Saothrú na Gaeilge scríofa sna Déise aimsir an Drochshaoil
(Leabhair na Linne, 2017) Ó Macháin, Pádraig
Analysis shows Irish scribal tradition in Co. Waterford to have been a late development, and to have peaked 1820-50 as a result of political and social influences. The work of one scribe shows him writing Irish texts in English script for a patron who was unable to read Irish. This discovery may have implications beyond this particular time and context.
Observations on the manuscript sources for the Dánta grá
(Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 2017-11) Ní Mhurchú, Síle
This paper identifies the manuscript sources of the hundred and six dánta grá (love poems) edited by Tomás Ó Rathile in Dánta Grádha (1926). The contexts of the poems in the earlier manuscript sources (i.e. manuscripts written up to the beginning of the eighteenth century) are discussed, with particular emphasis on those manuscripts in which dánta grá and other poems on love or related themes are written together in clusters. Some general observations on the manuscript transmission of the poems are offered also.

Cáit Ní Dhonnchadha: idir shamhail agus ghníomhaí na hAthbheochana
(Comhar Teoranta, 2018-11-30) Ní Ghearbhuigh, Ailbhe; Higher Education Authority
Tá an aiste seo bunaithe ar an ábhar atá i leabhar gearrthóg a bhain le Cáit Ní Dhonnchadha, deirfiúr Thorna (Tadhg Ó Donnchadha), atá le fáil mar earra neamhchláraithe i measc Bhailiúchán Thorna I Leabharlann Boole, Coláiste na hOllscoile, Corcaigh. Is mian liom spléachadh a thabhairt ar an méid a bhain sí amach le linn thréimhse na hAthbheochana, agus go háirithe sna blianta 1904-1913, an tréimhse atá i gceist san ábhar iriseoireachta sa leabhar gearrthóg. Díreofar ar na gnéithe seo a leanas dá saothar go háirithe: an pháirt a ghlac sí i ‘dtaibhléiriú’ an náisiúin, a cuid iarrachtaí chun smaointe féintuilleamaíocha a chur chun cinn, agus an ról lárnach a bhí aici i bhforbairt agus i gcur chun cinn na camógaíochta. Is éard a bheidh á áiteamh agam ná gur minic í ag feidhmiú go siombalach mar íomhá idéalach de bhanúlacht na hÉireann ach go n-aimsíonn sí a guth féin trí mheán na hiriseoireachta in An Claidheamh Soluis agus in The Irish Homestead agus ina cuid gníomhachais ar son na camógaíochta. Bhí Cáit ina hidirghabhálaí tábhachtach idir gluaiseachtaí éagsúla agus is féidir an nua-aoiseacht ailtéarnach a shonrú san fhís a bhí aici don tír.
The art of the slender line
(Presses Universitaires de Caen, 2019-12-31) Alcorn, Ann
This article examines aspects of Dr. Françoise Henry’s work on early Irish Christian art, particularly abstractive qualities found in illuminated manuscripts of the 5th to 7th centuries, which she claimed were a key in revealing knowledge of contemporary medieval Ireland, that the fusion of cultures between the existing indigenous people of Ireland and the incoming Christians was revealed through connections with other intellectual artforms, including music and literature. However, the relationship between Christian iconography and liturgy has not yet been fully explored. Work by recent scholars is widening discussion on these manuscripts not simply to ascertain their contemporary religious meaning but also to analyse their place in early medieval society as a whole, and to incorporate the modern viewer as an integral part of interpretation.
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword: Peadar Ó Gealacáin and the survival of the Gaelic Irish literary tradition
(Departamento de Filologia Espanola, Moderna y Clasica, Universitat de les Illes Balears, 2020-02-09) Dawson, Ciarán
As we advance through the 19th century in Ireland, the Irish Gaelic Literary tradition, one of the oldest in Western Europe, found itself in danger of extinction. The failure of the Irish language to find foothold in the towns and cities, and the subsequent failure of the language’s literary movement to transition itself into the printed mode, left the literature and poetry locked within the oral and manuscript traditions. With the ethnic cleansing of Ireland by Westminster well under way, first through forced emigration and then through famine, a small group of scribes set themselves the mammoth task of preserving this national treasure by travelling the country and writing down the songs, poems, and prose which were the result of centuries of literary effort on the part of the native Irish. By the end of the period the population had fallen from almost 9.000.000 at its height to less than 4.000.000: with no monoglot Irish speakers left. However due to the efforts of this small group of individuals we retain most of our literary wealth. This work tells the story of one of them, Peadar Ó Gealacáin
A Prague poem on purgation? Five languages in a seventeenth century Irish manuscript
(Ulster University on behalf of Societas Celto-Slavica, 2021) Ó Donnchú, Ken; Fomin, Maxim
The 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.

The digitisation of Irish manuscripts: Beyond and beneath the visible image
(Firenze University Press, 2022-06-30) Ó Macháin, Pádraig
This paper outlines the indebtedness of current digital capture, processing and display of Gaelic manuscripts to scholarly innovators and pioneers of the nineteenth century. It then reviews highlights of the deep-digitization project, Irish Script on Screen (), which was launched in 1999 and continues today. It is shown how current developments in spectroscopy and multi-spectral imaging allow us to complement and build upon traditional digital techniques and display.
The Book of Uí Mhaine: An interdisciplinary analysis of the materiality of the Gaelic manuscript tradition
(MDPI, 2023-07-15) Biolcati, Veronica; Wilson, Meghan; Fiddyment, Sarah; Unitt, Richard; Connelly Ryan, Cynthia; Hoffmann, Anna Grace; Gillis, John; France, Fenella; Ó Macháin, Pádraig; Iacopino, Daniela; Irish Research Council
This paper presents the findings of the first multi-analytical investigation of the Book of Uí Mhaine, one of the largest Gaelic Books surviving from the medieval vernacular period. A combination of protein analysis, point X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), multispectral imaging (MSI), point Fiber-Optic Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS) and point Raman spectroscopy was used to perform a systematic investigation of the Book of Uí Mhaine’s constituent materials, including parchment, inks and pigments. The analysis revealed that the parchment was made of calfskin, both blunt tools and Pb-containing materials were used for ruling the pages throughout the manuscript, and iron-based inks were used to write the content of the book. The decoration was restricted to the initial letters and rubrication across the body text. The decoration color palette was limited to yellow and red, comprising arsenic-, mercury- and lead-based pigments. A copper-based green pigment was found only on one folio. The scientific knowledge acquired through this multi-analytical approach complemented a substantial corpus of knowledge already built by Gaelic scholars, paleographers, codicologists and conservators. This work not only allowed for the consolidation of existing information on methods and materials used for the production of medieval Gaelic manuscripts but also laid the basis for future comparative work with other contemporary traditions in Ireland and Europe.
