explain. The main interest of the Tract consists in 
its relation to SdtMrna Bmin. SMair na BMsm^m PidlUr 0/ V<tri$9^ 
so-called in imitation of the number of Psalms, is made up of one 
hundred and fifty, mostly short, poems in DAUe metre, amounting 
to 1947 quatrains. They deal with Old Testament inddeots, except 
<Ap., cxm., which treat respectively of John the Baptist and the 
Incarnation and gzuu-cl., which are devoted to the life of our Lord. 
The work, as far as our present knowledge extends, exists in its 
entirety only in one MS. (of the twelfth century), in the Bodleian 
Library, Oxford, Bawlinson B 502. From this it has been <« edited," 
that is, printed, with a meagre Index verborum, but without transla- 
tion, collation or explanatory notes, in the Anseivia OxmUetma.^ 

To show the radical imperfection of the publication, a note to the 
PreAuse informs us, with respect to No. I., that a prose abstract of 
part of the poem is to be found in the first volume of the Bnhan 
Lmw9^ pp. 26-30. Incredible as it seems, no use has been made of that 
material to clear up any of the many textual difficulties. Kay more, 
judging from the note and another statement in the Preface, the 
writer was unaware that what had been done in the Brehon Lawi in 
the case of sixty quatrains had been effected for more than eleven 
hundred in Zehar Bree. 

As regards the authorship, the title is followed by a statement 
that the Psalter was composed by Oengus Cele De. (He flourished 
at the close of the eighth century and the opening of the ninth and 
was the compiler of the well-known native rhymed Calendar (or 
Martyrology) called by his name.) This attribution may be well

fonner is in the total within three yean of that of EneeUns (who was 
known to Oengns) ;* that of the U^ter is bated upon the oomputation 
of the Septnagint. Furthermore, 6 > is one year in excess of 8 c — k^o, 
6 a and equally in arrear of the (correct) date (a.d. 988) deriyable 
from 60, whidi agrees with the Annals of Ulster. The h verses 
are thus disoorered to be interpolationSi— at yarianoe not alone with 
the original text, but likewise with the quatrain (6 c) introduced by 
the hand that inserted the other historical matter. 

The Zdar Br§c Tersion embodies, with the exoeptions pointed out 
in the textual BoteSi the contents of Nos. n., it., tx., vn., tzu., xx. 
and XI. of the PMUmr. The similarity of expression, too dose and 
too frequent to arise from coincidence, to which may perhaps be added 
the formula «/ iisii [fe«la], proves that the prose was a precis of the 
corresponding poems. If so, the abstract was made from a somewhat 
shorter recension and a better transcript than those of the Bodleian 
Codex. This is oonfinned, with regard to the form, by the vaxiants 
of No. X. 

The Yariants and Notes exhibit the data upon which the deduc- 
tions regarding the recension and the text have been based.

thiM [are] the doon of eaeh portico and f oar doonfrcmi them ont^ [a] 
^ [thet'ity one] from [eeeh] eztenud portico out towards the first bnl- 
waik(?). And a fsstening of silver [is] on" each door of those lawns and 
fastenings of bronze [are] npon the doors of the porticoes. The con- 
necting walls^ that are from the great wall out aroond the porticoeay 
their height equals [that] from earth to moon. Now, the wells'* of 
the lawns, they are made of copper and this is the measore of their 
height, namelj, from earth to son. The three walls'* also that are 
aronnd the chief citj, their height equals [that] from earth to firma- 
ment. The [relative] position'* of the wells around the dty [is this], 
to wit, a third each wall of them [is] beyond the other. Now, it is 
the high-king all-powerful that establishes those supports around the 
chief city and around the lawns and around the porticoes. 

b. Now, &re the hosts of the seed of Adam to attain each seat 
of those. However, each host of them is apart in their own porticoes

from the host outside and they are carried unto the great dty. And 
there goeth not into that dty except one-third of the people of the 
world : namely, the person with the ri^^teous gift of God and the 
pure person that^ kept his truth^ and the person of distinguished 
penance^. Moreover, the saints are separated in the diief dty : to 
wit, each of them over a chief door. Those doors also, [they are 
adonied] with figures and with predous stones and with fastenings of 
pure* gold. Three bnlwarks(?) to each door of those, and a bulwark(?) 
to each wall of them from that outwards. Now, the passages of those 
holy doors, they are delightful [and made] of pure* gold. Higher [is] 
each step than the other in them, until one reaches the chief fortress. 
Fair is the host that fares on that path over crystal platforms. Manj^ 
hundreds and many thousands of saints fare^ on that path, on crystal 
platforms and passages of pure* gold. There are therein lawns of bloom

IpradoB. And there U no one that oonld know thoee hoots, except the [c] 
king who made them from nothing. Now, is the noble high-king 
above them all, in his regal seat and in his regal position*. It is He 
that ordered over that host the chant of the fair four score and it is 
this they sing continually — Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. 
It is He also that ordered the beauteoas flock* of birdsP that is in^ 
heayen ; namely, that they sing a perfect song, without ceasing and 
that they be satiated with the fruit of the foliage. Beauteous, 
indeed, is that flock* of birdiP : namely, one hundred wings* upon 
each bird and one hundred melodies^^ in" each wing.** It is He also 
ordered the flock of the innocent lambs around the undeflled, faultless 
Lamb, to more upon the mountain : namely, forty and four thousand 
innocent^* lambs'* behind that Lamb, so that they sing a wondroua 
melody continuaUy, a-praising of the Lord. It is He, too, that 
ordered the choir of the virgins without defilement, so that they sing 
melody behind the Lamb pure-shining. And they [are] equally 
comely, equaUy swift on the mountain, behind the Lamb and the 
name** of their Father [is] written on* their countenances.

He, ** many troops of archangels and* give reyerence to Adam, to my 
own yeiy likeness." '' I will not give, indeed," said Lucifer, " re- 
yerence to Adam ; for I am senior and I am nobler than Adam and 
I will not place myself under the junior." Said the Lord unto him : 
** Tou shall not merit reverence with me, since you do not the will 
id Adam." But said Lucifer, through haughtiness and pride : ''I will 
be king myself," quoth he, "over many troops of angels and they will 
make submission to me and build my dwelling in the north-east of 
heaven, in a deep place and there shall not be another king over me."

West ; Aretos (^'Apffros), the North ; Mesemhria' (Mc<n7/A^/>ui), the 
South, as said (the poet) : 

Anstole, the East, etfterly ; 
Duns, the West, oppotita it ; 
Arotoe, the North, wretched, poor ; 
And Meaemhria, the South. 



These are the names of the four sods of which was made Adam : 
namely, Melon, Arton, Bihlon, Agore. Of Malon, to wit, his head ; of 
Alton, his hreast; of Bihlon, his belly; of Agore, his feet This is the 
first sight Adam saw after the putting of his soul into him, namely, 
the mountains of Pariath. And of the eighth upper rib of the breast 
of the right side of Adam was made Eve, so that she should be equal ^ 
to him. And this is the one sod of earth over which did not come 
the deluge, namely, Golgotha : that is, the middle point of the world 
in Jerusalem, to tipify that* Christ was to be crucified* [thereon] 
afterwards. Now, it is for this [reason] the body of Adam was made\ 
of the common earth, for it was known that it would be defiled and 
in order that afterwards the body of Mary should be made from the 
pure, undefiled land of Paradise and in order that from the body of 
Mary should be bom the body of Christ, according* to the truth of the 
holy Scripture and of the prophets and of the patriarchs besides. 
Howbeit, this is the name of the place in which was formed Adam, , 
namely, in the land of Damascus. And' he passed therefrom into 
Paradise. Kine months, indeed, from the time Adam received a soul 
until issued Etc from his side. And it is according to that precedent 
is every woman of her seed pregnant from that hither. It is then, 
indeed, spoke the Lord this precept to Adam and Eve together. 
'' Eat," said He, " all the fruits of Paradise, save one tree alone, that 
ye may know," said He, "that^ ye are^ under my sway and under my

(that i% the deyil) envied*^ Adam. [It was] certain to him [that] it [c] 
is Adam that would he taken into heaven in" his place". 

f. All the animals that possessed body and life, the Lord gave them 
in subjection to Adam and it is he that used to govern them. Now, 
the time the hosts of the seven heavens used to come unto the high- 
king, eveiy being in^ the world used also to come unto Adam, to honour 
him and to adore him and to delight him. It is the Lord indeed that 
used to compel them so that they used to be in sight of Paradise, out- 
side, in the nght of Adam. Each of them used to go afterwards to his 
dwelling, after paying respects to Adam. Now, was the devil a-thinking 
how he could deceive Adam. This, then, is the council that Lucifer 
found : namely, to go amidst the animals [that were] hard by 
Paradise, on the outside. So that then found he the serpent [suited 
to his intent] beyond every [other animaL] "It was not just 
indeed," quoth the devil to the serpent, '' to have thee outside for 
thy subtlety and for thy cunning. For great is the wrong," quoth 
he, " the younger of the beings to be honoured beyond thee and 
it were not a great crime to inflict destruction or temptation upon 
him ; for sooner wast thou begotten thyself than Adam and it were 
not right for thee to place thyself under the junior," quoth the 
devil to the serpent. ''Take my counsel," quoth he, ''and make 
we covenant and friendship and go thou not to* wait on Adam' and 
give a place to me in thy body, that we may go, both' of us*, unto 
Eve and enjoin upon her to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree, 
so that Eve may enjoin the same upon Adam afterwards. And 
thereby^ shall they transgress the command of their master and God* 
will not love them' after that and they shall be driven from out 
Paradise afterwards." " What reward, now," quoth the serpent, 
" is there for me on account of that, namely, co-dwelling for thee 
in my body to destroy Eve^ and Adam'?" "There shall be for 
thee, indeed," quoth the devil, " [this] namely, our being named 
together, both^ of us^, constantly after that."

went to the door of Paradise and' the serpent called outside and said : 
'* Eve, wife of Adam, address m^," qnoth it^ '' [There] is not 
time for me to address any one/' quoth Ere, "for I am attending 
all the lawless beings." '' If thou art Eve, it is upon thee I enjoin

is I care for Paradise and perform attendance on^ all the beings," 
quoth she. '' What direction goeth Adam from thee," quoth the ser-

he is deceiving* ye*, when he does not allow ye to eat a whit of

quoth the serpent " And it is for pre-eminence of that tree 
that he does not allow ye to eat it, in order that ye may not 
understand the knowledge of good and of evil," quoth the serpent. 
" Do not refuse ; go to the tree to try it and you shall have from 
your own Lord knowledge of evil and of good, provided you eat 
one apple of the tree," quoth the serpent. Said Eve to the serpent : 
"Though good thy counsel and thy intelligence, I dare not go to 
the tree, lest I die." So that then said Eve : " Come thyself, 
serpent, to the tree and give me the apple, that I may divide

qaoth Eve, ''and though yon oome into it, there shall be no tarry- 
ing for thee therein, saTo until you give the apple to me from 
the tree." Said the serpent to Eye : *' Provided I give [thee] 
the apple from the tree, it will make for ye distinction between 
evil and good, and I will go out after that, if [neither] subjection 
nor bondage come to me. 

h. Afterwards opens Eve the door for the serpent, so that it^ 
went running to* reach* the tree forbidden and' took the apple from 
it and gave to Eve, so that she ate the half and gave the other to 
Adam. Suddenly in sooth^ when ate Eve that apple, changed her 
figure and her shape and there fell off her after that the beauteous 
garb that was around her, so that she got shivering and cold and it 
was a wonder to her to be stark-naked. So that then sent she forth 
a dreadful cry towards Adam. Thereupon went Adam at the call 
of Eve and it was a wonder to him her being stark-naked. Said 
Adam unto Eve : '* You will not endure [to be] as thou art, without 
thy raiment and who took it from thee ?" '* I will not say to thee," 
quoth Eve, " until thou shalt eat half of this apple that is in my hand." 
Then takes Adam the half of the apple and ate, so that his raiment 
fell off him' and he was stark-naked, as was Eve. So that then said 
Adam : '' Eve," quoth he, " who hath deceived thee and deceived 
me myself along with thee? It is the same," quoth he, ''namely, 
Lucifer and wo shall be henceforth ever [exposed] to various labours 
and diseases," quoth he. Said Eve : '* The serpent that asked of me 
to allow it' into Paradise and, after iti^ coming* therein, it* gave 
me an apple from the tree forbidden and said to me : '0 Eve,' 
quoth it* : ' take from me this apple, that thou roayest have 
[knowledge of the] difference of good from' evil. And divide [it] 
between thyself and Adam,* quoth it. Myself took the apple 
afterwards and I knew not [that] harm [would] be tbcrefrum,

that* It is that serpent," qaoth Eve, "that deceived us, [h] 
Adam." So Chen said he unto Eve : '' It has not succeeded for thee 
respecting thy apple and it is clear to us our destiny is for much 
evil henceforth, now** that we are stark-naked And, moreover, 
there is a thing that is worse for us from it : namely, separation 
of the body from the soul and the bodies to decay in earth and the 
soul to go unto hell without end." Then indeed fell from them 
their raiment After that heaviness with wretchedness fills them, 
so that it was miserable to" them [to have] their bodies without 
a veil around them to" protect them**. 

1. It is then, indeed, manifest to each of them the colour of 
the body of the other. So that then took they foliage of the palm 
for the concealment of their nakedness. Now, there was not found 
in Paradise a tree upon which was foliage, except the sycamore. 
So that then heard Adam the voice of Michael, the Archangel, a- 
saying^ to Gabriel the Angel : <' Let there be sounded," quoth he, 
'' the horn and trumpet of summoning by ye, that they be heard 
throughout the seven heavens and go ye all into the assembly of 
your Creator. And go ye all, hosts and troops of angels of 
the seven heavens, that ye may proceed together with your Creator 
unto Paradise." Went the Lord to them afterwards, with his great 
host along with him, to Paradise and the choirs of angels a-quiring 
around him. Then sit the Cherubim by the royal seat of the high 
king in Paradise, at the very centre of Paradise, the place wherein 
is the tree of life. A pleasant place, in sooth, this in Paradise. 
Ranged indeed was each host of them afterwards in its rank and 
each grade with its angels around it. And sits the king him- 
self in his royal seat above the Cherubim. It is there, indeed, bent 
the trees and forests of Paradise to the level of the earth, for 
reverence of the Creator. So that then said God to the people of 
heaven : *' Have ye heard," quoth He, " the deed Adam did, namely, 
to* affront me* and to transgress my commandment and my precept?" 
It is then, indeed, went Adam and Eve under the shade of the tree, 
upon fieeing before the voice of the Creator. So that there spoke

Adam this plea injurious, namelj : '* If I have violated thy authority, [1]

thy crime," quoth He, ** thy children shall be always* in contention 
against thee. And if it were penance thou hadst done, there would 
be pardoned to thee what thou didst do and thou wouldst be in 
the same happiness." 

k. It is then indeed Ood enjoined upon hu angels : '' Put," said 
He, ''Adam from Paradise unto the common land straightway." 
Then therefore forced the angels Eve and Adam from Paradise forth, 
so that there came to them afterwards anguish and dejection and 
poverty and want and anger and weariness and diseases many [and] 
various* So that then said Adam unto the angels of heaven : " Allow 
respite brief to me," quoth he, *' until I taste a whit of the fruit 
of the troe of life^" « You shall not taste at all," said they, 
" a whit of the fruit of that tree of life, the while shall be* thy body 
and thy soul together." It is then, in sooth, was separated Adam 
from Paradise from that out, as said [the poet]: —

the beiogs that were in* existence, it is we that used to control [I] 
them. And fire would not bum us and water would not drown 
us and edged* weapon* or iron would not cut us off and illness or 
weariness would not seize us. There was not, moreover, in heaven or 
on^ earth an element that would have come against us, if Lucifer had 
not come. And even Lucifer, indeed, he could not have caused our 
destruction, whilst we were under the obedience of the Lord. Since 
however we have offended the Lord, every element is in opposition to 
us and it is not Ood that was the^ cause thereof to us*, but ourselves 
who have offended him, although* he gave every good to us, whilst we 
were under his obedience." Then said Eve to Adam : '' Since it is I 
that am guilty therein, Adam," quoth she, " come you to me and 
inflict death upon me for* my crimes^. For if I be destroyed for* my 
crimes, the" more will God work mercy upon thee." '* Enough" already 
have we afflicted the Lord," quoth Adam, *' and murder" shall not be 
done upon thee," quoth he ; " for thou art wretched" and stark naked" 
and I will not shed my own blood along the earth," quoth he. " Fox* 
true portion of my body art thou, Eve," quoth he, " and [it is] not 
just for us to give fresh offence to'* the Lord, or to destroy ourselves or 
to annihilate ourselves, that the Lord may not forfeit us to demons in 
the depth of hell and may not forfeit us again to Lucifer. For we are 
already in" punishment" and we are dying of cold and hunger, without 
food, without raiment"." ** good man," quoth Eve, '' why dost thou 
not make*^ circuit on every side, to know whether there should be 
found for us anything we would consume ?" 

m. Uprose Adam after that and' made circuit, a-seeking food that 
they would eat. And he found not food, save herbs of the earth and 
the pittance of the lawless beings. That was not sufficient for them 
after the savoury foods of Paradise. So that then said Adam unto Eve : 
'' Let us do," quoth he, ** penance and contrition, that we may put

" Another quatrain (11* 1529-1632) is spoken by Eve in S, B, It is an amplift-

not* how is done penance or oonlntion."* But said Adam : ** Let us 
adore the Lord and spend* a time* without conversingy one^ with the 
other of us, at all. Oo thou, Eye, into the stream of Tigris and I 
will go myself into the stream of Jordan/' quoth he, ** and be thou 
three days [and] thirty in the stream of Tigris and I will be myself 
seven days [and] forty in the stream of Jordan. And take with thee a 
flagstone [to put] under thy feet and let the water reach thy throat 
and be thy hair loosened upon every side upon the surface of the stream. 
And raise thy two hands on high towards the Lord and thy eyes towards 
the heavens and pray the Lord for forgiveness to thee on account of 
thy offence.** Said Eve: **We are not pure[enoug^] to pray the Lord. 
For defiled are our lips after the eating of the apple forbidden.'' But 
said Adam to Eve : ** Let us beseech all the elements that were made 
inT purity, that they may pray the Lord with us for forgiveness to us for 
our transgression and perform like that thy measure and thy work and 
persevere and stir not out of it" Seven days [and] forty after that 
[were spent] by Adam in the stream of Jordan and three days [and] 
thirty by Eve in the stream of Tigris. And there used to come angels 
of heaven from Ood each day, to convene with Adam and to instruct 
him, to the end of nine days [and] ten. It is then, indeed, besought 
Adam the stream of Jordan with its many creatures, that it might 
&st with him to God for forgiveness to him for his transgression. 
Then stood the stream and every living creature that was in it, they 
assembled around Adam and besought they all, both* creature and 
stream, the Lord and they made wailing great to all the grades that 
are around the Lord, for forgiveness to Adam in his offence. But 
Ood caused for his grades full forgiveness of his crimes to be given to 
Adam and a dwelling on* earth to him and heaven after separation of 
the soul from his body. And he gave [the same] to his children after 
him, except whoever should transgress the law of God.

