PREFACE
This volume closes an undertaking begun more years ago
than I care to reckon. It would be tedious to offer excuses
for the long delays which have interrupted its progress. I
should like, however, to say a word in apology for one of its
many shortcomings. A complete edition of the Dindshenchas
ought obviously to include both the prose and the metrical
versions, the more so that the prose is in part anterior to
the verse : the latter is, in fact, as is explained in my Intro-
duction, to some extent founded directly upon the prose.
The reason for the procedure adopted in this edition is that
when it was first undertaken the Prose Dindshenchas had
just been published by Whitley Stokes in the Revue Celtique,
and it would have seemed presumptuous for a novice to offer
a fresh edition of material which had recently been handled
by so eminent a scholar. There was nothing for it but to
assume that anyone who might wish to study the verse would
keep beside him Stokes' edition of the prose. It is, however,
unfortunate that Stokes neglected almost entirely the older
recension of the Dindshenchas, that of the Book of Leinster,
and also adopted a method which obscured the true order of
the later recension, that of the Rennes codex and of most
other manuscripts. It is to be hoped that some day another
scholar will publish an edition of the prose and verse together ;
if my attempt to prepare the ground is of some assistance in
his task, I shall be well satisfied.
The Glossary appended to this volume makes no pretence
to completeness. It is intended mainly as a help to students
pending the publication of the Royal Irish Academy's
Dictionary. Words which are sufficiently illustrated in the
viii PREFACE.
instalments of that Dictionary already published, or in
Windisch's Worterbuch, or in Meyer's Contributions to Irish
Lexicography, are as a rule omitted. At the same time, I
have thought it worth while to include examples of many
common words whose various uses seemed to require fuller
illustration than those authorities supply. In marking the
genders of nouns, I have tried to follow the Middle Irish
usage, so far as this could be ascertained : the neuter, being
in the twelfth century already obsolescent, is only marked in
cases where it is actually found in my text. The Glossary
has also been used to call attention to rectifications of the
text and translation made in the long list of Corrigenda.
The Indexes of Personal and Place Names are, it is hoped,
nearly exhaustive; in the identification of places I have had
to rely as a rule on the works of 0 'Donovan, Reeves, and
Hogan, with occasional additions and corrections by recent
writers, and a few suggestions of my own. A full inves-
tigation of the whole available material is very badly needed,
but it could only be carried out by a combination of literary
research and field-work, organised on a large scale.
I had hoped to add to my Introduction a chapter on
metres, but have never been able to find the time required
for an adequate treatment of the subject.
I have inscribed on another page the name of Robert
Atkinson, at whose suggestion, or rather command, this work
was first undertaken. He was in no way responsible for the
faults of plan and execution of which its author is pain--
fully conscious. Such as it is, let it be an offering to the
memory of an inspiring teacher and a great scholar.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
TO
THE DIND8HBNCHAS.
TODD LECTUUE SERIES, VOL. XII. B
I.— THE MANUSCRIPTS.
§ 1. The Dindshenchas has been handed down in two
recensions. Of the earlier, in its complete form in verse
and prose, the sole surviving representative is preserved in
the Book of Leinster (L), written about 1160. It occupies
pp. 151-170 and 191-216 of the lithographed facsimile.
Parts of the prose sections of the same recension survive
in two fragmentary MSS., both probably of the fifteenth
century, Rawlinson B. 506 in the Bodleian Library (Bd.)
and the Gaelic MS. xvi (also called Kilbride 12) in the
National Library of Scotland (Ed.). Besides the prose, Bd.
has also the poem Teniadr V; Ed. has five poems, Temmr V,
Loch Garman (part), Eithne (= Cam Furhaide), Tonn
Chlidna, and Tuag Inhir (part).
§ 2. The following 13 manuscripts contain more or less
complete copies of the second recension, both prose and
verse : —
1 B = the Book of Ballymote (Royal Irish Academy
23. P. 12), pp. 349-410 of the facsimile.
— the Rennes manuscript, ff. 90-125.
= the Book of UI Maine (R.Ir.Ac, Stowe D. II. ly
fe. 143-169.
= the Book of Lecan (R.Ir.Ac. 23. P. 2), pp. 461-525.
= the Yellow Book of Lecan (Trin. Coll. Dubl
H. 2. 16), pp. 438-455 of the facsimile.
= R.Ir.Ac, Stowe D. IL 2.
= R.Ir.Ac, Stowe B, II. 2. A fragment.
= R.Ir.Ac, Stowe B. IIL 1.
= Trin. Coll. Dubl. 1322 (H. 3. 3).
= Trin. Coll. Dubl. 1295 (H. 2. 4), pp. 462-590, an
18th century copy of B.
11 Hg = Trin. Coll. Dubl. 1289 (H. 1. 15), pp. 409-532;
another 18th century copy of B.

