Get PDFAuthor examines references to Armenia in Early Irish and other sources in his paper on ‘Armenia in Ireland: Indo-European Cognates, Medieval Legends, and Pseudo-Historical Accounts’. He begins by investigating the manner in which Armenian linguistic material was used by early Celtic scholars in their work on Indo-European reconstruction and proceeds to survey a range of Celto-Armenian isoglosses. He concludes by presenting works of eighteenth century Irish antiquarians who sought to discover the roots of the race of the Gaels in Armeni

A Prague poem on purgation? Five languages in a seventeenth century Irish manuscript
Get PDFThe history of the Irish Franciscans in continental Europe has been the subject of much scholarly investigation, which has focused mainly on the renowned Louvain college. Although the Irish Franciscans in Prague were less prolific than their Louvain compatriots, the Prague house, active for over 150 years, nevertheless produced many works, ranging from original theological treatises to copies of grammatical and historical texts, both in Latin and in the vernacular. This paper will examine a text from UCD Franciscan Collection MS A 32 f.5, a single paper folio which preserves the only known example of the Czech language in a Gaelic manuscript. The content of that folio sheds light on the relationships between the continental houses, and highlights the more quotidian and less-vaunted aspects of the lives and work of these exiled Irish men of God. The poem in question, entitled ‘Freagra ar et cætera Philip’ (An Answer to Philip’s Et Cætera, FCP hereafter), centres on the ‘evacuation’ difficulties of one Philip Ó Conaill, the hardship this has caused those in his company, and the advice given to Philip on how to cure his ailment. In literary terms, FCP exemplifies the strong interest of the Irish literati at all stages in so-called Rabelaisian humour, and burlesque literature. While the poem itself is unlikely to be added to the canon of Irish literature, nevertheless a number of aspects of its contents are intriguing, and invite investigation and restrained speculation as to the context of its production

IN VERITATE FIRMATUR SOLIUM: THE CONCEPT OF RIGHTEOUS RULING IN EARLY IRELAND AND EARLY KIEV RUS
Get PDFThis article is in Russian. It describes the manner in which the concept of righteous ruling survived in early Irish wisdom-literature. Mainly concerned with such texts as De duodecim abusivis saeculi, Audacht Moraind, and Tecosca Cormaic, a good deal of attention is devoted to the concept of iustitia regis and fír(inne) flathemon. As these are the central principles of the wisdom-text genre, the descriptions represent a detailed exposition of the characteristics of a righteous ruler. The author focuses on such topics as the creative consequences of the just ruling and the destructive consequences of the unjust one, both in Hiberno-Latin and in Early Irish sources. The ethical notions pertinent to the texts of the genre are also dealt with. They are not necessarily Christian, although modern scholarship tends to connect the “righteous ruler” concept exclusively with Christian morality. Towards the end of the work, the author brings some light to bear on the problem of the concept’s origin and its genesis, its Christian editing and its synthetic (native Irish-cum-Christian) character. The final passages are devoted to the fate of the concept of the righteous ruler as developed by Irish clerical scribes in the works of authors of Carolingian Europe and those of early medieval Kiev Rus. The analogies and ideas outlined were not necessarily borrowed from a common source: their provenance in sources such as The Life of Charles the Great by Einhardt and The Instruction by Vladimir the Monomachus may be cultural and typological