m. Eowbeit, heaxd the devil the precept that was giyen to Adam 
by God and he wont to' tempt Ere^ again in guise of an angel* : to 
entice her from out the stream and to^ injure her in respect to her 
penance.* So said he to her: '' It is long art thou in the stream of 
TigriBy Eve," quoth he, '' and though good is what dost thou, thou 
hast changed [thy] shape/* quoth he. ''Thou hast [almost] killed 
thyself and come quickly from out the stream. And Qod [it was] 
that sent myself to spare thee and to bring thee from out the stream.** 
Then comes Eve from out the stream, so that she was a-drying herself 
upon land and there came afterwards a swoon to her, so that ahe had 
like to die without consciousness. And Eve did not know that it was 
Lucifer that would come in guise of the angel and her mind waa in 
great perplexity regarding him. Said Ludfer : ** Eve," quoth he, 
« many^ are the [vain] thoughts thou hast^ ; for it is by command of the 
God of heaven came I myself unto thee. Come we from this," quoth 
he, ''unto Adam, that we may beg God with ye to give forgiveness to 
ye for your crimes.*' They went afterwards to the place wherein was 
Adam, at the stream of Jordan. When looked Adam upon Eve and 
Lucifer, took* he trembling and abhorrence at sight of the devil. 
" Woe is me, Eve," quoth he, " there hath deceived thee the one 
that deceived thee in Paradise. Sad [is] that in sooth, thy coming 
out of the stream of Tigris, until the angel pure would come from 
the Lord to bring thee thereout.'* When heard Eve the reproach of 
Adam, fell she down upon the very earth, so^ that she nearly met 
with sudden death*. So that then said Adam : " Lucifer, 
devil," quoth he, "why art thou a-following us? And thou hast 
expelled us from Paradise and our bodies have all but^ separated 
from our souls and thou hast given us into subjection and into 
bondage. And [it is] not we took thy kingdom from thee and [it 
is] not we put thee into hell from the heights of the [heavenly]

o. Said Lucifer :> ''What I have gotten of evil," quoth he, '* it 
IB through thy aocount I got [it]. And moreover, I shall tell thee 
how we were put together from heaven : namely, when was given 
thy soul hy Ood unto thy hody, and [Ood] formed thee in* likeness of 
his own form and when it was said unto every element to reverence 
thee and when God sent Michael from heaven to thee, so that he 
took thee to adoie the Creator and when thou didst adore the King of 
the angels, it waa enjoined upon each element to* do reverence to

reverence his image. And said Michael to me that it is I should be 
first before them. After that indeed went I at* length^ and* sat^ in 
presence of the Creator. And said unto us the king, namely, unto the 
nine gradea of heaven : ' Give ye all [of you] eminence and respect to 
my likeness, namely, to Adam,' said He. It is then said Michael : ' It 
is just for every grade that is in* Heaven to adore and to honour thy 
likeness.' So that said I : 'Is not Adam the junior of all the 
elements and [it is] not just thaf the senior should honour' the junior 
and is it not the junior it were just should honour the senior P' 
Then, indeed, said* a third of the people of Heaven, both* angel 
and archangel, that what I spoke was just. It is then said the 
king to us : ' It is the junior is noblest whilst I am in* heaven.' "

Adam, though every one else should go; for I was older than he. 
I was cart after that from Heaven immediately"* through thy fault,

With respect to the transcription, the woxd ITIulletan was fint 
written IXIullachle^an. Marianus then placed a deletion-dot under 
each letter of lach. 6ppca, of ITIupchepcacb, mac Cppca, was 
originally ceppca, but a point was put over, and another under, 
the initial c. These and such variants as ITIuipcepcais — TTluip- 
chepcai5— inupchepcai5, ITIupebeach— ITIuipedach, "Nell— Neil 
were probably the result of ovenight. 

The following, however, cannot be accounted for in a similar 
manner. They show how early, and to what extent, phonetic forms 
and the consequent corruption made their appearance in the tran- 
scription of Irish MSS. Passing over the vox nihili, Nachi, in which 
the radical t) was omitted, as not being pronounced when eclipsed 
by n, we have evidence under his own hand that the copyist,

This oonfirms the conclaaion already drawn, that, namely, the 
presence of such phenomena can form no linguistic basis whereon to 
determine the date of a composition. 

Respecting the subject matter, the list was manifestly drawn up 
to show that since the bipartite division of Ireland, in the second 
centuiy of the Christian era, between Conn of the Hundred Battles 
and Eogan Mor, or Mogh Nuadhat, the Half of Conn, namely, the 
northern moiety, supplied nearly all the over-kings. Why the com- 
piler stopped short at Flann {ob, 916), it is apparently useless to 
suggest; especially, as Donnchad, son of Flann, reigned from a.d. 
919 to A.O. 944. 

There is no break to correspond with the native division of 
national history. Irish chroniclers divide our annals into Pre- 
Christian and Post-Christian : the point of discrimination being the

advent of St. Patrick as misaionaiy. The pagan portion of the 
Catalogue of Marianue includes from Conn to Dathi. The errois 
contained therein are considerable. Conlae Boiss is an unaccountable 
form for Colla XJais. The true sequence is: Fiacha, Colhi XJais, 
Muridech Tirech, Coelbad, Eochu Mugmedou, Niall. This will be 
apparent by comparison with the poem appended from the Boot of 
Loifuter (L) with variants from the Book of BMffmaU (B). 

The author, Gilla Coemain (Devotee of 8t. Coeman ; of, perhaps, 
Russagh, CO. Wcstmeath), flourished in the second half of the eleventh 
century. The other chronological poem composed by him and already 
referred to* is dated a.b. 1072. One of the additional verses in L 
calls him son {mae) ; the B copy, grandson, or descendant (tui), of 
Gilla Samthainne — Devotee of [abbess] Samthann {ob. 739). He 
may thus have belonged to the XJi-Cairbre: a sept that inhabited 
the barony of Granard, co. Longford, in which the establishment of 
the saint in question was situated. 

He gives the names, regnal years and modes of death of the 
over-kings who ruled Ireland from the grandson of Noah to Loegaire, 
the contemporary of St. Patrick. To discuss the reliability of the 
information thus afforded is beside the present purpose.f The piece 
is here given for two reasons. It presents in a convenient form 
the traditional knowledge of the subject. The chief object of the 
selection is, however, to illustrate the metrical form — Debide — ^in 
which the great bulk of native poetry has been cast. In connexion 
herewith, one fact is of special significance. The synopaes} sub- 
joined relative to Concord prove that, as regards one of the chief 
elements, B is superior to L, — fresh proof that an older MS. is not 
necessarily the more reliable. 

The data to my knowledge appertaining to Debide are as follows : — 

Tne authorities in MS. number five. They will be found, text 
and translation, appended to the present Lecture. I.-IY. are taken 
from the Book of BallymoU. I. is contained in a tract upon metric 
forms; II. in a treatise explanatory of the measures peculiar to 
the different orders of bards. III. and lY . belong to the Book of tko

' 02&IM, or Professor of Poetry : the former, to a section treating of 
metres; the latter, to a recapitulation thereof. V. is from the Book 
of Leimier. The a and b verses are respectively the eighth and 
niuth of fourteen quatrains descriptive of twelve chief kinds of poetry 
(ard auU in tUma). The c stanza occurs amongst verses illustrative 
of bardic technical terms. 

I., in the present recension, to judge from one of the examples, 
was compiled in the latter half of the eleventh century. Fiannacan 
O'Kelly, king of Bregia (the eastern portion of Ueath), died, according 
to the AnmtiU of UUtor^ a.d. 1060. In the following year, his son, 
Flann, was slain by Garvey O'Casey, head of a rival family, who 
thus acquired the kingship.* This Flann was, perhaps, the person 
to whom the bardic exhortation in na was addressed. 

The Tract u one of the two authorities which give details of the 
metres. It opens, somewhat inauspiciously, by reproducing without 
comment a statement calculated to render dubious the distinction 
between Regular and Irregular Debide. According to what is given 
below under Rule 3, the a quatrain would seem to belong to Regular 
Debide* The ClUkar mentioned therein was probably a wooded plain 
either near Dundalk, or in Fir-Cell (barony of Eglish, King's Co.). 

The lines in c show the vitality of tradition, being the most 
ancient to be found in the five pieces. They deal with a subject 
that is purely pagan, and wero apparently composed to deride the 
incfficacy of the Lobe Charm.f Of the author, the Ultonian poet, 
Flann, I know nothing more. 

In the Booh of BMyiHoUyX the opening line of the example in 
d is given as an instance of Emain^ or Duplication (of the initial 
letter). The authorship is there ascribed to no less a personage 
than CuchuUain : the doughtiett hero of the SeoU^ thus acquiring a 
fresh title to fame.|| 

That the Composite in c was not merely theoretical, but brought 
into operation at an early period, is proved by the occurrence of the

8ame metre in the TaU of ike Swine 0/ Mae Lathd^ given in the 
Book of Leiiuter.* 

The similar formation in |p is of interest^ aa being that in which 
the ''Ten poems [» 94 quatrains] of the Resurrection" appended 
to Saltair na Eann are composed. It likewise supplies the name, 
which has not been given in the published transcript of the Psalter.f 
In the Rulesy to be mentioned hereafter, the measure is one of those 
included under the term O^laehue, 

The metre of I is employed in a quatrain upon St Mochta of J 

Louth (Aug. 19), quoted in the Vartyrology of Tallaght, in the 
Book of Zeinsler. The verse is mutilated, but another copy occurs 
amongst the Lehar Bree glosses on the Calendar of Oengue-X 

The versification, such as it is, of the final section (o) reflects 
more credit on the composer than the biographical and historical 
knowledge displayed therein. 

II., if Donmekai tke Brown (a) be the same as Bonnekad ike Brown 
of a quatrain in the Annah of Uleier (a.b. 929), cannot date, in its 
present form, beyond the second quarter of the tenth century.§ 

The references in the c stanza are explained by another entry 
(a.d. 840) in the same AnnaU: which likewise has a copy of the 
verse that fortunately preserves the true reading, koMtagee^ instead 
of the unmeaning words of II. and III.|| 

Attention may be directed to the charming description (J) of the 
blackbird in song. It will bear comparison with the two similar 1 

quatrains on the margin of the St. Gall Pruetan (foil. 203-4), of \ 

which Nigra^ wrote with such true feeling. t 

Amo figurarmi il povero menace che, or fa piu di mille anni, { 

stava copiando il manoscritto, e, distratto un istante dal canto dei 
mcrli, contemplava dalla fincstra della sua cella la vcrdo corona 
di boscaglic che circondava il sue monastero nell' Ulster nel 
Connaught, e, dope avere ascoltato I'agile trillo degli uccelli, recitava 
questc strofc e ripigliava poi piu allegro Tinterrotto lavoro. 

Mael-fabaill (k) may have been either the king of Carrigabracky, 



THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICANUS, 850. 101 

in InishoweD, co. Donegal, who died a.d. 881 ; or the king of Aidhne, 
a territoiy in Oalway, co-extennve with the diooeae of Kilmaodiiagh, 
who died in 891* 

III. is of equal authority with II. The example in the opening 
section may he taken as showing that the authorship was different. 
The same writer would hardly have varied in the illustration of one 
measure. In a poetic eulogy of king Aed, preserved in an eighth- 
century MS. of the Monastery of St Paul, Garinthia, Bairiu (the hill 
of Beerin, oo. Kildare) signifies the province of Leinster. It has 
proha]l)ly the same meaning here ; not Kairiu » Oflally, Queen's Co.| 
as in Oilla Goemain's poem (f 6). 

In accordance with the quatrain in k, the composition may date 
from the last quarter of the ninth century.f 

The verse (c) ascrihed to the national patroness is more in 
keeping than the similar attribution in Terminational Debide given 
in the TVipartite Life,X 

The connexion of St. Columba (h) with the Cauldron, or 
Charybdis, of Brecan (between Bathlin Island and the northern 
coast of Antrim) took place, according to the Life of St. Ciaran of 
Clonmacnoise,§ when the saint was returning to lona after his final 
visit to Ireland, a few years before his death. 

With reference to the stanza in m, Robartach and Suibne, sons 
of Maenach, died as stewards of the monastery of Slane, co. Meath, 
A.D. 787 and 814, respectively. || The quatrain in question, with its 
mention of meal^fting and doorJceeping^ may accordingly embody the 
complaint of a lay-brother of that establishment respecting the com- 
parative lightness of the duties assigned to the Son of Cu-^Mu by one 
of the above mentioned oecanomu 

lY. is chiefly valuable for the statements respecting the abbre- 
viated line in Short Debide. The substitution of the opening lines 
as mnemonics instead of the full text of the examples is proof that 
the piece was transcribed, perhaps composed, with knowledge of 
II. and III. 

y. a, b are intended to exemplify in themselves the formation 
of the measures they respectively describe. The author belonged

to the sept of O'Booney, hereditary poets of llac Gennisy king of 
Ulidia (cos. Antrim and Down). His death took place, according 
to the Annals of UhUr^ a.i>. 1079.* Y, c supplies independent 
authority for Lobe Dehide. Its chief importance, however, consists 
in the reading of the example. 

The pieces, it will be seen, afford no information, except in a few 
instances, beyond the name and example of the metre. They were, 
in fact, mere memoranda for proficients. The principles of the art 
and the application thereof must consequently have been imparted 
orally. That instruction of the kind existed in active and con- 
tinuous operation is sufficiently attested by the magnitude, influence 
and vitality of the Bardic Order. 

The metric doctrine thus delivered finds a partial echo in the 
Rules formulated by the Franciscan, O'Mulloy, in his Grammaiica 
ZalinO'ITibemiea, published at Rome in 1677. (From that work 
they were transferred by O'Donovan into his IrM Orammur.) In 
the author's time, versification was still cultivated as a hereditary 
avocation. To judge, however, from accessible material, bardism 
had already in part become a lost art. 

In reference to the present treatment, it has to be mentioned 
that the lines of the verses are written without a break in the MSS. 
Furthermore, the labour of discrimination u rarely relieved by punc- 
tuation, or otherwise, l^ot infrequently indeed it is aggravated by 
considerable illiteracy of transcription. To these difficulties has to be 
added the meagreness of the native vocabularies within reach. (For 
obvious reasons, the illustrative character of the examples can seldom 
be preserved in the translation.) Under the circumstances, no finality 
is claimed for the conclusions arrived at in this Lecture. 

To illustrate the Rules, I set down the opening lines of Gilla 
Coemain's poem : — 

hCpiu apt>, imp nappis, £riu sublime, isle of the kings, 

ITlasen Tnolb6a6 no inopsnifn, Ltudible scene of great deeds ; 

Noco n-i^icip bum a t>ia6, Nor knows any person its state,

1. The yene or quatrain is called rann tamkm, and consiaU in its 
normal fomiy as seen above, of four quarteri (eeihramkma\ or lines. 
Each quatrain must make independent sense. Not infrequenily, each 
distich is similarly complete. The first half-quatrain u called the 
hading {seolai) ; the last, the eloiing (eamhai). 

To this Rule, I. I, J, ji, o form exceptions. The example of 
heptasyllahic Zmid ZuMicach (o) given elsewhere in the Bc^ of 
BM^moti^ has five (not six) lines in the verse. 

8. Each line is made up of seven syllables. In the numeration, 
what is called vrnt^d-dnrnning (hMudh guOuUghe) is taken into 
account. When, namely, a word ending in a vowel u followed by 
a word commencing with a vowel, elision of the first takes place, 
when necessary for the scansion. Thus, line 3, t>uni a Oia6, is to 
be pronounced t>un' a Oia6, three syllables. In all other cases, they 
are retained, each being counted separately. Thus we have, a 1, 
hCpiu apt) (three syllables). 

By means of this Rule we can conclude, for instance, that the B 
reading of a 1, which omits bich, is correct. The L lection makes 
the line hypermetrical, ua being a dissyllable, bicb was, accord- 
ingly, a gloss that crept into the text. 

Aphaeresis is likewise employed to produce the requisite number 
of syllables. Thus we have (a 4) : — 

'8in ITIumain bo mall 6pine. 

In [S]le6c 8caipn \m\ t>ebait> t>uint> (b 3), the omission of i was 
owing to the scribe of L reading Scaipn as a dissyllable. Ipin is 
correctly given in B. 

To the Rule relative to heptasyllahic lines, there are the following 
exceptions: namely, four (opening) syllables are wanting (1) in the 
first line (II.-III. b, d, h, 1, 1, IV. c, e, s : the authority for the 
amount omitted is IV. d) ; (2) in the first and fourth lines (II.-III. e, 
IV. a, V. c); (3) in the second and fourth (I. k, 1) ; (4) four syllables 
in the first line and six in the fourth (I. b, c, II.-III. f, if my 
arrangement be correct) ; (5) three in the fourth (I. I, according to 
my division).

How completely the short initial line, which is so well authen- 
ticated, had become forgotten is shown, to take a typical instancei 
in the first yolume of the new edition of the AnnaU of UUier.* 
The opening lines of a quatrain are printed thus: [The metre is 
Bannaidacht Bee.] 

a muilinn, 

Ce po mile mop bi 6uipinn. 

At foot is a note : **Q muilinn. These words should be repeated, 
to complete the line, according to a practice frequently followed by 
Irish poets." 

But, in the first place, repetition of the words will still leave 
the lino a syllable short; secondly, this distich is proof in itself 
that the abbreviation took place in the beginning of the line. For 
muilinn is in Corr$tpofulene$ (Bule 5) with 6uipinn. The collo- 
cation accordingly is : — 

Q muilinn, 

Ce po mile mop t>i 6uipinn. 

3. In every line, two words, whereof neither is to be the article, 
possessive pronoun, preposition, or conjunctive, must begin with a 
vowel, or the same consonant. This is called Concord (iiatm). Hence, 
line I, we find Gpiu — apt> (vocalic) ; I. 2, maiden molbchach na 
mop5nim (consonantal) : where na, being the article, does not hinder 
the Concord. 

(a) In compounds, the Concord is formed by the initial letters : — 

Coi^a insen ih5nate6 (i — i), a 2. 
ImTTIais Hdait) poDacaofn (p — p), h 4. 
Oej mac Sldnuill, ni paeb-p6 (p — p), J 4. 
Qppin Sr^^c uacmaip, oc5aipb (u — a), b 5. 

{b) The verbal particles t)0 and po (when not joined with other 
paiticles), no and negatives do not form Concord: — 

Oocep coembopp Cmbmapa (c — c), p 6. 
Noco n-fiicip Ouni a t>ia6 (d — x>), m 1. 
Co POC05I00 Cop Conaint) (c — c), b 6, 
Co noppuaip Ua Lamfa6 (u — u), a 1.

{e) The eclipsing letters are not employed in Concord: — 

NuaOu Qp3acldm na n-e6 (a — e), d 6. 
Gpim cpi n-t>ei6 in-bliat)an bpap (b— b), g 1. 

From this it follows, either that Concord was introdaced before 
Eclipsis ; or that the eclipsing letters were rightly regarded as not 
radically connected with the words to which they were prefixed. 

(d) Similarly, p^ f and t are not available for Concord: — 

(l^) 1 cop6aip dp F[h]ep h-hepenb (e — e), s 2. 
t)' h6pim6n ip d'Cbep fiolc6aefn (e — o), f 1.

