Beartaíodh ar eagrán den amhrán a sholáthar ar an mbonn gur amhrán neamhfhoilsithe de chuid Eoghain Rua is ea é. Níor thángthas ach ar aon chóip amháin den amhrán sna lámhscríbhinní. Tá sí le fáil in ARÉ 23 O 74 (1383) 1, i lámhscríbhinn a scríobh an scríobhaí Seán Baróid sa bhliain 1816. Ba as Ceann Toirc, i gCo. Chorcaí, don Bharóideach.1 Scríobh sé ARÉ 23 O 74 (1383) le linn dó a bheith i bPríosún Chorcaí i gcaitheamh an tsamhraidh agus an fhómhair 1816 de réir na gcuntas air.2 Is í ARÉ 23 O 74 (1383) an t-aon lámhscríbhinn atá againn óna láimh.3 Tá dearmad amháin léirithe i leagan amach na cóipe ar an gcéad leathanach (ARÉ 23 O 74 (1383) 1). Tá an chuma air gur fhág an Baróideach l. 29 den amhrán ar lár ar dtúis ach gur thug sé faoi deara é.Scríobh sé an líne ar thaobh an leathanaigh chéanna (ARÉ 23 O 74 (1383) 1) le comhartha don léitheoir go raibh an líne úd le cur isteach tar éis l. 28 den amhrán.Item Dánta deoraíochta: ábhar aistí filíochta a chum Eoghan Rua Ó Súilleabháin thar lear(Eighteenth-Century Ireland Society, 2017) Ní Íceadha, MáireTá cur amach againn ar Eoghan Rua Ó Súilleabháin mar fhile Seacaibíteach, scríobhaí cúramach, theagascóir agus spailpín fánach. Is féidir a áireamh ar fhianaise théacsúil cúig cinn d’aislingí a chum Eoghan Rua gur chaith an file tréimhse thar sáile. Is iad na haislingí sin ná ‘Ar maidin inné cois cé na slimbharc’, ‘Ceo draíochta’, ‘I Sacsaibh na séad’, ‘Cois taoide maidean gréine’ agus ‘Ar mo thaisteal lá fómhair’.1 Nochtar sna haislingí sin gur fhág an tréimhse a chaith Eoghan Rua i Sasana a lorg ar a shaothar fileataItem 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 CouncilThis 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.Item The digitisation of Irish manuscripts: Beyond and beneath the visible image(Firenze University Press, 2022-06-30) Ó Macháin, PádraigThis 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.