Small groups of poems belonging in the main to the

15 E = Trin. Coll. Dubl. 1436 (E. 4. 1), pp. 85-88.
16 H3 = Trin. Coll. Dubl. 1286 (H. 1. 12), pt. 2, pp. 97-
end; a copy of E.
17 X = R.Ir.Ac, 23. N. 11, pp. 17-26.
A few detached copies of single poems occurring in other
manuscripts have been mentioned in their places.
§ 3. It will be convenient to give here brief descriptions
of the above manuscripts, ignoring 10-13, 16, and 17 as
unimportant, before entering on a discussion of the contents
and arrangement of L.
B. — The Book of Ballymote was written about the year
1400 : see Atkinson 's introduction to the facsimile for
particulars as to the date and the scribes. A leaf is missing
after p. 406 of the facsimile : the old foliation, probably due
to the original scribe, passes from 226 to 228.
Aspiration is marked by tiny dots, which are often
invisible in the photographic reproduction, and in the MS.
itself are often hard to recognise with certainty. Long
vowels are regularly left unmarked : on the other hand the
vowel i is frequently distinguished by a diacritic stroke in
order to prevent confu^on between in and m, etc
R. — This manuscript has been described by Dottin in Rev.
Celt. XV. 79, seq. The Dindshenchas occupies ff. 90-125.
Stokes thought that this section ''was probably written in
the fourteenth or fifteenth century" (Rev. Celt. xv. 272),
and Meyer (Todd. Lect. xvii, introduction) is of the same
opinion. There is no scribal note that throws any light
upon the date. The copy of the Dindshenchas is the work
of a single scribe, except the last page, as to which see V, § 2,
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 5
infra. Two folios have been lost between f. 114 and f. 115
of the present numeration : (so Dottin, ut sup, ; Stokes, in
Rev. Celt. xv. 274, allows for the loss of only one folio, bnt
a calculation of the amount of material wanting and of the
number of lines per folio proves that Dottin is right).
The Royal Irish Academy possesses a .set of photographs
of this copy.
M. — The copy in the Book of Ui Maine was written in
1394 by Faelan Mac Gabhann. It is fully described in an
article in Eriu x. 68, seq., where I have shown that the
21 articles following Druim Dairhrech are an interpolation,
mainly in prose, drawn from a source which did not belong
to the Second Recension, but was closely allied to Bd.-Ed.
Most of these articles are repeated by the scribe in their
proper place according to the order of the Second Recension,
but a few {Boand, Sinann, Loch Garman, Cam Furhaide)
appear only in the interpolation (both prose and verse). The
three articles following Ath Luain are in a different hand
from the rest and of later date. The first of these, on Tuaim
Da Gualann (Tuam), is not found elsewhere : as much of this
as is decipherable is printed in the Addenda to this volume,
p. 116, infra.
M has further a kind of appendix in which are mixed up
with other matter three poems belonging to the Dindshenchas,
on Aenach TJdibad, Ailech III, and Loch Riach. The first of
these does not appear in any other copy of the Dindshenchas :
it will be found in the Addenda, p. 115, infra.
The appendix ends with a copy of the poem by Gillananaem
6 Duinn which is printed in Eriu x. 76-89. I have since
collated two other copies of this poem : see p. 81, infra.
The scribe of M is abominably careless. Of all texts of
the Dindshenchas this has the lowest intrinsic value.
Lc. — The Book of Lecan was written, mainly in the years
1417-8, by three scribes, Gilla Isu Mac Firbhisigh, Murchadh
riahhach 0 Cuindlis, and Adam 0 Cuirnin. The copy of the
Dindshenchas is the work partly of Mac Firbhisigh (pp.
461-509), partly of 6 Cuirnin (pp. 510-525). Certain
articles which are peculiar to this manuscript — Cam Fraich,
6 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
Ard na Riag, Inher Muada, Cam Amalgaid, Mag Tihra,
Sliah Gam, Ess Ruaid II (poem only), and Loch Gile — are
all concerned with places in or near Co. Sligo, and not far
from Lackan on the river Moy, where most of the volume
was written. They are somewhat later in point of language
than the main body of the Dindshenchas, and it seems probable
that they were composed by a native of Sligo, very likely
by one of the MacFirbis family. They cannot, however, be
ascribed to either of the scribes of Lc, as the text which Le.
presents abounds in corruptions and must therefore be
derived from an earlier manuscript. Some local hand may
also be detected, perhaps, in the rearrangement of articles
89 to 108 (see p. 42, infra), which cannot easily be accounted
for by supposing an accidental disturbance of the order by
displacement of the leaves in Lc.'s model. The traditional
arrangement may have seemed unsatisfactory to an editor
or scribe who was intimately acquainted with this western
region.
The manuscript is in excellent preservation and the hand-
writing of both the scribes of the Dindshenchas is firm and
clear, except that in MacFirbis' part it is often difficult to
distinguish m, in, and ni. The text is deplorable, being
inferior even to that of Lc.'s near relative, S.
Y. — This copy constitutes one of the many disconnected
fragments which together make up the (so-called) Yellow Book
of Lecan — a title which by right applies only to a small
fraction of the whole collection. The copy of the Dindshenchas
is imperfect : more than half is wanting. What remains fills
9 folios, now numbered as columns 401-436 (== pp. 438-455
of the photographic facsimile). The script seems to belong
to the fifteenth century, but there are no notes to give infor-
mation as to the date or the scribe's name. It is the work
of one hand, excepting the article on Sliah Bladma and the
verse (not the prose) of Geilhe, which are added in a later
hand, on two strips of vellum. The text of the Dindshenchas
has been corrected throughout by a late hand — perhaps Charles
0 'Conor, who has similarly maltreated the section of the
MS. containing coll. 573-958. His corrections sometimes
obliterate the original reading.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 7
Y has lost its first folio and now begins at § 26 of the
prose introduction to Tenuiir : see Rev. Celt. xv. 282. The
lost leaf probably contained (1) the prose paragraph Senchas
Bind ^renn : (2) verse, Temair V : (3) prose, '^Temair dono,"
ol Amairgen fri Fintan, etc. : (4) verse, Temair I : (5) prose,
''Temair dono" ol Armairgen .i. mur Tea, etc., = Rev. Celt.
XV. 277, § l-§4; (6) verse, Temair II; (7) prose, Dindgnai
Temrach: Nemnach, etc., = Rev. Celt. xv. 280, § 5-§ 25.
This is the order in SS2S3H, which differs from the arrange-
ment in BR (Rev. Celt. xv. 277, seq.) and from that in M
(:firiu x. 71-2).
S. — Stowe D. II. 2, vellum, ff. 90 (the number 33 is repeated,
so that the subsequent numbers are too low by 1). One leaf
has been lost after f. 7, one after f. 33, one after f. 39 [38],
and one after f. 44 [43]. The volume is the work of a single
scribe, Muiris 0 Clerig, who gives his name on f. 88 [87] f°.
(see part iv. 298). He may be Muiris mac an Ghiolla riabh-
aigh ua Cleirigh, saoi hi senchas 7 hi leighionn, who died in
1573 (F.M. v., p. 1674). Otherwise, the date of the manu-
script is not easy to determine : the script is calligraphic,
ornamented with coloured initials, no doubt imitated from some
older exemplar; but the spelling points to the sixteenth or
seventeenth century, e.g., hhfwil, caroid {= carait), faighis
(= foa/is)^ flegh (= fledh), mogh (= mod), ghenamh (= dhen-
amh). The volume belonged formerly to Charles 0 'Conor of
Belanagare, who has written some notes in the margins and
has made on the last page an entry recording the death of
his father, Donnchadh mac Cathail dig, on January 30*^, 1750,
in his 76^^ year, and his burial at Ballintubber, and giving
his pedigree up to Cathal croh-derg 0 Conor. The distinctive
feature of this MS. is the series of supplementary articles