(6) Co n-epbailc be 6din lopcom (a — i), a 6. 
Oodoib Neimeb 6c be 6dm (e— a), b 2. 

The quiescence of these letters was accordingly established prior to 
the Rule relative to Concord, 

{$) According to the Rule, p, when followed by a vowel or 
consonant, requires a vowel or the same consonant to form the 
second alliterative. This, however, has to be modified with respect 
to I, n and p. Thus : 

Sldnoll — pdcipc (I 6) ; S6cna — pldin (I 4) ; 

Sldnuill — paeb (J 4) ; Siplam paiseb plucj (m 0); 

Sipna — placccafn (J 5); pKing — paep (q I); 

Sfpno — ppfanaib (J 6) ; pnimai5 — pippaeCpai5.* 
Sipna — ple6caib (li.); 

It may consequently be concluded that p forms Concord with 
pi, pUf pp and vice versa. 

Concord is twofold — Improper and Proper. The Proper, or true, 
Concord (Jiruaim) takes place when the vocalic or consonantal agrue- 
ment (as defined above) is found in the two final words of the line ; 
otherwise, it is called Improper (uaim gnuiee). Hence wo have,

106 THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICANUS, 830. 

1. 2, molbchoch — ^mopsnim; 1. 3, Duni — Diach, Pr^p^r Concord: 
1. 1, Gpiu— apD ; 1. 4, (fi)uaip — ua, Impropor Concord. 

The Improper Concord^ it is laid down, may replace the Proper 
in the fint and second lines ; bat the Proper must of necessity occur 
in the third and fourth. With respect to Irregular Debide, however, 
y. b and the poem of Gilla Coemain show that this Rule has to be 
taken with some exceptions.* The test of Regular and Irregular 
Debide may be respectiyely defined, according to these, as the 
presence or absence of Concord (whether Proper or Improper) in 
all, or from any, of the lines of a quatrain. 

It may be well to quote a few examples to show the textual value 
of Concord. In the AnnuU of the Four If(uters,\ O^Donovan gives 
the text and translation of the second line of a quatrain as follows : — 

"hic at cuma m c-peipip — At Ath-Cuma-an-tseisir : i.e. the 
Ford of the Slaughtering of the Six. This name is now obsolete." 

In Vol. I. of the Annah of Uhter^X we have : 

" hie a6cumai int> f^eipip. — The Ford of the Slaughter of the 
Six. Not identified." 

Here the Concord is plainly between the a of a6cumai and 
the e of feipip. This proves that at is the inseparable particle ; 
not the substantive a6, a ford. The meaning is consequently : 
"At the cutting-off of the six" (whose names follow). Besides, 
there is no ford at the place in question. 

In the Rolls' edition of the IVipartite^^ the following occurs: 
'' Aed . . xxuii . cotorckair icath Da Fherta — Aed [reigned] twenty- 
seven [years] and fell in the battle of Da Fherta." That is, the 
combination icach is resolved into i carh, in the hattlc. In the 
poem from the Book of BaUymoUW appended to Lecture IV., there 
is a quatrain (q 4) on the subject, which presents the same MS. 
grouping. But the Concord gives the true division : — 

Ic Q6-Da-pepca innpiiap — At very cold Ath-da-ferta. 

This agrees with the Annals of Ulster (a.d. 819), which have the 
Latin equivalent :^ iu;cca Uaoum-miapiini-nipruriini — near the 
Ford of the two (marvellous) feats.

THE CODEX PALATlNO-VATICAiniS, 830. 107 

The conditions above laid down respecting Concord are yerified 
in y. a, the typical example of Terminational, or Begolar Debide. 
Herewith agree II. a, b, III. b. The Concord of. I. a, 1. 2, is 
Improper : peapaio-peapcan ; not O'[^]eapcan-0eipeoily which 
was a scribal error. Hence, doubtless, the statement with which 
the quatrain u introduced in the text : namely, that the verse, ac- 
cording to some, was Irregular Debide. II. b is included as amended 
by the reading of III. b. III. a is excluded ; the first distich being 
obscure to me, I am unable to restore the ConeordJ^ 

Irregular Debide may accordingly be defined .as that which con- 
tains a hemistich without Concord. This is the criterion in Y. b, in 
which the final line is thus composed. The same holds good of I. a 
(L 2), II.-UI. c (1. 1). From Y. b we likewise leam that the metre 
was peculiar to historical poems. In illustration of this, synopses 
are appended, giving the references of (1) first, (2) second, (3) third 
and (4) fourth lines not containing Concord.\ On verifying these, 
the reason, it will be seen, was that proper names, as a rule, did 
not accommodate themselves to the requirements of Concord. 

4. Tcrminatif% or Stnn^ is the characteristic of Debide. It 
signifies that the second and fourth lines of the quatrain shall re- 
spectively exceed the first and third by one syllable. The ending 
of the first and third is called rinn (tmrinn) ; that of the second and 
fourth, ardrinm {ccnt^imrinn). Thus, in the quatrain quoted, pf; 
is the monosyllabic rinn ; whilst mopsnim, the corresponding ardrinn^ 
is dissyllabic. Likewise, t>ia6, the second rinn^ is exceeded in one 
syllable by its ardrinn^ ham\<xt. 

Compounds and words with proclitics may be employed to produce 
this excedence. When the rinn consists of two syllables, the ardrinn 
has three ; when the rinn has three, the ardrinn has four. The present 
poem contains but three instances of a distich without Termination : 
pfjaib— nfpai5, c 3 ; pinsail — inbai^, x 4 ; pfj — ptp, j 5. 

To this Rule are to be referred the statements in I. e, f, |p, I. 
To understand them, an explanation of the technical terms employed 
therein becomes necessary. 

Terminational Debide (a) is a quatrain with the first and third 

* Very probably, it is a-i (phacpp-imTncenn). III. a can thus be included,

Now, transpose a (given in I. d) : that is, replace the first and 
thiid lines by the second and fourth respecdvely and vtM vmr$m. The 
result (I. e) will be a Composite of y and ^. 

The text heads the example y, from the opening line being in that 
measure. The previous textual statement respecting the Composite 
of /3 and y has reference to I. d, in which the first line belongs to ft. 
I. d in foct, by having a monosyllabic ending in the first and third, 
with a trisyllabic in the second and fourth lines, is one of the irregular 
kinds (made in imitation of the normal measures) to which the Bules 
give the generic title of Oglaehu: 

In the same way, transpose oa (given in I. f). The result (I. s) 
will have a twofold appellation : « and a Composite of y and c. In 
the text, it has the same heading and for the same reason as I. e. It 
likewise comes under Oglaehui. 

The distinction with which I. c closes is this. The example there 
given is 8. SeparaU the lines by transposition (as described above) : 
the result (f ) will be a Composite of c and y. 

With reference to I. h, I, great imrinn signifies trisyllabic riwi; 
to correspond with which the head imrinn^ or ardrinnj must (according 
to Bule 4) be quadrisyllabic. It is called great, because thereby the 
ardrinn can be duplicated : a process confined, it is stated, to the rtnn 
in the other Debides. In h accordingly, paea patb forms the ritm; 
xiiata pinDnaip, the ardrinn. How the latter is doubled, appears 
in I. Whatever metrical arrangement be adopted (that given below 
being merely tentative), the change, it will be seen, has transformed 
the original almost out of the semblance of Debide. 1. 1, as it stands, 
is a Composite of P and c. 



THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICANUS, 830. 109 

That the alteration is purely arbitrary seema proved by the fact 
that the m^drmn of the aocond distich has not been similarly treated. 
In fact, h is a good example of Regular Debide, with monosyllabic 
rinn (paft>-niail) and dissyllabic ardrinn (pint>naip-t>in5bail). 

6. The final requisite is what is called CarreipoHdeHce {camharda). 
To understand this, the native classification of vowels and consonants 
has to be attended to. 

The vowels are divided into hroad: a, o, u, and %kHd$r: e, i. 

The consonants are classed as follows : — 

1. p. 

2. c, p, c (smooth). 

3- 5» b, t> (middle). 

4. 6, p(f»), t (aspirates). 

5. U, m, nn, n5, pp (strong). 

6. 5, 6, $, I, ih, n, p (light). 

PerfsH Correiptmdenee means that in each distich the last syllable 
of each line shall agree with the last syllable of the other in vowels 
and consonants of the same dass. This frequently approaches^ and 
occasionally becomes, rhyme. Initial consonants need not be taken 
into account, unless when two or more (whether belonging to the 
last syllable, or partly thereto and partly to the penultimate) come 
together in (1) one, or (2) both of the syllables in question. Cor- 
reipondence then takes place (chiefly in the finals), in (I), between 
the single consonant and one of the group ; or, in (2), between one 
consonant of one group and one of the other. Thus, in pf5 and 
mopsnim, the agreement between 5nini and pf5 is perfect : consist- 
ing of the same vowel, i, with the light consonants $ and ih (which, 
although not thus marked in the MSS., were aspirated), p and n. In 
the second distich. La in Lointa6 is not taken into account. The 
vocalic consonance is identical (Dia6 — mfa6) ; the consonantal is 
also perfect, 6 and rh (for the m in Laiufa6 was infected) belonging 
to the light division. 

Imferftety or broken^ Correipondenes (Comharda hriste) is defined 
a vocalic consonance, without any regard to consonantal agreement. 
This species, it is added, allows one word to terminate in a vowel 
and the other in a consonant. 

K2 



no THE CODEX PALATIN0-7ATICANUS, 830. 

An exAmple of this rarely-occurring Corr09p<mdene9 is found in 
the opening distich of w 5 : — 

pep sup Dubt>eco6, cen t>ionblait>, 
Cen ecna6, pi oen bliabne. 

But the instance is more apparent than real; for the final t> of 
t>ianblait> was not pronounced. 

Under this Rule are to be classed the exsmples of which the 
characteristic is Carr$ipimi$nc$ without Termimdum (Bule 4). They 
fall into three classes : quatrains having Carretp^ndenee (1) between 
all the lines (II. I) ; (2) between those of each distich (I. b, II.-III. 
e, IT— with a sub-division of monosyllabic, II.-III. J and dissyllabic, 
II.-III. k) ; (3) between the first and third, second and fourth, lines 
(II.-III. s, h). 

Of these, e, s, k belong (not to Debide, but) to c ; h and J to /3. 
II.-III. I, being a Composite of p and c, is misnamed. With it 
are to be grouped I. b, II.-III. f, I. 1. e is an imitation ( Offlaekui) 
of p ; II.-III. e and Y. c are modelled upon c. 

Debide, it may thus be concluded, was applied generically to a 
quatrain, of which the basis was a heptasyllabic line. 

II.-III. s, h enable us to correct with certainty a scribal error 
which possesses a prescription of more than a thousand years, and 
which may be quoted as an instance of the conservatism of copyists. 
The MS. of St. Paul, Carinthia, contains two verses of a poem (in p), 
preserved in its entirety in the Book o/ZoimUr and elsewhere.* The 
first quatrain is as foUowsf : — 

Ip €n immo n-iaba pdf.

He is an empty veesel, he is a withered tree, 
MHioso doeth not the will of the king ahove.

Throughout the poem, Cuneoird (Rule 8) is suhordinated to Cufre- 
%pimimic$. The clauaes of the third line have consequeutly to be 
reversed, and the reading will thus be : — 

If cpanb cptn, if lepcap p^^r- 

He is A withered tree, he is an empty yeaael. 



Some of the terms {4.g. Meagre Debide, L c, II.-III. m, Distiched 
Debiile, I.J, etc.) it has not been deemed necessary to deal with in 
detail. The explanation of them lies in the application of the general 
principles and will present no difficulty, when these haye been 
mastered. 

To facilitate reference, the accompanying Tables exhibit the 
results derived from the foregoing discussion respecting the con- 
nexion between the Rules and the M8. authorities. 

They will likewise show that the fresh material amounts very 
closely to two fifths. When it is added that the present texts form 
but a small portion of the general subject, as treated in the Book of 
BaliymoiSf the native language will be conceded to have been rich in 
forms of versification. To what extent the banlio compositions, as 
a whole, are entitled to rank as poetry, in the present state of our 
knowledge it is impossible to decide.

* The parts of the text within brackets are from I^bar Sree; the place in the 
Book o/Ltinoter having been illegible to the facsimilist 

t X. B. has ap cec — above a hundred ; to the ruin of the metre. 
Golgan {Acta SS,, p. 734 : quoted in the Martyrology of Donegal^ p. 224) is 
far worse. He reads, in the first line: Nip' bo bo6ca muinncep Tno6ca~ 
Not otraitened woe Ihs eommunit^ of Moehta — and, in the third: Cpi 6eb posapc 
um 6eb n-eppoc — Throe hundred prieeU^ aUmg wiih one hundred biehope: thus 
making each of the lines a syllable too long. 

The X. B, copyist altered t>oc[h]ca (etrail) into bo6cai (povertg). Mr. Stokes 
{Cal. Oengue., p. cxxzii.) adopts and improves upon this by translating the nom. 
lipr " in the buxgh,*' as if the text were lUipp. Throughout the edition of the 
Calendar^ he prints the short lines as though the abbreviation took place at the end, 
not at the beginning.

a What is the number of the kinds of Yenifieation ? Not 
difficult [to answer]. Five and sixty above three hundred, that 
is their number. Now, from the Bebides [is] the beginning. 
Irregular Dcbide, indeed, is this [which is placed first], according 
to some: 

Gold is the night in Moin-mor [Oreat Bog], 
It pours rain, not trifling: 
A loud noise has the pure wind laughed, 
That shrieks over the Wood of Clithar. 

b DeUde bam rs toin {jhUwms (gen.) ud poiicem follows] here : 

I have heard of 
The deed, — ^horses [to be given] for poems; 
I shall give that whidli is due thereto— 

A cow. 

€ Lobe Debide [follows] here. And Flann, the poet, of Ulster, 

made it : 

He caught the ear 

With [his] yellow palms*: [but] there was 

After that upon the youth 

A lobe. 

Meagre Non-Correspondent Debide [is] here. Its enticements 
are not [a mere] nothing [i.e. they are considerable] : not seldom 
[i.e. often] chances it [to be convenient] to you to write it. 

4 Since he was small, he took pasture 

In the land of every one, without question : 

I have not seen the mouth [/tV., lips] of a horse. 

Like the mouth of the grey.

c Tenninational Debide [is the veiBe just giren] here. [Pro- [L] 
oeed] to invert this and what ariaes therefrom ia that it ia not [any 
longer] Tenninational DeHde, bat a Gompoaite of [liL, between] 
Bannaidacht Mor and Caabardne. Caabardne [follows] here : 

In the land of every one, without question. 
Since he waa small, he took pasture: 
like the mouth [lit, Upa] of the grey, 
I hare not aeen the mouth of a borae. 

That ia the Gompoaite. 



t It ia to be known what ia the difference between Tenni- 
national Debide and Duplication of the [first-and-third-Une] Termi- 
nation. Not difficult [to tell]. From Duplication of the [first- 
and-third-line] Termination [arises] that its Composite is suitable 
to each of two Versifications. This is the Duplication of the [first- 
and-third-line] Termination: 

There ia many a worthy person 
And troop and deadly banner, 
There ia many a battle-axe lengthy 
In the warlike host of Diarmaid. 



S Thia [which follows] is the inversion of the Duplication. 
And there arise two species therefrom : namely, Ae Freslige, that ia, 
normal Ae Freslige and a Composite of [/tt, between] Bannaidacht 
Bee and Caabardne. This [is] Casbardne : 

And troop and deadly banner. 
There is many a worthy person 
In the warlike host of Diarmaid, 
There is many a battle-axe lengthy. 

Ae Freslige [is applied] to pronouncing them [the lines] in the 
same place [as they are in the example just given] ; and Composite 
[of Bannaidacht Bcc and Casbardne], to their separation [by inversion].

1 Unusual Iirog^nlar Bebide [follows] here: [I.] 

His wound [it was] that killed the warrior, 

It is very bitter, — 
Amongst ill folk [and] slow 

It was [badly] healed. 

■a HeaTj-headed Terminational [second-and-fonrth-line trisyl- 
labioy or qnadrisyllabio] Debide [follows] here : 

son of Flaimacan O'Kelly, 

king of the princely-peaked oonntry, 

leign [lit, po s session] Tiotory-leading, pre-eminent, 

noble-minded [ruler] over Mungairech. 

m Terminational Exoedent Delnde [follows] here: 

son of Murchadh the great. 

To whom [? thee] may neither wood nor hare belong, 

[May] defeat [be inflicted] upon your Foreigners, down to a cow. 

Along with your foreign banners of suD[-bright] satin. 

May flakes of snow issue from the nostril [of each man] 

With ye, [as ye retreat] over Echtga* towards OTening [?]. 

• It is for this that Bebide does not possess a Distiched Termi- 
nation! that it may not be supposed that it is Laid Luateaek, For 
all that, the poets came to understand it, so that they made an 
[excedent] final distich [M., distich of the end], as it is in the fol- 
lowing [M., after us] : 

Once went Cyrus, son of Barius, 

To essay conquest in Italy, 

The east of the territories subdues he ; 

Places [/$<., pours] he under raid and under tribute 

Augusta and the Frentani; 

Greatly Sicily scourges he. 

It endeth concerning the Bebides.

a There is indeed another species and it is to Buanbardne 
it is referred, namelyi Kannaigacht. There are also divisions in 
[M., upon] Bannaigacht : [to wit,] Quadruple-Correspondent [Ban- 
naigacht] and Irregular Bannaigacht. 

[Irregular Bannaigacht is] namely: 

It is a peril 
To be opposite the, m ai0r#. [11. e, III. e.] 



b There is another kind in [/iV., upon] Irregular Bebide, namely, 
Meagre Non- Correspondent Bannaigacht, to wit : 

The son of Cu-abba, and to on. [II. na. III. na.] 

c There are [as said above] two divisions in Bannaigacht, 
namely, Qaadruple[ -Correspondent and Irregular]. And it is not 
to one of them [alone] is applied [the term] Terminational I>ebide, 
OS is (namely, Short Terminational Debide [is] this below) : 

The fresh wind l$ic. 11. b. III. b.]. 



d And indeed [with regard to the second division, to wit] Ir- 
regular Bannaigacht, there are two species therein [/t^., -on], namely, 
its Long Debide and its Short Debide. Its Short Quadruple-Corre- 
spondent Debide is the same [as the normal Short Terminational 
Debide] in scansion : that is, there are three heptasyllabics and a 
trisyllabic in each [of them]. And it is a quadrasyllabic that is 
wanting from it to be a stanza [in scansion]. And [the Long 
and the Short Bannaigachts] agree nevertheless [in Termination] ; 
for it is a monosyllable completes the ending of every quarter in 
each [of them]. But the Long Debide is the full measure of a 
stanza. And not more usual in termination [is] the monosyllable 
than the dissyllable, as is : 

Fcdlimidh is the king, at above. [II. c, 111. c]

It is not this I will not recognise [i.e. I shall willingly 
This is the species blooming, vigorous. 
In which is practised History.

(8TKCHRONI8M8 FAOM THE BOOK OF BALLTXOT&) 

ni. 

IN the present Lectnze, with refeienoe to the traditional regal series 
given in the foregoing, I deal with two texts from the Book of 
BdUymoU which treat of the Synchronisms enrrent in the natiTe 
achooU. Both Ttacts are of interest, as shewing the hasis on which 
oor chroniclers constructed the system of adjusting events to foreign 
occurrences. It is only by the publication of the Book of BMy* 
mote that students have been enabled to study these questions from 
A linguistic and historical point of view. In the present case, we 
have an instance how the issue of an original enables the work 
id the most oonscientions workers to be revised with effect. 

Discussing the first document, O'Cuny* says it is stated therein 
that Gimbaeth, King of THster, began to reign in the fifth year of 
Alexander (b.c. 326). Beferenoe (A d) will shew that Gimbaeth is 
said to have commenced to rule in the eighteenth year of Ptolemey, 
Alexander's successor (b.o. 307). O'Cuny alleges, furthermore, that 
the interval between the death of Conor MacNessa and the accession 
t>f Cormac, son of Art, is reckoned at 206 years. The original (A t) 
has " seven years [and] fifty over two hundred." Finally, the initial 
year of Cormac's reign was, according to 0*Curry, the eighth after the 
eighth Persecution. The MS. (A s) counts twenty years from that 
Persecution, the date being equated with the third of the Emperor 
Probus (a.d. 278). 

The A-Tract, as it now stands, is made up of two independent 
portions. The opening section (a), we see from the tenor of the 



• Ugtwru OH ih$ M8. MmUritiU^ etc., p. 620.

reati did not originally belong to the text. The preeent fartniton* 
connexion is dne to a copyist, who was led to make it by the similarity 
of the sabject matters. 

A junction of similar bat more aggravated incongmity, which 
im|)osed upon Mr. Stokes, is presented by a piece contained in X#&sr 
Br$e.^ After an introdnctory statement, that tract gives the initial / 

▲.n. of the Patrician mission. Next are data, chronological and other, 
respecting the life of St. Patrick and the year and day of his death. 
Then follow the respectire durations of ten periods, ending with the 
obits of Gonor, son of Ponongh, king of Ireland and of Artri, arch- 
bishop of Armagh. (They are mentioned together, as both, according 
to the Annals of Ulster, took place in one month, ▲.d. 888.) 

Lastly, without any Ineak in the MS. or the printed text, comes 
(with some rerbalvariantsf and the omission of two items) the present 
A-Tract, from the martyrdom of S8. Cyprian and Cornelius (s) ; who 
are thus represented as having suffered between ▲.&. 781 and 8881 
Besides, as will be seen below, the chronographic method of the final 
portion is radically different from, as well as older than, that employed 
in the opening. But Mr. Stokes detected no contrariety ; the tractate, 
according to him, was written by one author. \ 

The part in question of A contains the respective lengths of the j 

five divisions, or ages, of the Mundane or Pre-Incamation period of 
the world. Portions of this, there is internal evidence, have been 
taken from the work of Bede, De 9$x Mtatibut ioeeuU. For the de> 
scription of the Sixth Age is a fairly accurate native rendering of :

The following synopses exhibit the items contained in it, together 
with rectiftcations thereof. With reference to the gross numerical 
errors, in the Book ofBaUffmaU^ it has to be obserred, the Eoman 
notation is regularly employed as a contraction for the native reckon- 
ing. The liability to mistake arising from this source is well known. 
In addition, the Latin transcription is, nnfortnnately, illiterate. Two 
striking instances may be quoted. In a tract on the Agei of {h$ Worlds 
we are told that Begma had two sons, Saba and Dadan (Gen. z. 7 ; 
I Par. i. 9) — y«w mtniom idUplaga: Overhead is a gloss, signLEying 
« triho on whom came a plague.^ The original thus doubly travestied 
is, of course : gmu in orieiUali plaga^ a people in an eastern region. 

In the A-Ttact (h), Palladius is stated to have been sent by Pope 
Celestine to preach the Gospel in Ireland in the 5602nd year from the 
beginning of the world. Further on, in the bame section, the ycsir 
following is given as the 5688rd of the Creation. The latter, it will 
be seen, is the true reading. It shews the ignorance or carelessness of 
the copyist, that within eleven lines he omitted and inserted the 
Boman notation for ihiriy.

In each case, the Concord confirms the emendation. 

Similarly, in the poem of Gilla Coemain dealing with chronology, 
the Hebrew calculations — A (a) — are adopted. In the lines giving 
the years of A ▼, the reading of both copies in the Book of Loitutor 
is : a noi coicoc, occmo65a — ^nine [and] fifty [and] eighty. Thia 
is not Irish. The trae lection is, of course : a noi, coic c6c, o^cmoSa 
— ^nine, fiye hundred [and] eighty (589). 

The opening entry in the Annah of ItmUfMm (O'Conor's text) is ;

Mundane Period of 6201 years. It will be found treated at length 
in Lecture lY.) The Hebrew Computation thus gives ▲.». 629 for 
Loeghaire's accession. The numerals should accordingly be irceelxxxi. 
(4381). The emendation is rendered certain by the Yictorian Nume- 
ration and by the date which follows next in the Annals: JT/. Ah

In the same Annals we find (same text) :

Ah oxordio voro rnunH quinpi0 miUia $t xcii. This is also the Hebrew 
Computation. Bead, accordingly : vexii. The scribe, namely, reversed 
the order of e and x ; thus giving 6092 for 5112. 

With respect to B, the correct notation of i. (5), in accordance with 
li I. (a), is given in the A-Text (b), — ba bliaoam ce6op6ac, Xya cec 
1 Xya mill (two years [and] forty, two hundred and two thousand 
[2242]). On the other hand, in iv., the difference between (a) and 
{h) arose from the omission of a word. For t>a bliat>ain (two 
years), read Xya bliat>ain Mac (twelve years). 

The divergencies between i. (a) and i. (3), ii. (a) and n. {h) are 
too wide to be attributable to transcription. The source must, ac- 
cordingly, be sought elsewhere. Speaking of the fifteenth year of 
Tiberius, Bede says, respecting the computation of Eusebius : '* Juxta 
vero Chronica quae de utraque editione . . . composuit, anni sunt

difference between the Abrahamic yean 2015 and 2044), we hate 
5199 as the length of the Mundane Era acooiding to the Euaebian 
Chronicle. 

The Chronicle (Lib. ii.) has at the year 2015 of Abraham : CoUi- 
g:antar omnes ab Abraham usque ad nattyitatem Chiisti anni, duo 
ttiillia qnindedm. Ab Adam usqne ad Chriatom, quinqne millia 
dnoenti» dno minua. The year following is given as the first of our 
Lord. Bead accordingly : uno minus (B i. + IB u. + 2015 » 
5199). 

At tho 15th of Tiberius [Euaebian a.d. 29], the Chroniole giTOs ; I

A statement setting forth the details of the Eusebian sum men* 
tioned by Bede is given in the Book of B0XlymoU.\ It is dated 900 
from the Passion (probably « A.n. 932). The errors, including the 
strange substitution of the Hebrew for the Septuagint reckoning in i., 
I have rectified from the Chronide of Eusebius. Here is found tho 
correct lection of B n. (^) (942). Prom the text as amended the other

This oalonlatioa of Eusebius is dearly what is called the " School" 
Beckoning in the A-Tract (a). It ia, moreoTer, that which, as a 
rale, is intended hy the natite chroniclers when they give the years 
according to the Septaagint Computation. 

The foregoing enables us to correct scribal errors in the dating 
based upon the length of this Mundane Era. For instance, in Zehar 
Br$e (if it be not a mistake of the f ac-eimilist) wc haye : — 

Noi Tn-bliat>na imoppo i ;e. cec Nine yean indeed and ten hundred 
ap u. mfle o Opucu^ob Oboim co OTer Ato thousand [6009] from the foi^ 
sen Cpipc (P. ISSa). mation of Adam to the birth of Christ 

The periphrasis (ten hundred) here given for a thousand is out 
of place in a calculation containing other thousands. The numerical 
reading, accordingly, there can be no doubt, is : noi Tn-bliat>na i;c.6ac 
1 cec ap u. mfle — nine years [and] ninety and a hundred over five 
thousand (5199). 

In the AnndU of BayU (O'Conor's text), we read : — 

Annut ab Ineamatiwu Dowuni Mxlvt. ; ab initio vero mtmdi rtecxliv. 

Here, likewise, the Septuagint is followed. The reading should 
conRcquently be vieexh. ( 1046 + 5199 = 6245). 

The original A-Tract contains no ascription of authorship. The 
design, contents and probable age will be considered later on. 

The B-Text is likewise anonymous. Prefixed, in the handwriting of 
Charles O'Conor of Belanngare, is the title: Leattap Comaimpipea6oa

That the Irish possessed letters before the introduction of Christianity, 
may be taken as established by one fact. In substance the same as 
the present lang^ge, the Ogum script belongs to a stage centuries 
older than that to which, according to the progress of linguistic 
development, the most archaic of our other literary remains can be ] 

assigned. When, in addition, the vitality of tradition is taken into ^ 

account, there appears nothing improbable in the transmission of the 
number, order and leaden of the various so-called Invasions, or Occu- 
pations. Much less, coming to later times, does it seem impossible to 
have preserved the remarkable story of the foundation and the names 
of the rulers of a kingdom established and maintained in despite of 
the central government.

after, along with ecMnpoaitiona of a rimikr kind, arrived the works of 
St Jerome. Among the writings of that Father was a version of the 
(lost) Ghraniele of Eosebius. A reflex of the natural order, whereby 
many events have simultaneous origin and progress, that compilation, 
with some defects of detail, stands in design beyond the reach of 
emendation. To adjust the traditional history to such a system and 
theroby invest national events with the certitude arising from co-ordi- 
nate and dated sequence, was too obvious to remain long unattempted 
by native literati. 

Such was the origin of the Synchronisms. Of these, the present 
texts represent two recensions: one (A) dealing mainly with the 
chief events ; the other (B), with persons and yean in detaiL The 
fonner, it would thus appear, was the older. 

The time in which A was composed is determined by the calcu- 
lations given at the close. The consulship of iBtius and Valerius 
shews that the yean intended are a. n. 431-2. But the textual 
A.P. 401-2 »A.]>. 431-2 "A.M. 5632-3 gives a Mundane Periods 
5201 and the Passion Year a.d. 31. This reckoning cannot be recon- 
ciled with Eusebius. His Mundane Period, we have seen, is 5199 
and his Passion Year a.m. 5232 « a.d. 33 (the 19th of Tiberius); 
giving A. p. 401-2 » a.d. 433-4 » a.m. 5632-3. Hence the Eusebian 
formula would be : a.p. 399-400 = a.d. 431-2 « a.m. 5630-31. 

A.n. 431-2 m A.M. 5632-3 is the Victorian Computation (Lecture 
IV., Table VII.). The Passion Yean are consequently 404-5. 
Hence, in accordance with Chronological Canon III. (Lect IV.), the 
original A-Tract (b-h) can date from the end of the sixth century. 
That the computist did not work at fint hand, is proved by the 
absence of Bassus and Antiochus, who are correctly given as consuls 
at the 404th year of the Cycle of Victorius.* Where he found iBtius 
and Valerius is a question of great importance. Bat this is not the 
place for its discussion. 

The time of B, owing to the loss of the conclusion, cannot be fixed 
with similar precision. But it contains nothing inconsistent with

Ireland (a.d. 632-3). Against thia ia not to be placed the mention 
(a) of tte Paschal Bole. For the false attribution respecting the 
Shepherd of Hermes may well have been known here long before that 
fraud imposed upon Bede.* 

In each Tract, it will readily suggest itself that the numbers, 
whether in sum or item, were for the greater part supplied or 
altered to correspond with those of the Eusebian Chronicle. This 
is confirmed by a typical instance, namely, the final or Milesian 
Occupation.

Lecture) of subtracting the given (Eusebian) year of Abraham from 

2017.]

The discrepancies in the foregoing Table are too great to allow the 
existence of reliable data relatiye to tiie time of the occurrence in 
question. It is accordingly unnecessary to labour in harmonising the 
A and B Tracts. Similarly, the numerical errors of each text can be 
rectified by reference to the (Eusebian) B.C. placed on the roargin. 

The continuation of the B Synchronisms from the end of St. 
Jerome's additions to the Eusebian Chronicle (▲.». 378) down to the 
coming of St. Patrick is explained in the extract given belowf from 
the Book of BaUymoU. The passage is otherwise significant, as fur- 
nishing direct proof that the advent was regarded as a national epoch. 
From this it may be concluded that B, owing probably to a lacuna in 
the exemplar, is defective at the end. 

But the chief value of the Tracts taken together lies in their 
connexion with the AnnaU of Tigemaeh. To deal adequately with

this portion of the subject, it has first to be proved that the so-called 
Chronieon Seoiorum* is a compendium of Ttgemaeh. In the preface 
to the Bolls' edition, in proof that the work which the abbreviator, 
Mac Firbis, professed to compendiate could not have been Tigemaeh^ 
eight entries are given to shew that he could not have copied from any 
existing MS. of that compiler. The underlying assumption, namely, 
that the extant MSS. were as meagre in the time of Mac Firbis as they 
lire now, is purely gratuitous. Passing orer this, on looking into the 
subject, one will be surprised to find that, of the eight items, four fall 
within a well-known chasm of 208 years, A.n. 767-974 inclusive; three 
belong to another hiatus of 14 years, a.d. 1004-1017 inclusive ; whilst 
the eighth appertains to a year later than a.d. 1088, the date to which 
Tigema^ extends. The conclusion based on these premises respecting 
the diversity of Mac Firbis's original and Tigemach is consequently 
without foundation. 

To shew the identity of the two native compilations, I first place 
side by side the following portions of the Chronieon Scotorum and 
Tigemaeh^ and the passages of Bede from which, with exception of the 
Scptuagint reckoning of the Second Age, they are verbally taken : —

a labour such as that whereon he was engaged imposed upon him. 
Then, having described the adventures of Milesius and his sons, up

Ages) to the year of St Patrick's birth (a.d. 353 according to the 
chronology of the editor !). 

Now, the first entry in O'Conor's Ti^ermteh relates to the 18th 
year of Ptolemey Lagus (b.o. 307 ; O'Conor makes it 305). The hiatus 
here accordingly embraces the whole of the Fourth Age and about 
half of the Fifth, and therewith the respective Latin summaries.

250 THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICAirUS, 830. 

The coherent aequenoe of the Latin passages and the metric identitj 
of the Irish verses in the CkranicaH Scctanm and in Ti§§nuMk^ as set 
out in the foregoing, constitute apparently decisiTO evidence that the 
latter has heen the source of the former. 

Thanks to Mr. Gilbert, the proof is no longer of an indirect kind. 
The Faesmilei of the Natifmal If 88. o/Irsknd (Pt. ii., PI. xc.) con- 
tain the first page of folio 11 of the Bodleian Ti^^maeh (Bawlinson, 
488). I append a transcript, together with the corresponding work 
of Mac Firbis.* The item at A.n. 668 and isolated expressions of the 
ChramteoH not given in the Ann^h shew that the original of i was 
fuller than a. The graphic forms and, notably, the entry at a.d. 681 
pi-ove that it was likewise the better MS.f 

The A.D. numeration is supplied from the Annals of Ulster. The 
sole date given in the MSS. is a.v. 4658 in « (at a.d. 673). This, 
being taken from the Chronicle of Bede, is to be amended into 4649. 
The ten years of Justinian's reign are next to be deducted, in accord- 
ance with the chronography of the Chronicle, leaving the first of 
Justinian at a.m. 4639 - a.d. 687. Justinian the Younger ascended 
the throne in 685. Here, accordingly, the foreign chronology of 
Tigemach is eleven years erroneous; the native, fourteen. 

The parallelism set forth in the Note will, it is submitted, be 
deemed conclusive. How far the abbreviator was fitted for the 
execution of the task entailed upon him, will furthennore appear 
therefrom. One glaring instance of Irish and another of Latin will 
here suffice. The MS. has copcpaDh Qili$ Ppi5penO, demolition of 
Ailech Frigrenn (Greenan Ely, Co. Donegal). But Mac Pirbis makes 
the opening word into coipeacpa6, a loan word from the Latin 
eonsecratio^ consecration. To shew his knowledge of Latin, he took 
abatU lea (abbot of lona) to be one word, thus producing ab6atis$a ; 
with the result of making the Columban Superior a woman ! 

Of the conclusions resulting from the fact that Tigemach and the 
Chronicon Seotorum stand in the relation of original and compendium, 
the following have reference to the present subject. In the first place, 
comparing the Chronicon fragments with the AnndU (in the edition of 
O'Conor), we find that the native pre-Patrician portion of Tigemach 
was mainly based upon the Synchronisms. 

* Note D. t Mac Firbis, it also appean, worked from a oopj of the 

Annal$ in which the only defect was from a.d. 723 to 830 both incliuive. 



THE CODEX PALATINO-YATICAiniB, 880. 361 

Nisti with legard to the identification of the Tncta so emplojed, 
the Ckrmiicim ihews that one was a pieoe contained in the Booh of 
Balfymoie (pp. 17-42). It is given in the traditional fonn in the 
Book ofZoimUr (pp. 1-24). The Ckronieon likewise ezhihits Tiger- 
nach*s characteristic of taming native items now and again into Latin, 
doubtless to harmonise with the Hieronymo-Bosehian Chronicle. 
The astounding perversions of meaning observable in the work of 
MacFirbiB it were unjust to attribute to Tigemaeh. 

Another of the sources drawn upon, it may be concluded, was the 
present A-Tezt. In connexion herewith, great praise has been 
bestowed upon Tigemaeh, to the implied depredation of the other 
native chroniclers, for the honesty of his decision respectbg the 
credibility of the pre-Christian history of Ireland. O'Donovan writes 
thus on the subject : — ** At what period regular annals first began 
to be compiled with regard to minute chronology we have no means of 
determining ; but we may safely infer from the words of Tigemaeh 
that the ancient historical documents existing in his time were all 
regarded by him as uncertain before the period of Gimbaeth, the com* 
mencement of whose reign he fixes to the year before Christ 805 
[O'Conor's, not Tigemach's, b.c.]. His significant words, Onmia 
monumonia Soohrum mqvo Cimhaoih ineerta orani^ inquire a feeling of 
confidence in this compiler which commands respect for those facts 
which he has transmitted to us, even when they relate to the period 
antecedent to the Christian era."* 

But it is satisfactory to find that, after all, the credit of the decision 
rests not with Tigemaeh, but with the native school of ehronologists. 
Tigemaeh, in fact, apparentiy did nothing more than put into Latin 
(as was his wont) the substance of the Irish found in the first of our 
texts (d). The words ran as follows : — 

Nit>ab perni ocup nibab bepbo They are not Imown and they are 

pcela ocup pen6upa Pbep n- not certain, the Tales and tlie Historiee 

hepenn 0011151 CimbaeC, mac of tbe Hen of Ireland as far aa Cim- 

pinbcoin. haeth, son of Finntan. 