which are printed (with certain omissions, duly noted) in
part iv. 268-310.
Sg. — Stowe B. II. 2, vellum, ff. 8. A fragmentary copy,
containing only the beginning of the Dindshenchas : written
perhaps in the fourteenth, certainly not later than the
fifteenth century. The recto of f . 1 is almost entirely illegible,
the verso of f. 8 completely so. Scribe unknown.
8 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
S3. — Stowe B. III. 1, paper, ff. 104. The date is given by
a note at foot of f. 89r° : Ag sin a Mheic Con i Dhomnaill
na tri line do iarrais oram cto scriohhadh duit. A mBaile
Meic Cathail damh occa sccriohhadh an 28. Decimhir M.dc.l.iu.
1654. This note is in a beautifully neat script, beyond doubt
the same as that of the Academy's copy of O'Clery's Leahhar
Gahhdla, classed 23 K 32, and also of 23 D 17. According
to 0 'Curry (MS. Catalogue, first series, vol. i, p. 84) it is
the hand of Cu Coigriche O'Clery, whose autograph will
(dated 1664) is contained in 23 D 17, p. 271.
O'Clery wrote about a third of the volume: fP. 2v°, 15r°
ad calo. to 18v°, 22v° to 46, 87r° (part) to 89v°, 102v° to
103r° (ds. of Leige); and also added the saints' names in
margin of f . 104. The rest of the manuscript is in the hand
of a pupil who tries to imitate his master. O'Clery has
corrected his work here and there.
E.— Trinity College, Dublin, no. 1436 (E. 4. 1), pp. 85-88,
vellum. These are two leaves bound by chance into a medical
manuscript. The handwriting and spelling indicate the
fourteenth or perhaps the fifteenth century. There are ten
articles, both prose and verse : Sliah Bladma (acephalous).
Fid nGaihle, Mag Liphe, Berha, Moin Gai Glais, Fafann,
Almu II, Alend, Carmun, Boand II (four st., incomplete).
These are in the regular order, except for the inversion of
Boand 1 and II, which is also found in S. The two leaves
are therefore a fragment of a complete copy of the
Dindshenchas.
The relation of E to other copies is peculiar. Its most
remarkable feature is the inclusion of a long passage in the
poem on Carmun, which is also in L, but not in any other
member of the Second Recension. At other points also in
this poem E agrees with L against all other copies : see
critical notes on lines 4, 9, 19, 21-24, 37, 39, 45, 51, 53-56,
58, 59, 68, 84, 85, 90; and compare further the readings at
SI. Bladma, 4, 8, 17-20, and Mag Life, 2.
On the other hand, E has close relations with the 8 -group
of manuscripts, particularly with S : see VI § 3. As already
remarked, E agrees with S in placing Boand II before Boand I.
A comparison of the prose versions in E with those of L,
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 9
Bd.-Ed., and R (representing the Second Recension) yields
the following results : —
Sliah Bladma. — The part that remains agrees with Bd.-Ed.
Fid nGaihle. — Nearest to L, but agrees in one point with Bd.-
Ed. against LR, and in two points with R against
L Bd.-Ed.
Mag Life. — Nearest to R, but omits R's last paragraph, as
do L Bd.-Ed.
Berha. — Nearest to R, with omission of one line, omitted also
by L Bd.-Ed.
Moin Gai Glwis, Faffann, Almu II, Alend. — Agrees with R.
Of these, only Almu II is in L, none in Bd.-Ed.
Carmun. — Agrees with R, except at end, where E has three
lines which are in L but not in R (following in
Herinn foraih); E also agrees with L in adding da
feraih after mochleitJie, and Etgud ecruthach 7 maile
after rig occa.
H.— Trin. Coll. H. 3. 3 (1322), fP. 72, vellum. Written
mainly by Sean O Cianain, at Ard Choill : see note at
f. 14&y : Misi Sean 0 Cianain dosgriohh in dara la ria Notlaic,
et is olc Hum a thinnius ar medugud ag Sean 0 Maoldionaire,
San Ard Coill damJi. There are similar notes at 5az, 17az,
295z, 36&Z, 376z, 38&z. The illness of Sean 0 Maolchonaire
is mentioned again at 60&z. 0 'Donovan in his (incomplete
and unpublished) description of the Trinity College MSS. says
that this 0 Mulconry ''kept a celebrated school at Ardkyle,
near Sixmilebridge in Co. Clare, in the reign of Elizabeth.''
Sean 0 Cianain also wrote Rawlinson B. 506, see ZCP xii.
358. At 30bz there is a note Misi Tadg 0 Cienain, presum-
ably by a brother or kinsman of Sean 0 Cianain, and this
man may have written part of the MS. ; but, if so, his hand
is scarcely distinguishable from that of Sean.
Other scribal notes mention the names Cti Chonnacht
(46?)z), Corbmac (58az), Sean Mac Conmara (53aw), Domnall
Mac Conmara (58&z), Tadg 0 Duuthach, i.e. 0 Dubhthaigh
(lObz).
This is the ''vellum written about the year 1560 for John
0 'Mulconry" mentioned by 0 'Donovan in the Ordnance
10 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
Survey of Co. Londonderry, p. 223, which Stokes (Rev. Celt.
XV. 274, note) supposed to be separate MS. Stokes wrongly
ascribed H to the fifteenth century.
The scribe has certain peculiarities of spelling, which
must be taken into account in judging of variant readings.
He frequently writes e for a, as in ier, dieta, for iar, diatd,
etc. ; 0 for a, as in catho, athor, luon ; oa, om, for ua, uai,
as toath, toaith- -aois for -is (final), as gondaois = gontis =
earlier gontais; c for g, as arcot — argat; cc{h) for g(h),
as ceilcc = ceilg; p for h, as p<i = ha; p, ph, or u for h(h),
as curuut = corhat, feruip = feraih, diph — >dih ; q for cu
as qan = cuan; occasionally mh for m, as ainmb = ainm;
Id for II, as Maolsecnailld.
He is much given to adding otiose vowels after a final
vowel, -ai for -a, -ou for -o, etc. : even writing imnaireaii for
imndire. He often adds an otiose u, both medial and final,
writing gaurh for garh, cauire for coire ; one finds such lines
as la firu Boulc hautar and for mauco for ingenau, a relicc
nau rauth-Feniu. When a quatrain ends in the middle of a
line of the manuscript he will often fill up the blank by
repeating the last letter perhaps a dozen times.
S4. The vellum codex Stowe D. IV. 2 contains, on f . 55 v°
and f. 56 r° and v°, seven articles from the Dindshenchas,
viz. : f. 55, Lusmag (prose and verse). Dun mac Nechtain
(prose) ; here at least one folio is missing ; f . 56, Ath Luain
(verse, acephalous), Mag Lena I (pr. and v.). Loch Berg (pr.
and v.), Sliah Mairge II (pr. and v.), Crechmael (pr. and v.).
The last of these is in a different hand from the rest : the
scribe appends a note at foot of f . 56 v° : I Mainistir Chilli
Cormaic dam. Misi Seaan mac Aedacain qui scrihsit. Cell
Chormaic (Kilcormick) in Ui Failge is otherwise known as
Frankfort in King's County. The scribe belonged to the
well-known family of MacEgans, as to whom see the Intro-
duction to the facsimile of Leabhar Breac, the index to
Abbott-Gwynn, Catalogue of Irish MSS. in Trinity College,
Dublin, and 0 'Donovan, Tribes and Customs of Hy Many,
p. 168.
The contents of D. IV. 2 are partially described by Meyer
(Rev. Celt. VI. 173, seq.). He refers the manuscript to the
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 11
late fourteenth century, but it more probably belongs to the
fifteenth century.^
The articles seem to be selected quite arbitrarily, as they
do not follow the order observed in any copy of the
Dindshenchas.
The text is nearest to that of B : see critical apparatus to
Crechrmel, 4, 9, 10, 19 (pt. iv. 22) ; Loch Derg, 18, 23, 41, 48,
50, 56, 67, 72, 87, 93, 100, 103 (pt. iii. 338, seq.).
II. — First Recension : (a) The Dindshenchas in the Book
of Leinster.
§ 1. In the present arrangement of the manuscript, which is
followed in the published facsimile, the Dindshenchas occupies
pp. 151-170 and 191-216; between pp. 170 and 191 twenty
pages of other matter are interpolated. It cannot, however,
be assumed that this was the original order. The book, as a
whole, had suffered severely before it came into the hands
of Edward Lhuyd, in or about the year 1700. Much of its
original contents was missing, many leaves were crumpled,
many were detached from their conjugates, some were partially