On the other hand, to obviate the suggestion that the Irish was a 
paraphrase of Tigemacb's Latin, passing over the fact that some of 
the A-Tract items are not to be found in his Annah^ the (Victorian) 

* AnnaU of Ireland, pp. z1t.-tL 
TODD LBCrVU SSRUS, VOL. in. T 



252 THE CODEX PALATINO-YATIGANnS, 830. 

ICmidaiie and Passion Beckonings place beyond doubt that the Irish 
text was composed long before the last quarter of the eleventh century. 
Even if we allow Tigemach to have been acquainted with these Com- 
putations (of which howeror I have failed to find proof), he nowhere 
employs them to date by. They had, in fact, become obsolete more 
than a century before his time. 

The passage in Tigemach which led to the statement just dealt 
with has given rise to an error that is somewhat redeemed by origi- 
nality. Discussing a fragment bound up with the Trinity College 
MS. of the Annak of VhUr, which he (rightly, I believe) took to 
belong to Tigemtieh^ Dr. Todd writes, in a letter published by O'Curry : 
*' I have considered very carefully the passages of Tig0maeh to which 
you called my attention — Owmia mommenU Scaianim m$fu$ CmboM 
inceria 0rmU. I thought at first that there might be some emphasis 
in the past tense erant; they yf^re uncertain, but are not so now. 
But on consideration, I believe that the writer only meant to say 
that the historical records relating to the period before the reign of 
Cimbaeth are not absolutely to be relied on. He had just before said 
that liccus is said by some to have reigned, and, to apologise for the 
uncertain way of speaking {regnare ah Miifertwr Liceut)^ he adds the 
apology : Ommi0 manummts Scoiamm uifu$ C%mba$ih imc$rta irmU"* 

Dr. O'Conor, having given in the text RegtuMre ab almfertur Licetu, 
says in a note : ** These show that there existed different histories of 
Ireland known to Tigemach, which envious time has carried away ; 
for those extant are silent respecting Liccus."t 

The passage discussed by Dr. Todd is given in fae-^miU by 
O'Curry (BBB.). It is transliterated in the Irish character (at p. 
519) ; but no attempt has been made to render it into English or to 
elucidate the obscurities. Subjoined in a note O'Curry gives the 
reading of the Royal Irish Academy MS. and 0' Conor's text. 

This Irish king Liccus had his origin in the Bodleian Tigsmach^ 
Rawlinson 488. The necessity of caution in following that MS. can 
be seen in the extract therefrom already referred to.} In the native 
items, for instance, the scribe either himself confused, or was unable

It remains only to add, as bearing on the tnistworthiness of 
Tigemach, that the name of Echu, father of Ugaine, does not appear 
in any known series of the kings of Tara, or Ireland. 

The A-Tract leads to the additional inference, that Tigemach 
followed the synchronists in dating in detail by Eusebius. This we 
are in a position to establish by direct proof. Accordingly, from the 
internal evidence of the Bodleian and Trinity College MSS., I restore

To enable an independent judgment to be f onnedi the coiieBponding 
portion of the Hieronymo^Eusebion Chronicle is appended-f 

Tigemach's '' singular proferenoe of the provincial to the national 
monaroh as the one from whose roign to date the commencement of 
credible Irish history " has seriously embarrassed O'Curry.} He is 
consequently at pains to give grounds for thinking it " not unreason- 
able to conclude that this great annalist was surprised by the hand 
of death, when he had laid down but the broad outlines, the skeleton 
as it wero, of his annals, and that the work was never finished "!§ 
One ''groat cause of surprise" is "that the Emanian dynasty is 
given the place of precedence." H 

Whether the ''great annalist" was likely to be affected by 
dynastic considerations of the kind, can be estimated from the 
examples of his " broad outlines " set forth in Lecturo IV. As 
rogards O'Curry's difficulty, an apparently conclusive solution suggests 
itself. The Ulster kings, like the synchronism of the 18th of Ptolemy 
with the 1st of Cimbaeth and the credible limit of native history^ 
were taken by Tigemach from the A-Tract. In this they were given 
as having reigned for a period approximating the duration of the 
Egyptian kingdom.

KnaUy, with reCerenoe to the B-Text, the synchronistio arrange- 
ment l^m the 15th of Tiberius to the last of Valerian (4-t) is the 
basis of that adopted by Tigemach (O'Gonor^s edition, p. 16-39). In 
addition^ nearly all the native items of the Tract are found, sometimes 
with dose yerbal resemblanooy in the Annals. As a typical instance 
may be quoted the entry corresponding to that with which our com* 
pilation abruptly concludes. (The text is taken from the T.O.D. 
xragment.)

Now Erin wae danrted for the ipace 
of three hundred years, until reached it 
BuTtholon ; or, two years aboTe a thou- 
sand. And that (latter ealeuUUion] is 
true. For it is sixty years were oom- 
plele for Abiaham [at] the time Parrtho- 
kn oeeupied Siitt. And two years [and] 
f urty and nine hundred from Abraham 
to the Deluge upwards: to wit, sixty 
of the age of Abraham [added] to the 
that sixty [rMMf: forty], so that [the 
sum] is a hundred. [Let] that hundred 
[be added] to the nine hundred, so that 
it is a thousand and [there are] two 
years abore that. 80 it is manifest 
therefrom, that it is two years over a 
thousand £rom the Deluge to the coming 
of Parrtholon into Eriu. 

Bight years [and] fifty and six hun- 
dred and two thousand from the be- 
ginning of the world until came Parr- 
tholon into Eriu. Six hundred years 
and two thousand, except two years 
wanting from it, from Adam to Abra-

iS| three [years and] ten were complete for Cnculainn then. And in 
the fourth year after the birth of Mary, [took place] the Hosting of 
the Cattle-foray of Cuailgne. It is manifest therefrom that earlier 
was the Cattle-foray than [the Destruction] of the Palace [of Da 
Derga]; for it is in the eighth year [and] tenth of the reign of 
Conaire [took place] the Hosting of the Cattle-foray of Cuailgne. 

q Seven years [and] ten were complete for Cnculainn then: 
namely, in the second year [and] tenth above the twentieth of the 
reign of Octavins Augustus [took place] the same Hosting. Eight 
years after the Hosting of the Cattle-foray of Cuailgne, was bom 
Christ and there were complete two years [and] ten for Mary then. 
And forty years were complete for Octavins in his reign then. And 
in the sixth year [and] twentieth of the reign of Conaire and 
Concobar and two years after the birth of Christ, failed Cnculainn. 
And seven years [and] twenty the age of Cnculainn to that. Octavins

[took place] the death of Concobar : that is, in the eighth year [and] 
tenth of Tiberius and in the sixtieth year of the kingship of Conaite 
died Concobar. And others say it is in the year after the Passion of 
Christ [took place] the death of Mary. Five years [were spent] by 
Tiberius in kingship after the death of Concobar. Glaisni, son of

No. IV.— (SUCCESSIONS FROM THE BOOK OF BALLYMOTB.) 

in. 

rthe post-Patrician portion of the regnal list given by MarianoB, 
the following errors occur : — 

(1) Murldach Munderg was king of Ulster, not king of Ireland. 
Moreover, ho was contemporary of St. Patrick, so that he is here 
placed one hundred years too late. 

(2) The Baitan who succeeded Baitan and Eochaid was not the 
son of Murchad, but of Nainnid. He was first cousin of St. Columba ; 
l^ainnid and Fedlimid, St. Columba's father, having been sons of 
Fergus, son of Conall Oulban (eponymous head of the Cenel-Conaill), 
son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. 

(5) Baitan was succeeded (not by Ainmire, who was his pre- 
decessor, but) by Aed, the son of Ainmire. 

(4) '' Golman the Little, son of Diarmait and Aed, son of Anmire, 
13 years." This is an unaccountable double error, dolman was 
king (not of Ireland, but) of the Southern Ui-Neill, and was slain by 
the Aed in question at the battle of Ballaghanea, Co. Gavan, in the 
second year of the reign of the latter. The joint-longs were Colman's 
eldest brother, Aed Slane and Colman Bimid, son of Baitan, son of 
Muircertach, king of Ireland. 

(5) " Suibni, son of Colman the Great, six years. 

Aed Slane, son of Diarmait, four years." 

Here again we find the slayer and the slain made joint monarchs. 

These two items seem to prove that Marianus was unacquainted 
with Adamnan's Life of St. Columba. Therein we have a prophecy 
«< concerning the son of King Dermait, who was named Aid Slane in 

2B 



336 THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICANUS, 830. 

the Sootic tongue." Notwithgtanding the prophetic warning of the 
sainti Aed aeeaasinated hia nephew, Snihne, with the reault thsi, in 
the worda of the hiographer, thereafter he enjoyed the aorereignty 
but four yeara and three montha.* He began to reign A.n. 598 and 
waa slain by the aon of hia victim, £j>, 604. 

(6) Aed Allan waa auoceeded (a.d. 612) by Mailcoba, not by 
Oengua, aon of Colman the Great. 

(7) Maelooba, on the aaaaaaination of hia brother, Suibne, became 
king of TJianech, that ia, of the weatem branch of the Southern 
TJi-Neill. He waa killed a.d. 615 by Suilme Menn, king of Ireland. 

(8) This Suibne waa aon of Fiachna, not of Fachtna. 

(9) Finally, Fogartach was gnmdaon, not aon, of Cemach Sotal 
(the Proud). 

In illustration of the post-Patrician list, I subjoin two pieces from 
the Book of BattymoU. The firat ia in prose. It gives the name, 
descent, regnal years and numner of death of each king from 
Loeghaire («/. a.]>. 462) to Turlough O'Conor (oi. a.d. 1156). It waa 
composed during the reign of Roderic, son of Turlough, namely, be- 
tween 1156 and 1198. Its chief linguistic interest consists in eight 
quatrains. Of these, six are found in Tigemach. They are alao 
given in the Chramc(m Scotarum and the Annait of th$ Fotur Muior§. 

The present text, though far from feiultless, ia one of many similar 
evidencea of the unfitness of Mac Firbis and the O'Clerya to deal with 
documents written in the ancient language. 

The first quatrain (a) is composed in the metre called BanrnMiekt 
mor, that is, in heptasyllabic lines, each line ending with a monosyllabic 
word (Lecture II., p. 108). 

Line 2 Mac Firbisf gives as pop caob Caipi slaipi i cfp, which 
is hypermetrical and meaningless. 

In line 8, he reads aOpe^aib, which is equally void of sense. 
The true form is abpasait) «■ at)*po-a-5ait>, tahich he inpoked, a » 
infixed pron., pi. 3. 

The second quatrain (b) is in the Behide metre, which haa been 
already dealt with. 

In the first line, the Four Masters (according to 0*Donovan'a 



* Note A. t Chr9Hiem ^roriMM,— BoUs' edition, p. 20. 



THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICAiniS, 830. 857 

text)y* read peoppacip (^' was fought," according to the editor). 
Hero we hare a word of three syltahlos, though the metre requires 
a monosyllable. 

The third verse (b) is metricallj identical with the first. 

In the second line (judging from Hennessy and O'DonoTan) the 
Chranican^ and the AnnaliX read ima luaiOpea instead of imoluait>- 
pea. Both editors accordingly translate, Around whom (many §tarwu) 
9hM mo9§. But the verb is imluaiOim, with the infixed pronoun a, 
having bean (woman) as antecedent. Hence the expression means : 
who ikdU €xeiU (sumy Btonm). 

The next line runs in MacFirbis opan pep loipcpibep. Pasong 
over the neuter article with the masc. pep, the line is one syllable 
short and does not end in a monosyllable. 

The fourth stansa (c) is in the same metre as the second. I have 
not found it elsewhere. The locative ibup has to be read i bup to 
produce the requisite monosyllable. 

The fifth (d) belongs to R m mu i ia e ht mar gairU or Bhtrt Rtm^ 
nMaoht mor^ so called because the initial line is (four syllables) 
shorter than the others. In the first line, in accordance with what 
has been laid down in Lecture II. (£ule 2, pp. 103-4), we have to 
read 1p a m-bua6. The O'Clerys, according to the printed text,§ 
read the quatrain as two lines. Moreover, they give ppi bpua6, 
a reading which makes tlie line a syllable short. 

The third line MacFirbis readsjl acpeO cepup cp6i6 (''[Accounts] 
report, though abhorrent," according to the translator), which, besides 
being unmctrical, means nothing. The Four Masters (Joe, eit) are 
somewhat better : acpec pcola, cia pa pci6. Cia pa pci6 {although 
dressing) O'Donovan renders by *' who, in weariness"! The original 
is preserved intact in the Ballymote text given below. 

The sixth quatrain (d) is in Rannaidachi leg {smaU)^ which, it 
has been shewn (Lecture XL, p. 108), differs from Ranmatdaeht mor 
in that each line terminates in a dissyllable. 

The first line Mac Firbis^ reads Nfop bu aipmipc in aiple. 
The Fow Masters^* give Ni ba haipmipc inO aiple (''It was not a

wise oouDsel/' O'Donoyan ; followed in substance by HenneMj). 
But the reading of the Book of Bally moU, enepc a cop pie, is mani- 
festly the original: I^ot tceat (was) what he/ell: capple « t>o-aip- 
po-le (kii), with the relative a {what). 

The seventh (c) quatrain is the Dohiie (a) explained above 
(p. 107-8). The variants in the Chroniean and Four Ma$Un are 
not of importance. 

The eighth (I) is likewise in J)Mie. In the first quarter, the 
Torminatum is formed by bpip ; po and t>u (t>o) (the latter of which 
was inserted to make up the requisite number of syllables) not being 
taken into account. 

It has to be added, that, in seven of the foregoing instances, the 
editors have given text and translation as if neither the one nor the 
other presented any difficulty. 

The second piece is a poem appended to the prose tract, to certify 
the subjects already dealt with. It is composed in Irrcg^ular Debide. 
The original poiiion closes (a 5) with the death of Maelsechlainn 
(A.n. 1122). Of the additional verses, one (w6) professes to have 
been composed in 1 143. (As the preceding quatrain apparently refers 
to the same year, 6242 of the text is to be amended into 6342 « Mun- 
dane Period of 5199.) The date of another (• 6) is denoted by mention 
of the invasion of (King) Henry. The eulogy of Tigernan O'Rourke 
(x 2) is noteworthy, in contrast with the dark colours in which the 
prince of Breifny is depicted in the Irish Annals. 

Of the author, Gilla-Modubda {Depotu of my [8tJ] Dubai)^ nothing 
seems to be known beyond what is told at the close of the prose tract. 
From one of the quatrains (r 1) it may be inferred thut he belonged 
to Meath. (The verses in praise of Dcvenish and Ardbraccon (x 5, 6) 
are amongst the additions.) 

Concerning the saint whose name he bore, native authorities, as 
fur as I know, mention neither the family nor the church. In the i 

LUt of Priests of the early Irish Church {Book of Letnster, p. 366 c), | 

Dubad is found. From the Mortyrology of Tallaght (t&. p. 358 g) wo * 

learn that his feast fell on Apiil 15 : xvi*. Kal, [l/atV], Duhta.* From 

* Syncopated genitive ( ^ Dubata) of Dubat, a variant of Dubad, O'Clery 
(Mart, of Donegal t Ap. 16) gives DubMda as the nominative; not knowing that in ^ 

calendars the names of the saints commemorated were in the genitive. I

the pieseiit text it maj perhaps be ooncluded that St Dahed was 
venerated in Heath. 

The chief chronological value of the Ballymote SuccessionB is the 
nndeaigned corroboration supplied thereby to a.d. 482, as the date of 
St Patrick's coming to Ireland as missionary. Laeghaiiei we are 
informed (a), reigned thirty years after that event. These regnal 
years belong to a portion of the Annals of UUi$r that is accurately 
dated. The following afford confinnation of the Ballymote number: — 

A.D. 454. The Assembly of Tara was held by Laeghaire. 

▲.n. 461. Laeghaire lived seven years and seven months and seven 
days after the Assembly of Tare. 

A.]>. 462. Death of Laeghaire, etc. 

Against a.d. 482 as the initial year of the Patrician mission, two 
arguments brought forward by Dr. Todd have been adopted by Mr. 
Stokes in his edition of the TripmriiU. 

The first is from a tract in the Book of Zsmm, as follows: — 
111. blioOno op ;cL o tenic poqpaic i n-Cpinn co cat Ota — three 
years above forty since Patrick came into Ireland to the battle of 
Ocha. * The battle of Ocha, according to the Jbmak of Ukior^ was 
fought A.D. 488, and therefore, counting forty-three years back, 
A.n. 489 or 440 would be the date of Patrick's coming ' (p. czzv.). 

Here Dr. Todd and Mr. Stokes, who copied him, failed to discover 
that the chronology of the Ulster Annals is correct in this place . The 
year, accordingly, is A.n. 482. But an error far more serious has to 
be laid to their charge. Both accepted the passage from which the 
calculation is taken as reliable. Mr. Stokes, who worked at second- 
hand, goes farther. He declares (p. cxxiv.) the whole tract to be ''more 
historical in character " than another in the same MS., which makes 
Lugaid, who became king of Ireland a.b. 482, the reigning monarch 
when St Patrick arrived. Now, the '' more historical " passage says 
that dutring that t$mo (the forty-three years in question) there was but 
OHO king ooor ZeimtoTf namdy^ £re$Mal Bolach (aen pij pop Lai5ni5, 
iDon, bpepfol bela6). 

But, unfortunately for the compiler and those who put their trust 
in him, King Bressal was some time dead before *' a.d. 439 or 440."

The next Is from the poem of Gilla Coemain. He "coonts 162 
years from the advent of St. Pkitrick to the death of Gregory the 
Great, which took place on March 12, a.d. 604. Therefore, the 
advent of St. Patrick, according to Gilla Coemain, most be dated 
A.n. 442 *'.t But, in the first place, Gilla Coemain, as has been shewn 
in Lecture I. (p. 23), does not place Gregory's death *' on March 12, 
▲.n. 604." Secondly, Gilla Coemain, according to the figures adopted 
in the Rolls* translation, counts 522 years from the Nativity ''till 
Patrick came." That is. he places the saint's arrival fifty-nine years 
later than a.d. 463, the year "probably in or about which," accord- 
ing to Mr. Stokes* Patrician Chronology, his death took place ! 

Examination of the original, if I mistake not, will lead to a 
differont result. The figures for the period from the Nativity to the 
coming of St. Patrick as given by Mr. Stokes are the following :^ —

We have thns : (522 - 10) + 20 • 532. OilU Coemain conse- 
qnentlj fixes the advent of St. Patrick as missionary at A.n. 532, 
when, according to Mr. Stokes, the saint was about sixty-nine years 
dead ! One calculation may pair off with the other. 

With respect to the subject-matter, seeing that the obituary years 
are not severally reckoned from a general epoch, either in the prose 
tract or in the poem of Oilla Modubda, the question presents itself : 
How were the dates adjusted? This leads us to consider the chro- 
nology adopted in native ▲.n. historical documents. 

l^ot finding the ▲.». number prefixed to each year, O'Gonor {Rer. 
JSih. Script.^ it, XX,) concluded that the Christian era was not em- 
ployed in the native Annals. Tigemach, he adds, very rarely adjusts 
native events thereto, deeming the year sufficiently specified by the 
addition of the week-day number to Eal. lem. This is an application 
of what O'Flaherty wjb (t>., p. 34 from Ogygia^ p. 39) : —

Elsewhere (p. 145), O'Flahorty gives the year as A.n. 212, n.L. ed. 
The entry pi-ofcsses to be taken from Tigomach. But the reading

The ferial in acciirate. The error in the lunar notation will be pointed 
out hereafter. 2\ieiday probably signifiea the first Tuesday of January. 