obliterated. Loose leaves had, no doubt, been displaced from
their proper positions, and attempts to restore the original
order were not wholly successful. We must allow for the
possibility that not only single leaves, but whole gatherings,
may have lost their right place. The ten folios (pp. 171-
190) which interrupt the sequence of the Dindshenchas form
a continuous and self-contained section of the MS. They
are not connected by contexture of leaves with what precedes
or with what follows, and may have been transferred bodily
by some rearranger to their present position. It seems more
likely that such a displacement occurred than that the scribe
turned from his work on the Dindshenchas to write these
leaves and then returned to the Dindshenchas.
* In the introduction to his edition of Merugud Uilix Meyer dates
the codex 1300 a.d., relying on an entry on fo. 1. But the figures
*'MCCC" are not, as he asserts, part of the Latin note in the hand
of the text: they are entered separately in a different and, apparently,
a later hand, and may safely be ignored.
12 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
Further, it has long been recognised that the order of the
Dindshenchas itself is wrong at two points. The first half
of the poem on Brug na Boinde is on p. 164, the latter half
on p. 211; and the poem on Berha, which begins on p. 216,
is completed on p. 191. A closer study of the contexture of
leaves, and of the script, will brinsr out some other points
deserving of consideration.
Pp. 151-154 are conjugates of 143-146; their position is
therefore secure.
Pp. 155-158 (two detached leaves) follow these vv^ithout
break of continuity between page and page. P. 158 ends
with a blank space. So far all is in verse.
Pp. 159-160 begin the prose. This leaf is conjugate with
165-166, but 165 begins with an acephalous article, so that
we must mark a gap between 160 and 165.
(Pp. 161-164 are out of order : see below.)
P. 167 continues 166 ; 167-168 is a detached leaf and 168
ends with a completed article, so that there may possibly be
a igap between this leaf and the next, but I see no reason to
assume that such a gap exists.
Pp. 169-170, another detached leaf (here follow the ten
interpolated leaves, pp. 171-190).
Pp. 215-216, a loose leaf, must, as we have seen, be placed
before 191. As 215 begins in the middle of a prose article
{Carmun),'^^ we must mark another gap before this leaf.
Pp. 191-202 consist of three pairs of conjugates (191-2 =
201-2, 193-4 = 199-200, 195-6 == 197-8).
Pp. 203-6, two detached leaves.
^a The article begins with, the paragraph Sengarman tanic i ndegaid
and above it is written vel ita. In MSS. of the Second Recension this
paragraph is preceded by four others (as in Rev. Celt. xv. 311) founded
on 11. 17-76 of the poem on Carman, and vel ita is written over par. 5,
as in L. I assume that a leaf is lost before p. 215 which contained
these paragraphs. Thurneysen (Heldensa'ge) does not admit the loss of
a leaf here. If he is right, we must suppose that paragraphs 1-4 of the
Second Recension were added by the Reviser, and must explain the vel
ita as intended by the scribe to distinguish the prose from the metrical
version which follows. This seems unlikely, yet we have a somewhat
similar ease at p. 193a where the dindshenchas of Fornocht is given both
in prose and in verse, and over the prose is written vel alitor, though the
prose precedes the verse.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 13
Pp. 207-8 are conjugate with 211-2.
Pp. 209-10, a loose leaf, ending with a blank space.
From 215 to the end of 210 there is no break of connexion
between page and page.
Pp. 161-4 form two detached leaves, but their contents are
continuous, and we have seen that 164 must immediately
precede 211 : these four pages must therefore be placed
between 210 and 211.
Pp. 213-4, la loose leaf, but 213 continues 212. The
Dindshenchas ends with 214.
Thus we arrive at the following order : —
I. 151-158. All verse.
II. 159-160, — , 165-170. All prose except for the poems
on Lagin, and a few scattered stanzas : see p. 16, below.
III. — , 215-6, 191-210, — (?), 161-4, 211-214. Mainly
verse, with a few prose articles : see pp. 17-19, below. This
section includes several poems, especially on pp. 205-8, which
do not properly belong to the Dindshenchas.
It is possible that II and III originally stood in reverse
order, the metrical part being completed (except for Lagin)
before the prose was begun. There is nothing dn the con-
texture of the leaves to disprove this supposition.
§ 2. The handwriting offers two points of interest.
(I). The script of pp. 161-4 is remarkably fine and
careful : the letters a and d are particularly noticeable, and
the sharp angles are finished with more care than in any
other part of the Dindshenchas. There are scarcely any other
leaves in the whole manuscript which equal these two in
penmanship; accordingly one of these leaves was chosen for
photographic reproduction in the facsimile, where it gives a
somewhat too fiattering impression of the volume as a whole.
Also the vellum seemsi to me to be somewhat smoother and
finer than that employed for the rest of the Dindshenchas.
When one compares these two leaves with what precedes and
follows, one is at first disposed to think that they are the work
of a different scribe; but a careful examination of the lower
part of 161a, where the lines are crowded and the hand
deteriorates, has convinced me that these pages are the work
14 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
of the same scribe (''A") who wrote the rest of the
Dindshenchas, both prose and verse, with the exception of
the columns which I have next to mention.
(2). The second column of 208, with all that follows in
the present order of pagination down to the end of 214, is
in a hand ('*B") markedly inferior to that of the main scribe,
even when his work is most hurried and crowded. This hand
is shaky and uneven, and offers a striking contrast to the
beautiful clearness and regularity of the script in 161-4. The
difference between the columns written in this hand and those
that precede cannot be attributed to any roughness of the
vellum. The contrast between the fine penmanship of the
first half of the poem on Brug na Boinde on 164 and the
conclusion in B's hand on 211 is particularly striking.
I believe that A broke off at the end of the first column
of 208, and that B continued the task of transcription to the
end of 210. At this point A inserted the two leaves 161-164,
which he had for some reason written with more care and
probably at a different time from the rest. B then resumed
work on the pair of vellum sheets which he had been using,
completing a poem left unfinished by A on p. 164, and
carrying on to the end of the verse Dindshenchas. If the
prose originally followed the verse, as has been suggested
above, A must have relieved B after p. 214.^
§ 3. We have now to see what further light can be obtained
from an examination of the contents of the various sections
into which the L-Dindshenchas falls. We shall have to
distinguish, not as at first three sections, but five or perhaps
six. I proceed to list the whole contents of the L-Dindshenchas,
verse and prose, noting the province to which each place
^ On making a fresh examinatioD of the whole manuscript I find
similar apparent changes of hand on p. 21h (the poem A Emain, after
the first three words), p. 22 (the poem TJgaAne uallach, all but the first
three words), pp. 27-30, 37, 39-^2, 50 (Haec sunt nomina mrorum
componentium lapides)^ and 51 h 38 to 52 h 25. All these passages seem
to be in the hand of 13 : but I now think it possible that B is merely A,
writing under specially bad conditions. If so, there is a surprising
difference between his best work and his worst. The poem Slan seiss
on 495 and the tale Luid Feidilmid EechtcUd on 51a seem to be written
by another hand, distinct from A and B.