With rsferenoe to O'Conor, his competence to discuss domestic 
chronology can be estimated from the statement he makes, that 
Tigernach was acquainted with the Dominical Letters. For, if so, it 
remains unaccountable why that annalist neyer once employed them, 
but gave the ferial numbers. The truth is, in the known range 
of native Annals, Dominical Letters, whether of verbal or alphabetical 
sequence, are nowhere to be found. 

Now, to test the vaunted value of consecutive A.n. dating, here ia 
the recently issued volume I. of the AtmaU of UhUr, It has every 
year marked with the a.d. numeration as found in the two IfSS. 
And what is the result? Why, through more than Ave hundred 
years, every date is wrong ! Kor is this all. The origin of the error 
has.baffled every inquirer from O'Flaherty to Hennessy. 

Seeing then that notation, whether a.x or A.n., was employed 
only at wide intervals, how, the question consequently arises, was the 
sequence of the intervening years determined? Certainly, looking 
through the pages of O'Conor's Tig^maeh and AnnaU of InnisfaUen 
and contemplating the barren results of his '* supreme labour and 
incredible diligence" (p. xxi.), one would be led to conclude that to 
co-ordinate and date the blank JT/. and undated entries were to essay 
the impossible. Such was the judgment of Mr. Hennessy, and his 
decision seems to have been accepted as final. 

** The loose method," he writes, '' followed by the older annalists 
of simply indicating the succession of years by the repetition of the 
sign JT/., or iT., for Kalendi, to which tbcy sometimes added the 
ferial, or day of the week on which the Ist of January occurred,

THE CODEX PALATIN0-VATICANU8, 830. Ma 

together with their habitual practice of omitting to paginate their 
MS8., has led to innnmerable errors in the chronology of Irish history. 
These errors might in some measure be corrected by the help of the 
ferial, if we possessed the original MSB. But these criteria have been 
80 corrupted in the course of successive transcriptions of the earlier 
chroniclers by ignorant scribes, who did not understand their yalue, 
that they are comparatiyely useless in determining the correct 
chronology, unless when combined with other criteria. Even in the 
copies of Ty^kenmck at present available, the order of the feriae is 
so confused and irregular that any attempt to bring it into harmony 
with the succession of £Ui., or years, would prove a fruitiess 
undertaking."* 

Naturally, therefore, he adopts the bcile system introduced by 
O'Conor. *' The marginal dates represent the actual {M) enumeration 
of the Kali,f or years, contained in the chronide/'t Nay, such value 
does he attach thereto, that in one place (p. 337) he puts 1131 on the 
margin, because '* the actual {sic) reckoning of the Kuh. gives " that 
year, despite the fact of the ferial number and the epact and the a.i>. 
reckoning being, all three, supplied in the text ! No doubt, the moon's 
age is wrong; but the error (xui. for xiii.), which is easily rectified, 
does not affect tiie date (i.n. 1135). 

Now, one would fam believe that our countrymen, whom St. 
Columbanus, in his Letter to Pope Oregory, extols as wtoU 90^0 cytUe 
campmiuU, were not without method in their chronology likewise. 
Such, it is a relief to find, was the case. 

The Irish i.n. Annals in the present recension were dated in detail 
by the ferial and Decemnovennal lunar incidence of Jan. 1 . Henoe the 
formula (for instance) : £al. Jan. vi. find^ ix, lund (or with variations 
of collocation or regimen to the same effect). The native equivalent 
was: KaU 6naip pop aine 1 nomad ua6ot> (epoai) puippi — the 
Kolend [1st] of January [fell] upon Friday and the ninth day [of the 
moon fell] thereon. Ua6oO is a neuter o-stem (gen. ua6ait)), MM^tf- 
UHfy {of number) and was used idiomatically, with or without epcai 
(of the moon), to signify the lunar day. When the year was blank, 
the signature, as a rule, became indifferentiy Kal. Jan.^ Eal., Z7., or 
simply K.

forming a hebdomadal cycle. The aeven-day sequence is, however, 
interrupted every fourth year by the addition of the Bissextile. The

* Thuf amnged (witboat «, 6, ; 1,2, etc.) in the Tract Ik ^rfummHt imuie^ 
amongst the Dmbim #1 tpuria appended to the works of Bede. It is eontiined in 
Chap, zzii., Ik Umparmm rations, which is doToted to the illiistntion of Rules 1 I., 
2 II. The basis of the pseudo-Anatolian Oyde is a oomputation aooording to these 
Rules (/en. in KL una tUcif luna i., etc.), including the last day of each month 
{In frid. J7. F$br, xxzi. dUi, luna prima, 0U.). As the "holy man Anatolius'* 
{Ik temp, rat, xsxv,) imposed upon Bede, calling the method {e. sxii.) a petu$ 
arfumentum nuffomm anetoritaU eontraditum, it may be inferred, was in reference 
to the forgery. 

In the L$bar Br$c Calendar of Oengus, the following items aie given at the 
lespectiYe places on the margin:

When the given day falls on the Kalends, Kones, or IdeB, mb- 
tnust 1 ; vhen it falls before them, subtract the number whereby it 
is designated (e.g. m. KaL, la. Non., in. Id.). 

An example relative to each column will illustrate the spplication 1 

of this Table. According to the AnnaU of Ukter^ Armagh was buxned ' 

▲.D. 1020, on the 3rd of the Kalends of June, the 2nd feria. Jwa. m 
Kal. 162. Deduct 3 and add 7* (6 by Table I. and 1 for the bissez* 
tile). Divide by 7. The remainder is 2 • Monday. 

Aitri, Archbishop of Armagh, died a.d. 1020, on the 3rd of the 
Nones of June, the 6th feria (t(.). Jun. im Nan. 156. Deduct 3 and 
add 7 (as in the previous date). Divide by 7. The remainder is 6 « 
Friday. 

A.D. 878, the moon was eclipsed on the Ides of October, the 4th 
feria (•».). Get. in Id. 288. Deduct 1 and add 4 (as in Table L). 
Divide by 7. The remainder is 4 » Wednesday. 

The quadruple recurrence of each ferial, combined with the lia- 
bility of alphabetical numeration to mistranscription,! detracts from 
the chronograpliic value of Table I. 

Not so, however, with the Epacts. Forming a cycle of nineteen 
and differing considerably one from the other, they constitute a 
criterion sufficiently comprehensive and not very liable to be ren- 
dered wortliless by scribal corruption. 

The following tsble exhibits the Alexandrine (A.) and Roman (R.) 
Epacts, together with the Oolden Numbers and such technical terms 
as occur in the (greatly over-rated) Foiehal JSputle of Cummian,} the 
work l>e mirabHibui Sacrae Scripitira^ (both of the seventh century) 
and the native Annals. 

With reference to the Epact, the common lunar year of 354 days 
is eleven days shorter than the common solar year of 365. Hence, if 
both years commence concurrently, the twelfth day of the second 
lunar year will coincide with the first of the second solar year. The 
eleven added days are called Epacts (^ircucroi 17/uicfMu). The Alexan- 
drines, acconling to the computists, began the Lunar (Paschal) year 
on March 23. The Epacts they reckoned by anticipation from March

22, which daj was in consequenoe derignated 80d$8 Ep^ieUnm in the 
Calendar. Their first Epact was 30,* the long lunar month, (•> 0). 

In the Julian Calendar, the initial Epact was counted from Jan. 1 
next preceding. This is 9.f With 30 (« 0) and 9 as the respective 
bases, the Epacts are found by adding II tor each year and sub- 
tracting 30 (the full lunar month), when the sum exceeds that number. 
The exception occurs in the nineteenth year. There, on account of 
the Sallui Imm$ or JToon't Leap;\ 12 (instead of 11) is added ; thus 
giving 30 (- 0) [(18 + 12) - 30] or [(27 + 12) - 30], as the Epact 
of the twentieth year, that is, the first of the second Cycle. Common 
years (C.) contain twelve lunar months; Embolismal (E.),in addition, 
have a full month of Epactal days ihrintm «i {jiSfv \fi^6kifuk)n In 
Table III., the R. Embolisms are marked in accordance with the 
Julian Calendar. The 1st, drd, 4th, 6th and 7th are mentioned on 
the margin of the Zehar Brec Calendar of Oengus. 

The division into Ogdoad and Hendecad is explained in the EpUtU 
to Bamfaeiui 4md Banui^ the second prefixed to the Dionysian Cycles. 
This exposition of Dionysius forms the basis of the Chapter («/vt.) 1)0 
Ogdotdi ct HmidecatU in Bede*s'work Ik Umporum raUime. It has to 
be added that, seventy years before Dionysius wrote, the tenns were 
employed (in total disregard of the meaning) to divide the years of a 
Cycle of 841 into alternate eights and elevens.^ A document con- 
taining them may accordingly date from before a.d. 526.

For instance, 449 is marked as the first of the Ogdond. It is the fifth of the 
Hendecad (O. N. xni.). 467 is given as the first of the Hendecad. It is the 
second of the Ogdoad (O. N. ii.). The compiler of the Table apparently copied the 
arrangement of the Cycles of Theophilus or St. Cyril. This was likewise erroneous. 
According to the original, or Metonic, Cyde, 449 would be the seventh of the 
Ogdoad ; 467, the seventh of the Hendecad.

mainder, if under 30, is the rcquisito lunation ; if over 30, subtract 
that number and the remainder is the lunation. 

For instance, in the year of St Patrick's death (a.d. 493), ac- 
cording to Itihar BreCf the Epact was 27 and the 16th of the Kalends 
of April fell on Wednesday, moon 13.t ^fr. in Kci, 91 (Table II.). 
Subtract 16, add the Epact 27 and divide by 59. , 43 remain. De- 
ducting 30, ve obtain the lunation 13. 

This Bule, however, suffers exceptions, owing to the Embolisms. 
Thus, the Annuls of UhUr state the moon was eclipsed, a.d. 878, on 
the Lies of October, Wednesday, moon 14 ; tho sun, on the 4th of the 
Kalends of Nov., Wednesday, moon 28.| The ferial criteria, Tubles 
I. and II. shew, are accurate. Applying the Lunar Eule, we have : 
OH. in Id. 288. Deduct I, add 23 (found by Table III., Uule I) and 
divide by 59. The remainder is 15. Similarly : Nov. in Kal. 306. 
Deduct 4, aild 23 and divide by 59. The remainder is 29. The com- 
putistic error arises from the emboUsmal day of the Golden Number v. 
This is inserted at Oct. 1, making the new moon fall on Oct. 2. 

I have accordingly compiled the following Table, which sets forth 
the novi-lunar incidence of the Deoomnovennal Cycle. The solar day 
of the new moon being ascertained thereby, the lunation of the given 
day can be readily computed. For instance, a.d. 878 has the Golden 
Number v. (Table III., Kule 1). Reference to Table IV. will shew 
that a new moon of v. fell on Oct. 2. The 14th of that moon con-

Being cyclic, the ferial and epact, it is obvious, could be of no 
utility, except in connexion \7ith a fixed date, whether initial or 
other.* A typical example will prove this.

THE CODEX PALATIKO-VATICAKUS, 830. 961 

In a MS. of PriBdan proflerred at Leyden, the toUowing, written 
periiaps bj the scribe of the work, appears (folio 7i) : — 

DttbUiach hot ▼eniia icripdt tempore ptrro ; 

Indulge, lector, quee male icripta rides. 

Idoe Aprilee — tribne digitis ; 

•mio decennoTeiulis oieli— tribua initnimeiitif ; 
Tertio die ante Paaeha — penna, BMrnbrano ; 

Tertia decuna luna incipiente — atramento ; 
Tertia bora poet meridiem — Trinitate anziliatrioe. 

In Table IV., the Golden Number in., denoting the third year of 
the Cycle of Nineteen, is placed opposite March 31. The Paschal 
new moon was accordingly on that day (the 14th of the Mar. 1 moon 
occnrring before the Paschal Term, Mar. 21), and the 14th lunation 
fell on April 13. Hence the earliest Easter of ni. was F, that is, 
April 14. " The third day" (Ap. 11} is thus reckoned exdusiye of 
Sunday. It was, in fact, Holy Thursday. 

But, how futile was all the precision ! Within the probable period 
of the transcription of the MS., the Easter of iii. F occurred three 
times at intervals of 95 years, — i.n. 743, 838, 933. 

We have next to shew the value of the ferial and epact when 
employed with a definite year. In the Carlsmhe Codex of Bede, well 
known as one of the MSS. on which the Orawtmatiea Celtiea was 
based, a second hand placed on the margin (folio 17a) of the CMtjw/Ma 
AnHoltif or Calendar, opposite . . . d. i. 9. KL [^S^.J : 

bdr THuipchaeo, maic ITlaile- Death of Murehad, eoa of Maelduia 
Mm, hi Cluain-maccu-Hoir, d [kingof Ceiiel-£ogain],inCloDniaciioi8e, 
imba Chtopain, x. anno. from ont the bed of [St.] Ciaran, in tba 

tenth year [of the Cycle of Nineteen]. 

The Unik is obviously reckoned from a dated fir$t year. Hence, 
as the native Annals state that Maelduin was deposed* a.o. 823, it is 
easy to suggest that 832 is the year intended. But, as the Carlsmhe 
MS. does not give the date of deposition, the conjecture is untenable. 

On the second preceding folio, the same hand made a marginal 

entry: 

[A.D,'] Dooczvii. Aedj rex JSibemtas, maritur.f 

* Strange to say, bis death is not given. 

I The AtmMis if XJkUr give the obit of Aed at a.d. 819.

352 THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICANUS, 830. 

817 (Table III., Bale 1) is the initial year of the Cyde of Nineteen 
(Golden Number x.). The ietUh therefrom is 826 (Golden Number x. ; 
Dominical Letter O). D (without a point (.) before or after) and B 
are the respeetive lunar and ferial letters of August 28. The mean- 
ing, accordin^y, is that Murchad died on Tuesday, August 28, moon 
21 (new moon, August 8, Table lY.), ld. 826. 

To illustrate the use of ferial and epact in application to native 
annalistio dating, take, for example, the initial Solar Cycle of the 
AnnaU of ItmUfMm^ from where the ferial notation of Jan. 1 com- 
mences in 0*Conox^s edition.* O'Conor tacitly admits his inability to 
restore the chronology from the textual data. 

The opening year, *' Septuagint" (Victorian) iux. 5630, Hebrew, 
4481 [« m./., JT. /., A.D. 429] and the seoond [tv./., xxi. /.], ld. 430, 
have been already given.f From the latter the text gives four Kl, up 
to Kl. •. /., which O'Conor counts a.u. 434. But the true date, 
the ferial shows, is a.d. 433. The explanation is : a duplicate entry 
of St Patrick's advent was given under ld. 432. Its heading, jn., 
should accordingly not be reckoned separately. This is placed 
beyond doubt by the remainder of that Decemnovennal Cycle and the 
whole of the next. The reconstruction, it will be observed, tallies 
exactly with the scanty portions of the ferial and epact preserved 
in the transcription.

The blanks obeenrable in the luni-aolar notation an erideatlj 
owing to scribal remissness. 

Equally striking are the results obtained in connexion with the 
Digsmack Fragment in Trinity College.* The MS. hegins with the 
Hebrew a.m. 4033, and ends with 4522 » 490 years. But for almost 
three-fourths it is a skeleton. The entries that (preceded, as a rule, by 
the dated year and, with one exception, by the ferial and epaet) occur 
at interrals, breaking the array of vacant J7., amount only to 125. 
On the other hand, ** the actual reckoning of the Kals.'* gives but 360, 
instead of 365, blank years. How are the lacunae to be localised 
and supplied? Dr. Todd, who worked on the Fragment (O'Curry, 
MS. Materuilif p. 581), can only say, " it is possible there may be 
some error in the transcription of the JTiy 

As the basis for the solution of this and kindred questions, I 
tabulate the luni-solar criteria of the initial cyclic years as given in 
the MS. (The opening entry is acephalous, but the omission can be 
supplied with certainty by comparison with what follows in the text.)

That the absence of the JTl. in the first line of (a) does not denote 
the omission of a jear, is proved bj Table V., No. 8, and by the 
fact that [a.m.] 4173 has the epact xxvi. 

The fifth JTL was omitted, together with the ferial and epact, in 
the 16th cycle ; /. xp. is dated [a.x.] 4306 [aj). 363] ; /. viV., [a.x.] 
4307 [a.d. 366]. The year passed over was 4806 [a.d. 364], /. xsm. \ ' 

It remains to examine the accuracy of the ferial and lunar J/r e^ > 
incidence presented by the Table. The first, as can be verified by/ \/ 
Table I., Rule 1, is in every instance correct. / 

By Bule 1, Table IIL, we shall find that a.d. 81 has the Qolden 
Number vi. » Epact 4 (not i. » Epact 9). The same holds good of 
the other 26 years in Table Y. Similarly, 670, the concluding year, 
has the Epact 9 (Golden Number i.) ; not Epact 13 (Qolden Number 
XV. of the preceding cycle), as given above. In a word, every lunar 
reckoning in the Fragment is five years wrong! Moreover, the 
uniformity leaves no room to doubt that in each instance the altera- 
tion was effected designedly. 

Anomalies still greater are exhibited in the textual collocation of 
the entries relative to the dates. As a typical instance, I select the 
period from the birth to the captivity of St Patrick. The purport 
of the following arrangement is explained by the headings. With 
regard to the contents, the years in /3, except those printed in italics, 
have foreign items. Of the four here reproduced (taken from St. 
Jerome's continuation of the Eusebian Chronicle), the first and last 
shew that the number, of years marked is correct The displacement 
of the second and third can scarcely have originated with a compiler 
acquainted with the source. The correct dates are given within 
brackets. (It is unnecessary to observe that they do not agree with 
the respective MS. f crisis.) In y, the years, with three exceptions, 
are left blank. Four have been omitted.

THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICANUS, 830. 561 

This Table provefl, OMaming a, P aod y to bo his work, that 
Tigemach carried out two ' emendations ' of the Vulgar Era : one (a), 
making the chronology (in round numbers) three solar cycles in 
arrear ; the other Q3), one solar cycle in adyance. The Table like- 
wise shews that he reproduced (^3, y) the number and ferials of the 
years from the birth to the captivity of St. Patrick; thereby un- 
wittingly preserving wherewithal ( J) to detect the alterations. In 
view of the foregoing, Tigemach can scarcely be regarded as the most 
trustworthy of the native annalists. 

Reverting now to the opening part of the Annah of Innisfatten 
given above, two dissimilar elements are discernible. In the first 
pkoe, the years are marked in unbroken continuity by the luni-solar 
incidence of Jan. 1 (A). Secondly, the entries annexed constitute a 
sequence that is not similarly integral (B). Given the initial year, 
specified by date or otherwise, A becomes perfect in meaning. Apart 
from the fragmentary character, B, by itself (witness the failure of 
O'Conor to settle the Innisfallen Chronology) is devoid of material 
significance. The original was consequently A. But the contents and 
the cyclic form (to pass over the absence of consecutive dating) prove 
that the primary puipose was not chronographic. The ferial and epact 
were, in fact-, the requisite criteria from which by computistic methods 
the incidence of Easter and of the other moveable feasts of the current 
year was determined. We have thus revealed the fundamental datum 
in reference to the native a.d. Annals. 