belong. Many of them have not yet been identified, but we
may in uncertain cases be guided by the position they occupy
in the Second Recension, which is arranged, as we shall see,
though imperfectly, in geographical order. We have also
evidence as to the provinces to which unidentified places
belong in O'Duinn's poem (see p. 77, below). But O'Duinn
is by no means a reliable guide : he is certainly mistaken in
placing Mag Muiresce (62) in Meath and Benn Boguine (40)
in Connaught.
Loch Berg and Ath Limin are here treated as belonging
to Connaught, because they are so regarded in the Second
Recension.

§ 4. It is evident that there is no continuous geographical
arrangement throughout the series as a whole. But it is also
clear that there are signs of attempts at such an arrange-
ment. Thus in I, 5 places in Munster (7-11) are followed
by 8 in Connaught (12-19). In this section there are
altogether 9 Connaught names, 5 from Munster and 2 from
each of the other provinces. In III (a) (omitting the prose
of II for the moment) Leinster predominates. The beginning
of this section is lost : possibly it contained a Meath series.
As it stands, it begins with 35 places, of which 3 are doubtful
(89, 101-2), and the rest (counting Boand: the river rises
in Kildare) are in Leinster. Of the next 8 places (122-129),
7 are in Munster, 1 in Leinster (124); then come 6 scattered
places; then come 5 in Leinster, then 8 scattered over the
five provinces. Here the scribe interposes a number of poems
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 21
which do not belong to the Dindshenchas, and then adds
3 places which seem to close a section of the work. In this
section there are 42 places from Leinster, 11 from Munster,
4 from Connaught, 3 from Meath, 2 from Ulster, and 5 are
uncertain.
In Section III (b) (pp. 161-4) there is no trace of
geographical order, but when we pass to III (c) we find a
marked preponderance of Connaught names; 11 out of 16
belong to that province, not counting Loch Erne and Ess
Ruaid, which are on the confines of Connaught and Ulster.
§ 5. The facts stated above (§ 4) seem to indicate that
the verse-Dindshenchas in L is derived from several separate
documents, among which one (Ilia) was mainly concerned
with Leinster, and another (IIIc) mainly with Connaught.
If the whole collection had been made by a compiler who
intended to put together the Dindshenchas of all Ireland,
without having any previous partial attempts to work upon,
he would hardly have begun in the abrupt and random fashion
in which the scribe of L attacks his task. There has been a
process of accretion comparable to that by which Irish
dictionaries have been formed. One compiler found and put
together glossaries of separate texts some of which followed
the order in which excerpts were made, others the order of
the letters of the alphabet; then a later compiler, like
0 'Davoren or O 'Clery, attempted to digest the whole on the
alphabetical plan ; the final result being a mixture of system
and haphazard. It can hardly have been the scribe of L who
thus formed the Dindshenchas trenn from smaller units. At
first sight one is tempted to give him the credit and to
suppose that the blanks which he has left at the foot of
p. 158 and p. 210 mark the end of two of the documents
which he was utilising. But this supposition cannot well be
reconciled with the conclusions arrived at below (p. 67) as
to the relations between the Reviser's model and the text of
L. It will theire be shown that the Reviser had before him
a text in many points different from and superior to L : he
cannot have worked directly from L. If the scribe of L
collected for the first time five or six different documents, we
should have to suppose that the Reviser had access to all of
22' GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
these and made (on the whole) better use of them. This is
a very improbable supposition. We must then assume that
there existed a collection prior to L, from which L and the
revised text of the Second Recension are independently
derived. There is definite proof of this. In the poem on
Inher Ailbine there is a hiatus of four lines (the latter half
of one stanza and the first half of the next) which is common
to L and to the whole Second Recension. It was therefore
already in the MS. to which both the scribe of L and the
Reviser had access.
As to the blanks in L noted above, the poem on Maistiu,
which is the last entry on p. 158, is unfinished, and the blank
which follows may, as Thurneysen suggests, have been left
by the scribe with the intention of completing the poem from
another copy. The blank at the foot of p. 2106 remains
unexplained; but it may be noted that at other points the
scribe left blanks for no apparent reason. On p. 163 there
was a vacant space after the poem on Dim Mdsc, which was
filled by a later hand with the paragraphs on Duma Oencu
and other places. So too at the foot of p. 201& the entry
about Cnoc Bafann is a later addition on a space originally
left blank. There is also a smaller vacant space at the foot
of p. 168a.
§ 6. We have now to consider the prose section. Like the
verse it shows a half-hearted attempt at a geographical
arrangement. Beginning with Temair — a choice which
suggests that the compiler had in view a collection represen-
tative of all Ireland — it proceeds with a series of 13 places
in Leinster. Then after a gap in the manuscript we have
5 places in Connaught (35-39), and from 53-63 another series
of 11 Connaught names (but 60 is a doubtful case). From
65-78, all are in Munster, with the probable exceptions of
69 and 76.
It can hardly be doubted that the prose Dindshenchas has
been put together largely by making abstracts of the corres-
ponding poems. Some of the poems appear from their
language to be older than the prose {e.g., those on Ath Liac
Find, Ailech I, Lumman Tige Srafdin, Benn Etair I). Some
are ascribed to authors of the early eleventh or even of the
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 23
tenth century {e.g., AcJiall, to Cinaeth ua Hartacain, t974),
and we have no reason to put the composition of the prose
so early. In several cases the prose compiler quotes the first
line or detached stanzas of a poem which belongs to the verse
Dindshenchas, and which is evidently his source : the instances
are Loch Garman, SUah Bladma, Mag Raigne (all on p. 159),
Dun Mdsc, and Faffann (p. 160), Nemthenn (p. 165), Echtga
(p. 170), besides Rath Chndmrossa and Cend Finichair (p.
200), which are included in one of the verse-sections. Also
the prose of Loch Riach ends with reference to a (lost) poem
beginning Rochuala cocad n-amra. AVe may add two cases
where the prose refers to a poem which no longer exists in
L, but is found in the Second Recension : these are Fich
Buana (p. 166) and Findglais (p. 169). In these instances,
however, the prose-writer seems to draw directly from the
well-known tales Fled Bricrenn and Aided Chonroi rather
than from the poems which he mentions. Speaking generally,
when we have both the prose and the verse legends of any
place in L for comparison, we find that the prose is usually
no more than a brief extract from the poem, while in most
cases the poem contains much that is not to be found in the
prose. It is true that the prose often gives names and
incidents not derived from the verse : such additions are no
doubt drawn from the compiler's own knowledge of the
common stock of legendary lore.
§ 7. There are 64^'' poems in the verse of the L-Dindshencha&
for which there is no prose equivalent, and there are 30 proses.
for which there is no corresponding poem. As both prose
and verse are defective, owing to losses of folios, we may
presume that many of the missing equivalents would be
supplied if the manuscript were still complete. But it would
be a mistake to assume that the original collection possessed
both verse and prose for every place on the list. Comparison
with the Second Recension shows that 25 out of the 30 proses
just mentioned are there provided with metrical versions.
Most of these, however, as Thurneysen rightly insists, are
clearly later work, and are probably due to the Reviser. The
-a Not reckoning the poems referred to below, p. 25, nor two or three;
which appear in L, but not as part of the Dindshenchas.
24 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
relation between these poems and the prose is the converse
of that which we find in L. For the most part they are
evidently based on the prose, adding no more to its data
than some metrical padding. We must infer that the
Reviser in these cases found no poem in the older recension
and himself supplied a metrical version.^ The poems in the
original Second Recension (ending with Bile Tortan, no. 167
of the list on p. 48, below) which are not also found in L are
61 in number. For many of these no equivalent exists in L's
prose in its present state. But if we assume that the early
prose Dindshenchas, when complete, included those legends
which are found in the Bd.-Ed. recension, though no longer
in L, then we have prose equivalents for all but 13 of these
61 poems. The 13 which remain unaccounted for are :
Temair III, Brug na Boinde I, Inher nAilbine, Dun Crim-
thainn, Temair Luachra, Mag nAi, Duma Selga, Ath
nGrenclia, Carraic Lethdeirg, Lecht Oenfhir Aife, Loch Da
GahaVy Mag Lena, and Bile Tortan : and in the first two
instances, L has a different poem on the same subject.
§ 8. As already stated, L has 64 poems without an equi-
valent in its prose.*
For 13 of these prose versions are supplied by the Bd.-Ed.
recension : these proses therefore (or most of them) probably
existed also in L in its complete condition. For most of the
remaining 51 poems the Reviser supplied a prose version, just
as he supplied metrical versions where these were lacking
in L; or else he adapted versions then existing in the First
Recension, but now lost.
' The four proses which want a verse equivalent in L, and were
omitted by the Reviser in the original draft of the Second Recension^
are Sruh Bo, Mag Tardga, Seig Mossad, Loch nOirtsen.
The case of Ceilbe is peculiar. The prose in L is introduced by the
words ut ante, uel aliter, as if the scribe had already copied an entry
about this place. Was this a poem, which stood in the leaf that has
been lost before p. 215? If so, it was omitted by the Reviser, wha
only copied the prose legend. In two late MSS. it was fitted with a
poem by an author of the sixteenth century.
In two more instances places which have both verse and prose
legends in L are omitted from all MSS. of the Second Recension.
These are Cenn Finichair and Lumman Tige Srafdin.
* Note that some of the proses accompany the poems (see list on
pp. 17-19). In no case are these repeated in L's prose-collection.
(Thurneysen's **Bo")-
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 25
Some of the L-poems were, however, passed over by the
Reviser. Thurneysen supposes that these did not belong to
the original Dindshenchas, but were added by the scribe of
L (Heldensage, 38-9 and 43). It seems, however, quite as
likely that the Reviser excluded them, at least in some cases,
because they did not conform to his stricter conception of
the term dindshenchas.
On the same ground a number of poems are omitted from
the present edition which the scribe of L has inserted among
the true Dindshenchas poems. Most of these occur between
p. 204 and p. 208 of L. Thurneysen treats them as part of
the collection, but they cannot be brought within any definition
of the term dindshenchas, however loosely interpreted. I
regret, however, that the poem on the legend of Boand (pp.
208-9) has also been omitted. It ought to have been included
in my second volume, after Boand II.
III. First Recension : (h) Bd.-Ed.
§ 1. Two MSS., Rawl. B. 506 (^'Bd.") and Kilbride XVI
(''Ed.") contain a recension of the prose Dindshenchas,
differing both from that of L and from the Second Recension
in contents, in arrangement, and in text. Both are
fragmentary; they supplement each others' deficiencies to a
considerable extent, but the full list of the original contents
remains a matter of conjecture. The contents of Bd. and
those articles in Ed. which are not found in Bd. have been
edited by Stokes, Folk-Lore, III (1892), pp. 467 seq., and IV
(1893), pp. 471 seq.^ A description of the state of both
manuscripts, with conjectures as to their original contents,
will be found in Stokes, ut sup., and in Thurneysen 's
Heldensage, pp. 39-43. In an article contributed to iEriu X,
68-74, it has been shown that in the Dindshenchas in the
Book of Ui Maine (M) there are interpolated some 20 articles,
the text of which approximates to that of Bd.-Ed. For
purposes of comparison with the other recensions I append a
table of the present contents of both manuscripts, and show
the correspondences with the M-interpolation,.with L (prose
and verse), and with the. Second . Recension. .. - :-■■; -■

28 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
It will be seen that the surviving part which is common
to Bd. and Ed. is arranged in both in the same order, except
that Tuag Inbir is placed in Bd. before Cleitech, in Ed.
before Benn Boguine. Further, the text of the two manu-
scripts agrees so closely that it is clear that we have to do
with two fragmentary copies of one document This assumption
is confirmed by the fact that the M-interpolation has six
items which are in Bd. but missing in Ed., and seven which
are in Ed. but missing from Bd.
When the Bd.-Ed. text is compared with the prose of L
and of the Second Recension, in the articles which are common
to all three, it is found as a rule to be much closer to the
former than to the latter. In fact, in a large proportion of
cases Bd.-Ed. and L are practically identical, apart from
minor additions and omissions : whereas Rev. is usually
differentiated by adding (or less frequently, by omitting)
aliter versions of the legend, or by retelling in different words
the versions which it has in common with L and Bd.-Ed.
On the other hand there are many instances of agreement
between Bd.-Ed. and Rev. against L. In an article contributed
to Hermathena (1932) I studied the relations of the text
common to Bd., Ed., and the M-interpolation with the prose
of L on the one hand and with that of Rev. on the other.
The conclusions reached were —
(i) that Bd.-Ed.-M derive from a text (/3) which was itself
not a complete copy of the Dindshenchas, but a selection
based on a manuscript of the First Recension (a), other
than L;
(ii) that p, although an off-shoot of the First Recension,
represents a later stage of the tradition than L, containing
certain additions and developments, some of which were
probably already present in a;
(iii) that the Reviser's work was based on a, though he
used it rather as a quarry for material than as a model.
(Note that the symbol p was in the Hermathena article
employed otherwise than in the present volume, in which it
is used to denote the common ancestor of B and R.)
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 29
IV. — Second Recension.
§ 1. The compiler of the Second Recension had a stricter
notion of the meaning of the term dindslienchas than the
first compiler, and his work is throughout more systematic.
He brings together the prose and metrical versions of each
legend, usually separated in the older arrangement, always
putting the prose first, and introducing it with the unvarying
formula: ^X unde nominatur? ni insa.' Poems which did
not conform to his definition he seems to have omitted on
principle, and this is no doubt the reason of the exclusion of
several legends included in the First Recension. When either
a pros© or a metrical version was wanting, he seems to have
supplied the deficiency from his own resources (see II, §§7, 8).
Further, it is clear that he intended from the first to follow
a geographical arrangement (and it may be noted that the
additions made in later copies of the Second Recension follow
the same principle, with few exceptions). A\Tien he found
clear traces of an attempt at geographical sequence in the
verse of the earlier recension he has preserved its order, as the
following examples will show.

Thus the Reviser has preserved all the longer sequences
in the older verse recension,® interpolating, however, a few
places according to his own ideas of geographical fitness.
This principle has determined the arrangement of the first
114 numbers of the first draft (BR), which are distributed
according to provinces as follows. First come 7 places in
Meath, then 32 (counting Bomid) in Leinster. Next we have
20 places (nos. 44-64), all in Munster, except 48 (Mag Eaigne)
and 55 {Cenn Cumg), which are in Leinster, and 60 {Srub
Brain), as to which see Heldensage, p. 492. Then come 31
places (nos. 65-95) in Connaught. After these no. 96 {Druim
Criaich in Meath) is inserted, out of geographical order.
Then 16 places (nos. 97-113) mostly in Ulster, but 100 {Ath
nGrencha) is probably in Meath and one or two more are
doubtful. Here the compiler's procedure becomes more
difficult to follow. As to the 32 places, nos. 114 to 145 (at
'At one point, from 132 to 137 (Mag Findahrach-Inber Bicne), the
Reviser has followed the order of L^s prose.
32 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
which point the Second Recension seems ordginally to have
ended) it is to be remarked, first, that only one (114) occurs
in L; secondly, that most of the places, so far as they have
been identified, seem to belong to Meath, but that there is an
admixture of names from all the other provinces. We may
assign to Meath with more or less certainty the following :
Tailtiu, Odha, Loch Da Gahar, Benn Chodail (?), TlacJitga,
Mag Breg, CleitecJi, Cerna, Irarus, Mag Findahrach, Gdirechy
Trdig Tuirhe, Bri Leith, Tethha, Loch nAindind, Druinu
Svximaig, Dun Mac Nechtain ( ?), Bile Tort am. : in all, 18
places. To Ulster belong perhaps 6 places, Sliah Fuait, Sliab
Callann, Inher Cichmaine (?), Fich Buana (?), Lia Linga-
dadn (?), Inter Bicne, of which only 3 are certain. To
Connaught we may assign at most 3 places, Moin Tire Ndir,
Odras, Cl.oenloch. Only three, Sruthar Matha, Luihnech and
Loch Seta, probably belong to Munster, and two, Liismag ( ?)
and Mag Lena, to Leinster.
There is thus a marked predominance of Meath names.
"Why did the Reviser thus turn back to his starting point?
A reason suggests itself when we refer to what is said (II § 7)
of the sources of his compilation. It is there assumed that
for the most part he either (a) took the poems which he found
in the older recension, or (&) composed fresh poems by
versifying the prose of the older recension, when this con-
tained no corresponding poem. But he made little use of
the second method until he had advanced some way in his
task. Out of the first 91 places celebrated in the Second
Recension, in its original form and omitting later additions
(and also omitting Ceilhe, which had at first no metrical
version), there are only 12 not represented in the verse of L,
namely, Inher Ailhine, Dun Crimthainn, Mag Mugna, Lock
Dachaech, Tonn Chlidna, Crotta Cliach, Temair Luachra,
Findglais, Moenmag, Mag nAi, Duma Selga, and Loch ConJ
'' And some of these probably had their places in the folios which
I assume to be lost before p. 215 of L. On the other hand, the poem
on Almu in the Second Recension is quite different from that in L,
and the Second Recension adds alternative poems on several places
besides those in L
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 33
It is only after No. 98 (Benn Boguine) that the Reviser
begins to add numerous poems versifying L's prose legends
or dravi^ing from his own resources. These are at first
concerned with places in Ulster, which province is, as we have
seen, poorly represented in L. Afterwards (from 117 onward)
he seems to have turned back to the remaining prose legends
for which the earlier recension had no verse equivalent, and
to have given them a metrical form. The greater number of
these were, as has been remarked, attached to places in the
province of Meath.
§ 2. The table which follows shows the contents of all
MSS. belonging to the Second Recension, with the exception
of such as are mere copies of other extant MSS., and also of
V and X, which are late and valueless. MSS. which contain
short excerpts from the Dindshenchas, without regard to
order, are not included (see p. 4). The columns are spaced
so as to show correspondences and differences of arrangement.
The numbering in the first column relates to the complete
list : that in the second column is confined to the original
contents of BR, which I regard as the first form of this
Recension.