The Paschal €ycle was the basis of the Irish 
Chronicle. 

The relation of A to the other Paschal Computations and the 
conclusions resulting therefrom relative to the native Annals demand 
separate treatment. 

The dating employed in connexion with the Paschal Tables used 
in Ireland next claims attention. Of the methods whereby this was 
effected, reckoning from an epoch is the only one that falls within the 
scope of the present inquiry. The Mundane Eras found in the Cycles 
and Tables of 84 are not to be met with, as far as I know, in Irish 
documents, annalistic or other. Whether the Passion year of 84 
(▲.D. 29) exbted in the Table introduced by St. Patrick, the data 
accessible to me arc not sufficient to decide. The reckonings of the

kind in the Book of Arwuigk^ for instance, are altogether unreliable. 
(The initial year can, nevertheleaa, be determined with oeitainty.*) 

The celebration of Eaater on the sixteenth of the moon mentioned 
in the C0idloguf\ as followed by some of the Third Order of Irish 
Saints, it may be eondnded, was derived from the Great Cyde of Yio- 
torins of Aquitaine. According to this, it was brought into nse in 
Ireland during the last decade of the sixth century. 

That it was known here before that time, we learn from St. Co- 
Inmbanns. Writing to Pope Gregory, he says that by his masters, 
most saga eomputists of cycles, Victorias, so far from being received, 
was deemed worthy rsther of derision than <^ authority.^ This is 
condusiTe as regards the community of Bangor up to the saint's depar- 
ture (about A.D. 590) for the Continent. But it ia not at yariance 
with what is stated in the CaUdop^^ 

In the Prologae,S the Mundane Beckonings profess to be taken 
from the Hieronymo-Eusebian Chronide and the Chronide of Prosper. 
They are as follows :— 

A. From Creation to Deluge, 2242. 

B. „ Deluge to Abraham, 942. 

C. „ Abraham to (a) Valens YI. and Yalentinian II.

(a) Applying a to the Ensebian Chronicle, we obtain the Rule em- 
ployed in the Third Lecture : to find the b.c., subtract the Abrahamic 
year from 2015 + 2. The result will be found to coincide with 
that obtainable by the Olympiad Beckoning (b.c. 776)* and the 
Beckoning from the Foundation of Home (b.c. 753)f • 

(fi) SimUarly, deducting fi from 5630, the initial Mundane year 
of the Annak of JnnUfaUm^ we have A.n. 429. This, taken in con- 
nexion with two entries in these Annals — ^Yictorius scripsit Oidum 
Paschae. — ^Finis Cidi Victorii — , shews that the opening portion was 
based upon the Cycle of the Aquitanian. 

The P Beckoning occurs twice in the Annah ofBoyU.X 

(1) Ab Adam usque ad Cormac fluxerunt anni ticx. [-^«aj>. 
909]. 

In the Innisfallen Annals, the year in which Cormac (MacCulen- 
nain, bishop-king of Cashel) was slain is marked vi./., xxiv. /. Thei^e 
are the criteria of a.d. 908. But a native quatrain there quoted 
gives 909. The entry, it is thus seen, belongs to the latter year, 
f . /., r. {., A.D. 909. 

(2) Annus ab Incamatiooe Domini mxlti. (reete^ - ni.) : ab initio 
▼ero mundi yiccxliy. (6244-1043 » /3).§ The r«. of the text was 
consequently a scribal error for m. 

From the Annah of Innitfallen, or some similar source, the fi 
Computation passed into the A -Text of Lecture III. (thence copied 
into the Zehar BreeJH Tract), which assigns the advent of St. Patrick 
as missionary to a.h. 5633 [- /S = a.d. 432].

(y) With reference to y, therefrom, in the first place, is derived 
the Rule employed in the First Lecture («M|pr«, p. 11): to equate 
the Yictorion Passion Tear with the a.d., add 27 to the fonner. 

Secondly, Yictorius, according to the Prologue,* intended to com- 
mence with A.M. 1, and give the Paschal data of each year, according to 
the Solar Cycle of 28 and (a modification of) the lunar portion of the 
Cycle of ^4L. But, as an immense work of the kind demanded ample 
leisure, one Great Cycle (a.d. 28-559) was executed to meet the 
present need.f The Easter ^lar and lunar criteria of a.m. t and 
A.M. 5658 (a.i>. 457) are set fotth, to prove that both were respectively 
found by the same methods. In accordance therewith, in reference to 
the solar incidence (with which alone we are at present concerned), 
the former year has the Dominical Letters AG ; the latter, F. We 
can thus reconstruct the original Solar Cycle of Yictorius. (To 
facilitate reference, the Yulgar Cycle is annexed.)

To test the Viotorian Solar Cycle : — 

A.M. 5202 -r 28 leaTes 22, B (a.i>. 1). 
A.M. 5229 ^28 „ 21, DC (a.d. 28). 

(1) Accordingly, the Victorian Role for'fiiidiog the a.x. Dominical 
Letter can be thus formulated : Divide the given year by 28 : the 
tabular letter oppoeite the remainder in the Victorian Column, 
T^e VJJJL., is the DominicaL If nothing remains, the letter cor- 
responding to 28 is the Dominical. 

(2) Similarly, the Victorian Rule for finding the a.d. Dominical 
Letter is : To the given a.d. year add 21 and proceed as in (1).* 

(3) Finally, to find the Dominical Letter of a Victorian Cyclic, 
i. e. Passion, year : To the given year add 20 and proceed as in (1). 

Connected with the foregoing and other calculations of the Pro- 
logue is a reckoning! made in Lreland in the middle of the seventh 
century. To the identity of his Latin name with that of the great 
bishop of Hippo we owe the publication, if not the preservation, of 
the work, De mirabiltbui Saeras Scrtptwrtt^^ of the Irish Augustinus.) 
To explain the miracle recorded in Joshua x. 12-18, of the sun and 
moon standing still, the writer lays down that the natural course was 
not thereby disturbed, as both the luminaries rested simultaneously. 
As proof, he gives in brief digest the cyclic recurrence from the 
Creation to the year of his writing : to shew that the sun and moon 
are always in agreement at the end of every term of 582 years. 

In the A.M. period, the initial and final cyclic years are identified, 
internal evidence proves, by reference to the Chronicle of Eusebius. 
Hence, the last year of Cycle I., the first of Cycle V., and the first 
and last years of Cycles II., III., IV. are not specified by any events. 

In the A.D. period, the tenth Cycle ended, we are informed, in the 
ninety-second year after the Passion, in the consulship of Aviola and 
Pansa (A.n. 119, according to y). The eleventh began in the follow- 
ing year, in the consulship of Patemus and Torquatus (a.d. 120, in 
accordance with y). Dr. Reeves quotes the Chronicle of Cassiodorus 
to justify the assigning of these consuls to the years in question,

ittstead of to a.d. 123, 128, retpeotiTely. Bat the writer went no 
farther a-field than the (partly erroaeoiia) o^msolar column of the 
^otorian Cycle, where they are bo placed.* 

The final year of the eleventh Cyde (a.d. 651, according to y) ia 
identified by the death of Kainchine (of ICendrohid, King's County), 
amongat other aagea. In the third year of the twelfth Cycle the work 
was written. 

A difilenlty affecting all theae datea ariaea from the fact that the 
obita of Mainchine and two other abbota are giTen in the Antudt •f 
UkUr at a.i>. 652.t The discrepancy ia explained by two calcolatioDs 
aet forth in the Prologue of Victoriua.! 

(«) The date of the Passover is fixed aa followa. (The lunar 
notation it is unnecessary to deal with in this place.) In a.ii. 8689 
[DC Bis], March 24 fell on Thursday, a.m. 8690 began on the fol- 
lowing day, Friday, 3Carch 26 ; which was the Paasover. This ia 
intioductory to a reckoning of more importance. 

(i) In A.M. 5228 [a.]>. 28 DC Bis.]> March 25 fell on Thursday. 
Adding the intercalary day, a.m. 5229 [a.d. 29 B] oommencod on 
Friday, March 25. In this way, Holy Thursday fell in a.d. 28, on 
March 25 ; Gk>od Friday and Easter Sunday, in a.d. 29, on March 25 
and 27, respectively. This is based upon a Mundane Period of 5200. 
The Passion and Besurrection were thereby assigned to the traditional 
date, namely, a.d. 29. 

But, in the first place, the Julian year, which waa that followed 
by Yicterius, began with Jan. 1, not March 25. Moreover, the 
diurnal progression from C to B, introduced in (a) and (3) as taking 
effect in March, did not come into operation until the following New 
Year's Day. In other words, you cannot have two intercalary days 
within one year.

of Yietorins, a^. 28 (not 29). 

The two calcolations in question are consequently interpolations.* 
They were obviously suggested by what is stated relative to the dates 
of the Passover and Passion in the previous passage of the Prologue. 

The text of the foregoing is that of Petavius-t On the other hand, 
Bucherius,! who does not deal with («), reads r///. r//. r., instead of 
rm. nil. ri.^ KdUhda9 Apribi in (i). But this, if the original, proves 
that the interpolator either was unable to fit the added day' into the 
computation, or passed it over, in order to bring his Easter incidence 
(March 28) into conformity with the ^etorian, as given on the follow- 
ing folio.S 

If the peeudo-l^ctorian Computation imposed upon the author of 
the De mirahtMui iocrtts Scripture, the fraud, it has to be borne in 
mind, was by comparison the work of a practised hand. The 
pseudo-Anatolius assigned but two Bissextiles to a Cycle of nineteen

{ After the aboTO was written, I found a copy of Bucherius in tiie National 
library. This, I had the satisfaction to discoTer, has a special value in reference 
to the present question. On the margin of the Prologue are placed MS. readings 
which, as appears by comparison with the PetaTian text^ were taken from the 
Codes Sirmondi employed by Petavius and Bucherius. (These fariants fuUy con- 
firm the laxity of the latter in reprodunng his exemplar.) 

Two of them, now that the xs. is lost (Kmseh, M mtp,^ pp. 84, 310-1), are of 
importance. viL {Xalmdaa Aprik§) and f. {XaUtuUu AprUn) were made vm, and

prores that the interpolator, whether ignorantly or designedly, left out an integral 
item of his own reckoning. S^d guis in §eripti$ tpuriii igactiimdittim prmutmHi f

The Psendo-Tictorian Beckoning is also found in the AnmaU of 
BoyU: 

In hoc anno beatus Oregorius quievit: scilicet, in ncrto anno 
Dominicae Incamationis, ut Beda dicit in Historia sua . . . Anni ab

The earliest authenticated mention, to my knowledge, of the 
Cycles of Dionysius in native documents is contained in the Paschal 
Letter of Cummian, written in, or soon after, ▲.n. 632.| With them, 
as we have seen in Lecture I. (p. 10), came the consecutive reckoning 
by the years of the Incarnation. The protracted and embittered 
struggle connected with the introduction of the Alexandrine Paschal 
system is one that might be retold with advantage. Here it will 
suffice to say that in Ireland, as elsewhere, the principle of the 
Dionysian Cycles and the ▲.&. Era gradually predominated. 

* Appended (Note G) will be found the paenge in which the reckoning is deelt 
with by Fetaviai in the Doetrina Ttmponm, They are amongst the proofs of the 
author's imperfect acquaintance with Paschal Cycles and the Chronology connected 
therewith. t O'Conor, «M Mup, Atm, Basil,, p. 6. 

X The delegates deputed by the Synod of Hagh-Lene to visit Borne attended tiie 
celebration of Easter in St. Peter's on a day (March 24) which differed by a month 
from the Irish date (April 21). (This was the 82nd year of the Cycle of 8#» 
Golden Ko. zxvii., r; Victorian G.K. xv. ; Dionysian, v., a.d. 631.) They 
reached Ireland the following year. The ill-disguised tone of defiance leaves little 
room to doubt that the Epistle was composed immediately after their rotum.

(Other reckonings are to be met with in the Annals. But these, 
whether a.x. or a.d., are the result of a so-called emendation, and 
consequently of comparatively recent date.) 

When two or more are employed, the most recent calculation, it is 
scarcely necessary to observe, determines the time of the document in 
which they are contained.

The first lunar notation they reproduce is at a.d. 1086. It is

This passed master with O'Conor and O'Donovan, perhaps be- 
cause in the preceding prose the regnal years are given as 22. It 
escaped themselves and the Moiisri that the third line is a syllable 
short, and that the eve of the feast of St. James fell on the Idth, not 
the 14th, of July. But fortunately the original, which O'CIery 
and his followers had under their hands, is still extant in the Annsh 
of UUter, The two faulty lines run thus : —

In A.n. 1086, New Tear's Day fell on Thursday, and the Gfolden 
Number was iv. Consequently, July 14 fell upon Tuesday, and it

THE CODEX PALATINO-YATICANUS, 830. 373 

was the 29th of the meoD, which hegan (Table lY.) June 16 and 
ended July 15. 

The other lunar notation will be considered farther on. 

The result is that for more than five centuries (a.d. 494-1019) 
every item in these so-called Annals is errdneously dated ! Neverthe- 
less, the mischief still wrought by them is strikingly illustrated by 
the fact that the dates of the battle of Ballyshannon* and of the death 
ol King Nially together with ten others equally erroneous, are quoted 
on one page (539) of the Bolls' edition of the TripwriiU from the 
AmuiU rfihs Four MaiUr9. 

Apart however from the falsification of the text, allowance has 
to be made for O'Clery and his assistants, in view of the work of the 
same kind produced by those who professed to deal with the subject 
sinee their time. 

O'Flaherty plumes himself on having fixed the date of the Mile- 
sian Occupation. First, he quotes the verse of O'Flynu given above,f 
to prove that the 7th of the moon fell on Thursday, May 1. This, he 
adds, agrees with 3698 of the Julian Period, which was the 12th of 
tlie Decemnovennal Cycle.^ It requires no great computistic skill to 
test this. The Epact of xii. is 10. The Lunar Rule (Table III. 2 : 
(121-l + 10)-r59) accordingly leaves 12 (not 7) as the lunation of 
May 1. But, what is more important, the original reading is 17 (not 
7) ; which shews that the year intended by the native versifier was 
the 7th (not the 12th) of the Decemnovennal Cycle (Epact 15). On 
this foundation the Chronology of the 0$y§%m is constructed ! 

The following, from his edition of the AnnaU of InnUfaUm^ will 
sufilciently set forth O'Conor's acquaintance with the Epacts : — 

▲.D. 1058 [1041, O'C], aiUuaih^ i.ma lunae. 
A.D. 1172, aiU huaih, prima lunae.

A.D. 1115 [1098, O'C], aileuath^ ultima lunae. 

The reading is ails uathad^ and the expression means the 2nd of 
ihs moon (Epact 2). These five years (Table IIL, Bule 1) have tho

A text in Ti^^rnaeh displays another notable result of what he 
ealls his ** incredible diligence." 



In a note he quotes from the Anglo-Saxon chronicle : '* Hoe tmno 
^ppmrmi eomeUt xiv, Kal, Matu 

Here we haTe error upon error. Sic pi (which, of course, means 
nothing) should be hi $ept^ as even the Four Masters could have taught 
him. Their reading is : hi pe6c Caloinn TTlai — on the 7th of the 
Kalends of Hay. Co does not signify ad, but oum, in this place. 
Hay 1 fell on Honday, not on Tuesday, and Low Sunday on April 28, 
not April 29, in 1066. The text requires but one other emendation : 
iu,xx. should be 9i,xx, (Perhaps it is a misprint.) 

The meaning now presents no difficulty : Jan. 1 [JoU on Sunday"] 
\9t of the moon, A hairy etar, a wondroue marvel, woe eeen in the $ky, 
the Tneeday aftar Little JEaeter [Low Sunday], on the 7th of the ITaUnde 
of May [Ap. 25], 2Zrd of the moon [lit., with the 2Zrd thereon]. 

The Golden Number being m., the Paschal moon (Table lY.) 
began on Harch 81. One may thus, without << incredible diligence,** 
calculate that the 26th lunation fell on the 25th of the solar month 
next ensuing. 

With regard to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, there is nothing that 
can be tortured into the comet appearing on April IS. It states 
that Easter in 1066 was ''xvi. JBTal. Maii'^ (April 16). Then it 
describes the comet : saying, amongst other things, that the star first 
appeared on the Eve of Letania Major, that is, viii. Kal, Maii (April 
24). Litania Major was St. Mark's Day. 

Another instance of O'Conor's knowledge will be mentioned here- 
after. 

A date of which the day of the week and the day of the month aro 
given is so easily determined, that it is strange how O'Donovan failed 
to notice the error in the account of the battle of Ballyshannon, Co. 
Kildare, quoted by him (a.d. 733, F. M., i. 382, note o) from the 
Anndle of UUter, '* at the year 737." Therein we have xiii. Septem-

the Bomaii method of reekoniog the days of the month. Besides, he 
had the tme reading, " on the 14th day of the Kallends of Septem- 
ber [Aug. 19]," in the entry of the AmuUi cf Chnmaenou^ which he 
there gives. 

No donbt, it may be said that Sep. 13 fell on Friday in 737. But, 
'' the reader," according to O'Bonoyan (Yol. I., p. zlyiii.), " is to bear 
in mind that the Annals of Ulster are antedated by one year up to 
1014, and that ... he should add one year to the respectiTe dates." 
Now, in 738, Sep. 13 fell on Wednesday. 

The OliUr reading in the new edition (Yol. I., p. 194) is : xHii. 
S^imhru ii$, 9%. Mid : that of O'Conor's Tigfmaeh {R.H.a., it. 243) : 
«9fV. JT/. Sept. di$ .%. Mairt [nawulf^ TWmA^]. The mutual correc- 
tions give : 9iiU. Kdl. Sep., m. forid. Aug. 19 fell on Tuesday in 
878. NeToitheless, the editor of the AnnaU of UUt§r (p. 195) gives 
" the 14tfa day of September, the sixth day of the week." He found 
nothing that required emendation. The Four Masters have placed the 
battle under 738 ! 

With reference to the Epact, O'Donovan makes no correction of 
the statement of the Four Masters, that the Paschal incidence is tho 
same every 365th year. 

Elsewhere (ld. 493, F. Jf , p. 157, note s), he quotes from Libmr 
Br^ that St. Patrick died *< in the 120th year of his age, that is, the 
27th [r§eU, 26th] of the solar cycle," etc. But the original (p. 220 a) 
of the explanatory clause is: i m-bliat>ain uii. ;c;c. pop Kalaint) 
enaip — in tk$ yssr ^fth^ 21 tk {Iwuir daf) on Jtmuary 1. Here, there 
is no mention of the Solar Cycle. a.d. 493, as stated correctly in the 
text, had the Epact 27 (« 19th year of the Decemnovennal Cycle). 

(The passage will be found given in full below (p. 388), amongst 
the corrections of the DripariiU Life of St, Patrick,) 

In a quatrain quoted by the Four Masters, a.d. 1099 is described : 

Im [in] bliG&ain coiccit>e uaea[i]6, 

1[n] cpep blioOain paip lap [puip* op] puc» pi.