V. Grouping of MSS. of the Second Recension :
(a) Arrangement.
A study of this table at once suggests certain inferences.
§ 1. All these manuscripts belong to one recension,
arranged in a sequence which in the course of time has under-
gone certain disturbances.
§ 2. By the test of arrangement alone certain groups of
manuscripts may be distinguished.
BR. — These two had originally almost exactly the same
contents. But there now exists in B a hiatus between pp. 406
and 407 of the published facsimile, covering numbers 143
(end), 144, 147, 148, 149, and part of 150. All these numbers
are found in their proper place in the two late copies of B,
here called Bg and Hg, but they have not 145 (a late addition
to the collection) nor 146 (Odras), though this is found in
R Lc M Y S Sg H. Odras must therefore have been missing
from B. R has a hiatus comprising the end of 98, 99, 101,
102, and the beginning of 104 ; 100 and 103 are later additions.

Here follow the sup-
plementary articles,
printed part iv, 268-
310.
In these two cases the chasm is due to the loss of a leaf
or leaves of the manuscripts. There is another wide gap in
the series in R, between 110 and 119. This is not due to
the loss of a leaf of R, as 110 is followed on the same page
by 119. The solution of continuity must therefore be due to
the loss of two or three folios from R's model (fj), intermediate
between R and the common ancestor of B R (/?).
The last three poems in B are 162 {Druim Suamaig I), 165
(Dun Mac Nechtwin), and 167 {Bile Tortan). In R, the verso
of the last folio, numbered 125 v°, which is mainly but not
wholly illegible, consists of two columns. The first, written
in a small hand different from that of the rest of the R-
Dindshenchas, contains the end of Drvim Suamaig I, Druim
Suamaig II (not in B), Dun Mac Nechtain, and finally the
prose and first 9 stanzas of Tuag Inhir (113). The top of
the second column was formerly written on, but the writing
has been carefully erased, and a blank is left. The lower
part of the column is occupied by some entries of recent date.
Apparently this last page, 125 v°, either once contained or
was intended to contain the three final articles as in B. A
later scribe, desiring to make room for the second poem on
Druim Suamaig (which he found in some other source) and
F2
52 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
also for the whole article on Tuag Inhir (which is one of those
omitted in R in the long gap after 110), must have scraped
the whole page and set to work to rewrite it in a small script.
But for some reason or other he never completed the last
column, which should contain the end of Tuag Inhir and the
article on Bile Tortan.
It will be seen that BR differ from the rest both at the
beginning and at the end. All the rest (so far as they are
not defective) begin with Temair V, which is not found in
BR. At the end they have the differences and additions
shown in the list. Y has lost both beginning and end, but
it probably agreed with Lc S (see § 4). S^ being only a short
fragment its arrangement is uncertain.
§ 3. (a) Lc S S3 H agree (i) in having 70 {Sinann II), 73
{Medraige), and 87 {Loch Ce), which are not found in BRM,
and (ii) in presenting a conflate version of 132 {Sliah Fuait),
made up of seven stanzas from the long poem Sliah Fuait I,
which L alone has in its entirety, combined with the four
stanzas which form the version peculiar to BRM.
{h) Y S S3 H agree in giving 26 {Boand II) and 28 (Cnogha)^
which are not in BRM. It may safely be assumed that Lc
and Y, when complete, agreed in all these points with S S3 H,
against BRM.
§ 4. Comparison of the texts (see VI. § 4) shows that Lc Y S
form a closely related sub-group. Their similarity in point
of order is partly obscured by the loss of the beginning of
Lc and of the beginning and end of Y.
(«) Y S both place Boand I after Boand II (which follows
Carmun) and Cnogha after Nds : whereas in S3H Boand I
and II are placed earlier in the series, and Cnogha comes near
the end,
(h) LcS have the two poems on Sinann (69, 70) in reverse
order.
(c) Lc S both have Mag Lena II (145) : it is not found
in any other copy of the Dindshenchas, though it occurs in
two MSS. not belonging to the collection.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 53
(d) LcS have at the end six articles, 170-174 and 176,
which do not exist in any other manuscript of the Second
Recension.
We may probably assume that Lc originally contained
Boand II and Cnogba, placed as in Y S ; and that Y agreed
with Lc S as to Mag L^na II, and also as to the six articles
mentioned in (d).
The immediate ancestor of the group Lc Y S will be known
as e.
§ 5. (a) S3 H both place Mide (12) after Duma nEirc (6),
and introduce Boand II much earlier in the series than do
YS.
(&) They both place 27, 29-34, in the same order as in
BRM, after Slige Dala (68), while they put Cnogba (28)
much later : in S3 it stands after Mag Lena I (144), in H
after Fich Buana (138).
(c) Four poems, Tailtiu (131), Odha (135), Inher Cich-
maine (136), Loch Da Gahar (139), which in B R MLc S occur
late in order, are in S3 H brought back near the beginning ;
in S3 they are nos. 18-21, in H, nos. 15, 16, 17, 19.
(d) S3II agree against all other copies as to the order
of the last six poems. The recto of the last folio of H is
almost entirely illegible, but it is still possible to recognise
fragments of Lege, Odras, and J^o Rossa; while on the verso,
otherwise completely obliterated, the initial ''B" of Bile
Tortan is just distinguishable.
(e) S3H have a fuller version of Sruthar Hatha (134) in
11 stanzas : all other copies have only 4 stanzas.
(/) They both have the poem on Ceilhe (29), which is only
found elsewhere on a slip of parchment inserted in Y.
These facts make it necessary to recognise a common
ancestor of S3 and H, which we shall call ^, although both
have individual peculiarities (see &, c, above). How are we to
account for the dislocations of the earlier order which must
have existed in ^? As to the first case (&), the obvious answer
is that the leaves of ^ containing 27-34 had fallen out of
order. These articles would just about fill two folios of the
size of the Book of Ballymote. In regard to (c) however this
54 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
line of explanation involves difficulties. For if we suppose
the four articles Tailtiu, Odha, Inher Cichmaine, and Loch
Da Gahar (which fill about 3| columns of B) to have been
displaced owing to more leaves of Z, falling out of order,
how shall we account for the intrusion of Dun Crimthainn
in H between Inher Cichmaine and Loch Da Gahar ^. We
shall also have to account for the fact that 132-4 and 137-8
have not suffered displacement in either S3 or H, but occur
in the same relative position as in other copies. It is more
likely that the scribe of ^ deliberately corrected the earlier
order, as we find it in B R M Lc S. And in fact it needed
correction at this point, for the geographical sequence had
been badly neglected. From 129 {Benn Boirche, in Co. Down)
we suddenly pass to Tailtiu (Teltown, on the Boyne) and
return to Sliah Fuait (132), on the borders of Down and
Armagh. Next with 133 {Sliah Callann) we are in Co. Derry,
and then with 135 (Odha), back in Meath : 136 {Inher Cich-
maine) is somewhere in Ulster; 137 {Moin Tire Nair) seems
to be on the upper Shannon; 138 {Fich Buana) must be
between Armagh and the lower Erne ; and with 139 {Loch Da
Gahar) we are once more in Meath. The scribe of ^ appar-
ently endeavoured to cure this disorder by removing the
legends of places in Meath to the earlier part of the series,
which is occupied with this province. If this was his
intention, it was carried further by the scribe of H : for he
has similarly removed 9 further articles after Loch Da Gahar
(140-144, 147, 148, 150, 151). They are all, ,so far as they
are identified, places in Meath or Westmeath, but the positions
of Inher Cichmaine (136), Lusmag (140), and Benn Chodail
(141) are doubtful. Thus H begins with a series of articles
on 22 places, 18 of which are in the province of Meath. This
explanation, however, fails to account for the scribe 's placing
Dun Crimthainn (in Co. Dublin) and Inher Cichmaine
(probably in Ulster) in this series : it is also not obvious why
Cnogha (Knowth in Co. Meath) has not been transferred with
the rest of the group.
§ 6. We may summarise the results of this study of the
arrangement in the different MSS. (i) The earliest form of
the Second Recension is represented by B R. Its contents
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 55
were those of B before the loss of a folio after p. 406 of the
facsimile. There is a doubt as to one article, Odras (146),
which seems never to have had a place in B, although it is
found not only in R but also in Lc M S Sg H. If it had
stood in the common ancestor of BR (p) the scribe of B
could hardly have omitted it entirely per incuriam. Possibly
it was an early addition to )8 : if so, it was common to R's
immediate model (p) and to the common ancestor of Lc Y M
SS3II (y), which must have been in existence before the
year 1394 (date of M). The late position of Odras in y is
in favour of this supposition : the scribe of R must then have
transferred it to what he considered to be its proper place,
presumably for geographical reasons.
Excluding Odras, p contained 145 articles, and ended with
Bile Tortan.
(ii) In y Temair V was added at the beginning of the
series and Lege at the end. It is not likely that y was a
descendant of ^8.
(iii) The common ancestor of Lc Y S S3 H may be called 8.
In it were added three new articles — Cnogha, Medraige, Loch
Ce — and second poems on Boand and Sinann. None of these
five items is found in M. Also a longer conflate version of
Sliah Fuait was substituted for the three stanzas in B R, and
Boand was now placed after Carmun.
8 was at least as old as the early fifteenth century (date
of Lc).
(iv) The common ancestor of Lc Y S (e) added Mag
Lena II and six articles at the end : see § 4 (d). I hesitate
to assign Loch Riach to e, as it occurs in S in the supplement
at the end, which seems to have no connection with Lc or S.
e was earlier than Lc, therefore not later than the early
fifteenth century. It will be shown (p. 65) that an inter-
mediate link (A) must be postulated between Lc and e.
(v) The common ancestor of S3 H (0 added a poem to
the prose of Ceilhe, and gave a fuller version of Sruthar
Hatha. Z, was later than the composition of the Ceilhe poem,
which is attributed to Paidin 0 Maolchonaire, who died in
1543.