▲.n. 1099 had the Epact 9. (Golden Nnmher xtil) and was the 
third year after the leap-year, 1096. For the second line, compare the 
notation in the AnnaU of InnUfaUm : iii. bL puip [pop] bip . ^ in

Dr. Reeves is justly scTere upon O'Conor's editorial shortcomings. 
Yet| in his edition of Adamnan (Addtiumal Nate* D 0), he adopts 
O'Conor's InnUfalUn dates. In the following, no excuse can be 
pleaded for reckoning '<in opposition," to use the words of Dr. 
RecTes, ''to the author's own notation": —

In bis LeeturM on the ITS. MaUriah of Irish Httiory (p. 435), 
O'Curry writes : " The number of the Epact for the year 1096 was 
23, so that a cycle of the Epact terminated that year. And he 
generously gives the reason : '' For," be says (p. 430), ** if we add 
the annual increase of eleyen days to twenty-three, it would make it 
thirty-four, thus passing into a new cycle of the Epact for the next 
year 1097, whose Epact would accordingly be four." 

But Table III., Rule 1 ((1096 + 1) -r 19), gives the Golden Num- 
her XIV. « Epact 2 for 1096. Consequently, the Epact for 1097 was 18. 

After this, it is superfluous to deal seriously with the following 
(ti. p. 61) : — *' Tigemach appears to have been familiar with some of 
the modes of correcting the Calendar. He mentions the Lunar Cycle, 



THE CODEX PALATINO-YATICANUS, 830. 377 

and naes the Domimeal Letter with the Kalends of the seyeral yean ; 
hat he makes no direct mention of the Solar Cycle or Oolden Numher."^ 

How Tigemach " conected" the Calendar has heen already shewn. 
The remaining statements, except perhaps that respecting the Oolden 
Numher, are taken from O'Conor; ''no direct mention'* heing the 
equivalent of nam $0mel iMmonUumJ* 

In the Letter descrihing the T^mmach Fragment (O'Curry, MS. 
2M,, p. 518-9), Dr. Todd gives the '* Lunar Epact " of A.n. 84 as 15. 
That iB» apparently, he snhtracted 19 from 34. But the Epact is 
24 -> Oolden Number xtt. (Table III., Eule 1). 

At A.X. 4079 (A.n. 127) he reads Itma in, Beference to the 
Table (V.) of the initial cyclic years (3rd cyde) will shew that the 
reading should be Uma 9tV., which is the MS. lection. The true 
Epact is 2 « Oolden Number xiv. (Table IIL, Rule 1). 

The death of Tuathal Teachtmar he gives at a. v. 4104. The 
Tigemach Epact being xxiiii.^ the year (Table V., 4th cycle) is 4105 
(A.D. 153). The correct Epact is 20. 

'* The reign of Feidhlimid is given in the following year." Here, 
however, occurs the hiatus of three JT/., i.e. 4106-7-8, which has 
been mentioned above. The death is dated <' 4109 or 4110." 

An error that seems unaccountable remains to be mentioned. Two 
of the commonplaces of Irish are that ria {re) signifies hrfwre and Mr, 
mfUr. In his Ftfrt of the OaidhiU and QaiU (p. 15), Dr. Todd so 
renders the words. Twice, moreover (pp. bdz., 22), he adduces reasons 
for concluding that imr (after) of the text is to be read re (before). Tet, 
dealing with the above-quoted I7Ztf#r criteria of 1014,t he gives (p. 
xxvi.) '^ the correct translation" of Feil Qrigoir rim n^Init as " The 
feast of St Oiegoiy [12th March] fell after Shrovetide"! This, ap- 
parently, because, according to him (ti(.), ** Shrove Tuesday . . . was 
the 9th March." 

The meaning of Init will be demonstrated farther on. 

In dealing with the Ckroniean Scotorum^ Hennessy, as we have 
seen, adopts O'Conor's system of chronology. In the A.n. portion of

the oompendiuin, there are Imt two epacts retained : m, at 1132 and 
jm. at 1135. In a note on the latter year, the editor ia good enongh 
to inform ni that M# third ftria means Tuesday. It escaped him, 
however, that svi. was an eiror for «m. 

The Annali of Lock C$ were issued under the same editorship. 
The notation of the Vulgar Solar Gyde is given from 1194 to 1197, 
the former year heing mariced aa the 19th of the Cycle. This pieeious 
result waa obtained by adding 1 (instead of 9) and dividing by 28. 
The reckoning is consequently eight years slow. To test it, 1 194, the 
text correctly says, began on Saturday. But the 19th of the Yulgar 
Solar Cycle (reference to Table Till, will shew) begins on Wednesday. 
1194 was, accordingly, the 27th of the Cycle. 

The solar notation recommences at 1231, and goea on to 1412. 
Here another rule is applied, with the opposite results 1231 is given 
as the 19th year. The computist, namely, adds 20 and divides by 28, 
thus making the years eleven in advance. To put it to proo^ the 
leap-years of the Yulgar Solar Cyde are the 1st, 6th and every fourth 
year thereout. Being bissextile, therefore, 1232, for iMfam^^^^ cannot 
be the 20th. It is, in fact, the 9th. 

The editorial rectification of the foregoing consists of bald in- 
cidental correction (at a-d. 1309*) of the 1194, 1231 errors and 
remarking that, though the soli-cydic notation was blundered 
throughout, as the chronology waa not affected thereby, correction 
was deemed unnecessary. 

With reference to the lunar notation, it conunences in the same 
Annals at the initial year, i.n. 1014 ; the epact of which is rightly set j 

down as xxvi. Whereupon, a note says : " But read 28th (although 
the Annaii of UUUr have 26th)." The same epact belongs to 1204 
(Golden Number viii.). The editor, notwithstanding, gives the epact 
«rm., noting that the IIS. reads zxviii. I a.d. 1215 (/. gxvii.) is said 
to have been the last of the Cyde of Nineteen and a caiUrmy yssr : 
« meaning," the editor says, ^' opposed to the bissextile year." It 
signifies, however, that it was conirarif to the other years of the 
cyde, in the addition of 12, instead of 11, to form the epact of the 
year following.

and Roman months; also hexameters descriptive of the Zodiac, the 
initial days of the Signs ; Uie Solstices, Equinoxes, Dominical Letters, 
portions of Table II., etc. Of all these numerous items, the follow- 
ing almost make up the total published by the editor. 

(1) The Egyptian and Grecian yemal equinox is given at March 
20 ! (p. Ixiv.). Had Mr. Stokes mastered the data supplied by the 
MS., he would have been saved from this elementary error. In the 
MS. (p. 84), the gloss stands on the left margin, between March 20 
and March 21. To which it belongs, is shewn in a native quatrain 
(not copied by Mr. Stokes) at foot of p. 102 :

On the feaat of Benedict with rigour,

That [ia] a feaat that you oompute, not 

false. 
Equally long, both night and day. 



THE CODEX PALATINO-YATICANUS, 880. 881 



In the Oalendar of Oengus, St. Benedict is commemonted at 
ITarob 21. Herewith agrees the Calendar in Bede's works : 

Xii. KaL [Apr.] Benedicti abbatis. Aequinoctittm seenndam 
Orientales. 

(2) June 21 . " 8ol[8]titium seenndam greooe et eg;iptios" (p. evi.). 
In the MS.| this is rightly placed opposite Jane 20. Compare the 
maiginal eatiy on a line with Dec« 21 (not giyen by Mr. Stokes) : 
SoUtiiium 9§cuHimm Or9C9i. See likewise the two qnatnans that 
precede the natiTe stanza just quoted :

The night e-lengthening, not false. 
And ihortening upon each long day, 
From the f eatt of Faelan, look acvoai, 
To the feaat of Thomaa agam. 



In the Calendar of Oengns, the feasts of Faelan and Thomas are 
June 20 and Dec. 21, respectively. Compare the Bede Celendar : 

XiL Kal. [Jul.] Solstitium secnndnm Orientem. 

Xii. Kal. [Jan.] Nativitas sancti Thomae. Solstitium hyemale. 

(This equinox and the solstices are to be carefolly distinguished 
from the Roman.) 

(3) Sol in Tawnm uUrai is given (p. czz.) at July 19. Bat 8oi 
in Tmnun is found at April 17 (p. 86 of the MS.). 

Under which king, Bezonian t 

Read 8oi in Lecnem inirat^ and place it at July 18. The emendation 
is rendered certain by the Zodiacal hexameter heading August (not 
given by Mr. Stokes) and by the Bede Calendar : 

Aufuttum MMMMi Z#o firvidma ifn§ p$rwrU% 

Xv. Kal. [Mali] Sol in Taurum. 
Xy. Kal. [Aug.] Sol in Leonem.

"^th this may be compared the note (apparently taken from 
Bede, De Ump, rai. xi.) in the central portion of a rote, or drcnlar 
diagram, in the Beichenan MS. cxciz. (fol. 237),* setting forth the days 
of the Boman months that respectiyely corresponded with the first 
days of the Egyptian: DMtu [x. .Eal, Sfp.^ rev^rUru ad iiu. Kl,

(6) But for droll emendation, No. 4 must probably yield the pslm 
to No. 6. A left-hand marginal gloss (p. 89) states, amongst other 
things, that 8t. Keyin of Olendalough had two brothers. Their sister 
was Aibind. The latter part stands thus in the MS. : 

Aibind soror 
dui eorum 
B N(ONAE) 

B is the regular letter, signifying that when Jan. 1 falls on Sunday 
(or Saturday in a leap-year), June 5 is Monday. 156 is the annual 
number of June 5 (Table 11. 6 h). To Mr. Stokes, howeyer, dui is 
the diminutiTe -cula ! He reads iororeula in the text (p. xcviii.) and 
gives " MS. soror clui" underneath ! 

With reference to the lunar year, the glossarist mentions the 
Decemnovennal Cycle, the Hendecad and five EmboUsms ; also when 
the new moons began, and the length of the days and nights respec- 
tively at such times. He likewise gives criteria for determining 
Easter and other moveable feasts.

Letter C - (the latest) Easter, AprU 26. 

(The moon, it has to be premised, is regularly designated from the 
month in which it ends. But here, in consequence of the EmboUsm 
of the eighth Decemnovennal year being inserted at March 7, it is 
named from the month in which it begins.)

886 THE CODEX PALATINO-VATICANTTS, 8S0. 

Here Lent is computed by xn D « (the earliest) Easter, If arch 22. 
The diyiaion difPen from the Irish, in making the proportion 5:1; 
thereby limiting the more aastere portion to Holy Week. The Stricter 
Fast and the Summer Lent (both of which are well established) do not 
call for discussion in this place. 

The gloss in question is consequently to be translated : 

[Jfiw«A 6.] Zati Aqr an wkick m iki nmo siMfi of ik§ B§§iimmf 
[p/Zmf]. 

In other words, the Golden Number Tin. stands opposite March G 
in the Calendar. (Ppim epci, like prima luna$ and Jir$i of ih^ 
MaoM, is an elliptical expression for ppim ua6oX> epci— ^Srt< Aiy 

9f ik$ flMMM.) 

(4) The corresponding day is thus given in this edition : ''April 6, 
yovmmui diei /orMmhi primstci ehato — ^the latest day whereon is the 
first moon of Easter" (p. Ixziii.). This gives 31 days to the April 
moon ! Besides, no Paschal new moon falls on April 6. Herewith 
the Zebar Br$e glossarist apparently disagrees. In the HS., on 
account of the space occupied by the preceding gtoss, the sentence 
stands opposite the 6th ; but it is obviously misplaced. It means : 
April 5 is the last day on which is the first of an Easter moon. The 
Qolden Number vni. is placed (Table IT.) opponte that day in the 
Calendar. 

Connected herewith is a gloss on Uay 5 which is noteworthy: 
'' laithe mir grmii na dtfreigabala — ^the day of the solar month of the 
first Besurrection " (p. Ixxxiv.). Here is what the bookish theoiick 
leads to, — Easter Sunday on tho 5th of May ! There is not an Irish- 
speaking child who could not have taught the editor that ppep^abal 
means the Ascension, and eppeipge the Besurrection. The Calendar 
of Oengus, it is very remarkable, gives the one on the 27th of March ; 
the other, on the 5th of May. 

(5) March 21. '* Dies Epaetarum^^ (p. Ixiv.). On the left margin, 
this item is written under March 21. But on the right, it correctly 
stands opposite March 22.. Compare p. 347, t^pra and : — 

Xi. Kal. [Apr.] Sedcs epactarum [Cis/. Bid."], 

(6) April 25. *' JEicop mor mac eaiUe, $te. . . . N% ihie 9Sn eo cmin 
«. hliadan xxx, or ecee, — €hreat bishop Mac Caille, etc. ... He comes 
not till the end of 435 years " (p. Ixxvi). This is perhaps the crown- 
ing achievement of Mr. Stokes, — taking a bishop for the Oreat Paschal

Stokea failed because the glossarist placed novifimm H— poica under 
mn. in. (April 26), and the remainder under mi. Kl. (April 26). 
Tlie first dauso Mr. Stokes omitted ; the second he referred to ICac- 
Caille, although it precedes the gloss relatiTe to that bishop. 

The emendations are certain ; the same calculation being em- 
ployed elsewhere : IL Id. [ifiir.] yaviaimmt din farumhi Init. Ni

This refers to the same Deoemnovennal year as the previous gloss. 
When Easter, as has been set forth in Table IX., falls on April 26, 
the first Sunday of Lent is ICarch 14. The 'glossarist rightly added 
« according to the normal notation,:'' that is, 28 x 19 « 682. 'For 
the same Paschal incidence occurs in years that are not a Great Cycle 
apart : as, for instance, 672, 919 and 1014. 

Here again a modicum ol knowledge is requisite to reconstruct 
the gloss. For the first sentence stands a line-space aboTO tt. Id.^ 
with fortamU Init a-top of novimmut dioo. The second is written 
underneath tV. Id.^ and is partly interlinear. It is scarce necessary 
to add that the gloss has not been transcribed by the editor of the 
Calendar. 

In the JVipartiU Life (p. 631), following O'Conor, Mr. Stokes 
says that " the new moon fell in December, 1071, on the 26th Decem- 
ber, and that therefore there were seven days thence to January 1, 
1072." But that would make the epact of 1072 rut., instead of etV. 
New moon, a glance at Table IT. will shew, does not occur on Christ- 
mas Day in the Cycle of Nineteen. The year in question (Oolden 
No. Tiu.) has new moon on December 26, thus giving etV. as the epact 
of 1072.

In the foregoing, tor " in the 27th year, the Calends of January/' 
read : ** in the year of the 27th [lunation] on the Calends of Jan. 
[which fell] on Friday." So far, therefore, from being superfluons, 
fir (upon) is integral to the idiom. 

Again, from eet to hi in to he read : eti hiiMdain for Viuxm A%— the

The Dominical Letter was C ; Golden Number, xix. (Epact 27). 
New moon (Table IV,) fell on the 5th ; the 13th of Uie moon, on 
the 17th of March. 

It is not surprising, therefore, that Mr. Stokes gives the following

The foregoing corrigenda, which are not exhaustive, will suffice to 
shew that the attempts hitherto made to deal with native dating have 
been itxespective of the principles upon which it was based. 

Aa regards the present essay, the treatment, I am fully conscious, 
owing in part to the deplorable lack of reliable material, is not as 
ample as the importance of the subject demands. Under the circum- 
stances, nothing more is claimed than to have indicated the direction 
and method of research and some of the main conclusions resulting 
tliereby. No difficulty has been consciously evaded ; whilst, to enable 
the student to judge for himself, the original authorities have been 
dted or referred to throughout. For the rest, ex primu uta peragro

BOOK OF BALLTMOTE. 

a Laegaire, son of Niall, held the kingdom of Ireland for thirty [462] 
yean after the adyent of Patrick. 

Armagh waa founded. * [444] 

Secundinns^ (that ia, Sechnall) and Old Patrick' slept in peace. 

Laeghaire received death' afterwards at Orellach-Daphil, on the; 
side of Gaiss, in the Plain of liphe, hetween the two hills, namely, 
Biia and Alba [were] their names. He gaye his guarantees to the 
Lagenians that he would not seek the Cattle-Tribute from them, after 
he had been made prisoner by them, when he was raiding amongst 
them. So that he gaye sun and moon [aa guarantees] to them that he 
would not seek [it] from them any longer. Afterwards tun and moon 
killed him for that, for he dishonoured them. As the poet saith : 

Died Loeghaire, son of Niall, 
On the side of Caiss, green the land, . . 

Elements of Ood, which he inyoked aa guarantee, 
Gaye fiite of death to the king. 

Ailill Molt, son of Dathi, [reigned] twenty years, until he fell in [482] 
the battle of Ocha, by Lugaidh, son of Laeghaire and by Muiroertach, 
son of Ere and l>y Fergus Wry*mouth, son of Conall Crimthainn and 
by Fiaohrach the Spirited, son of Coelbad, king of Dal-Araidhe. 

b Wherefore said Bee Mac De : 

The great battle of Ocha waa fought in the country, 
There were fought [therein] many battles : ,^ 

Upon Oilill Holt, son of Dathi, 
Defeat is inflicted by Dal-Araidhe. 

Lugaidh, son of Laegaire, son of Niall, [reigned] flye [and] twenty [607] 
years, until he fell in Achad-Farcha, after being struck by a fiery bolt 
from heayen in his head, after his refusal [to belieye] in Patrick. 

Muiroertach, son of Ere, namely, Muiroertach, son of Muiredach, [684]

I Brian Boiomha, son of Ceinnetech, aon of Lorcan, son of Lachtna, (l014] 

son of CorC| aon of Anloan, [reigned] two years [and] ten, until he 

fell in Leinster by the Foreigners of Dublin, in Clontarf. 

Mael-Sechlainn again in the kingship of Ireland [for] nine years, [1022] 

until he died in Cro-inis of Loch Ainninn, after yictory of Penance. 

There were won five battles [and] twenty by him upon the Gaidhil 

and five upon Foreigners : to wit, the battle of Edar and the battle of 

Imdan, the battle of Bos, the battle of Eathen, the battle of Luachair, 

the battle of lis-lugech, the battle of Mortan, the battle of Mnindlle, 

the battle of Mnlla, the battle of Findi, the battle of Fordmim, the 

battle of Feabait, the battle of Febaid, the battle of Druim-Emna, the 

battle of Eath-Carman, the battle of Han, the battle of Magh*Man- 

daoht, the battle of Domnach, the battle of Dum, the battle in Hagh- 

Cama, the battle of Tara, the two battles of Dublin, the great rout of 

Yellow Ford. It is of those sang the historian : 

Fire battles against Foreigners broke he them, 
Seema to me, it is not an achievement unknown : 
Liphe, by him perished its sway ; 
Twenty battles [broke he] oyer the Gaedhil. 

J It is he [that was] last king of Ireland. For, although some 
reckon otiiers amongst the kings of Ireland, they did not possess 
Ireland as a whole after him, without a province or two being left 
out. And, nevertheless, there is mentioned in the roll of kings even 
a ^' king with opposition." [But this should not be] unless in the 
roll of '' kings with opposition." Now, if [the king] be from the 
Half of Mogh, itn^ ofIr$hmd is not applied to him, until he has the 
whole Half of Mogh and Tara witii its territories and the second 
Fifth of the Half of Conn. 

Joint sovereignty over Ireland for the space of two years.