VI. Grouping of MSS. of the Second Recension:
(b) Texts.
We have next to consider how far the conclusions arrived
at in the last section are confirmed or modified by a study
of the texts of the different manuscripts. I propose to
examine successively the separate groups suggested by the
foregoing analysis, quoting a certain number of readings in
support of my conclusions. The full evidence which might
be given under each head would occupy too much space.
§ 1. — B R. These are certainly the most important
authorities for the fundamental text of the Second Recension,
and in dealing with poems not found in L I have generally
followed them, when they are in agreement, in preference to
the remaining copies.
I select (a) examples where B R agree against all other
copies, (6) those in which either B or R stands alone. I place
first the reading of BR, or of B or R singly, then those of
the remaining authorities.

It will be seen that R stands alone much oftener than B.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 59
Each of them, when unsupported, is wrong in at least nine
cases out of ten; but as B diverges much less than R from
the general tradition, its text is on the whole much more
likely to be correct.
§ 2. y and M.— (1) The facts stated in V, § 2, point to the
existence of a group including Y Lc M S Sg S3 H, deriving
from a common ancestor y. From this line of descent M's
pedigree must have branched off at a comparatively early
date. But the relation of M to the rest of the group is
complicated and somewhat doubtful. The interpolation in
M, which is discussed in an article in ]£riu, x. 72, seq.,.
makes it probable that the scribe, while taking y as his chief
source, also made use of a text of the Bd.-Ed. type. It has
been noted in § 1 (a) that M shows affinity with B R at certain
points : it also agrees with B R in presenting a short version
of Sliah Fiiait in 3 stanzas, while Lc S S3 H have a conflate
version in 11 stanzas (pt. iv, p. 166). Further, in the poems
Temair III and Temair IV, M is very closely related to B R^
as against the rest of the y-group. The readings of M, omitted
by an oversight from my critical apparatus, are given at
p. 120 of the present volume. For Temair III details have
been given in § 1 (a) above, showing that B R M have a version
which differs from other copies by its arrangement and by
its omissions.
In Temair IV, B R M omitted originally 11. 29-36 and 53-
68. These passages are supplied in R's margins by the later
hand which also added 11. 33-36 of Temair III. The text of
M agrees with B R at critical points in Temair IV, e.g., 11^
sochaide; 28, tuirem; 42, conddilte; 69, Anuall niuill; 15,
glan-mac. M agrees with B against R in omitting 77-80 and
105-112 : these lines are also omitted by some other copies.
In Temair I and II, and in the rest of the Dindshenchas^
apart from the interpolation, M occupies an intermediate
position between B R on the one side and the surviving
members of the y-group on the other. Instances of the
agreement of B R M as against the y-group are collected in
§ 1 (o^). It is to be noted that where B and R differ, M is found
agreeing with B much more often than with R. I give here the
main cases in which B M agree against all other copies, and
those in which RM stand alone, putting first the reading of

When the y-group is divided, M is often found agreeing
with Lc S against the rest, less often with S3 H. Its closest
affinity within the group seems to be with Lc.
§ 3. 8. — Our study of the order of the poems in V § 3-
has made it clear that Y Lc S S3 H form a well-marked group.
We may also probably add the fragmentary copies in Sg and E,
which, so far as they go, are nearest in arrangement and in text
to Y and S. Their readings may be compared with those-
of the rest of the 8-group in the following loci : —

The above examples show that both Sg and E are nearer-
to S than to any other copy, in regard to text.
62 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
E however has certain affinities with L. The most remark-
able point of agreement between the two is the long passage
Carmun 97-156 (part iii, pp. 10-14) which is found only in
these two manuscripts. See also lines 4, 9, 19, 21-24, 37, 39,
45, 51, 53-56, 58, 59, 68, 84, 85, 90. It would seem that in
this case the scribe of E has deserted his usual model in
favour of some manuscript of the L-recension. Yet he can
hardly have used L itself, as his text of this poem sometimes
agrees with other copies against L, e.g., at lines 2, 14, 47, 92.
Instances of E 's agreement with L in other poems will be
found in part ii, Sliah BladTna, 4, 8, 17-20 ; Mag Life, 2.
For the group as a whole, it will be sufficient to collect
the main instances occurring in part iii, where the S -group
(as represented in each case by its surviving members, and
apart from minor differences), agrees against B R M.
As in the last section, I distinguish (a) those cases in
which L agrees with the 8 -group ; (&) those in which L agrees
with BRM; and (c) those in which L is wanting. In each
case the readings of the 8 -group, with or without L, are put
first.

consisting of Y Lc S, the other of S3 H.
(i) Y Lc S are very close together, as the collation of their

here from the poems which survive in all three a few instances
in which they agree against all other manuscripts. I place
first the readings of YLcS, then those of the other texts,
disregarding minor differences.

64 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
(ii) In those poems which Y Lc S have in common, it will
be found that when Y differs from the other two, it is usually
supported by the majority of the remaining manuscripts;
whereas S frequently, and Lc still oftener, stand unsupported.
This shows that of the three Y best represents the original
tradition.
These general statements may be exemplified by taking
three successive poems from part iii, 110, et seq.
Benn Etair II.
Lc S agree against Y : 28, airdighail, airdirghail : airm-
digail ; 46, is : co ; 61, scath : cath ; 66, ruirmech : ruipmeadi.
In 28 and 61 Y is supported by most other MSS.
Y Lc agree against S : 10, irgna : idhna ; 22, dolaig,

Y S agree against Lc : 6, forha : formna ; 18, fogail :

Lc S V. Y : 19, CO ndeine : fo deime ; 27, maris dlecht :

case Y has the support of most other copies.

51, CO ^^ m hrdth-sa : co la hratha. In 18, Lc is supported
by one other copy.
In the latter half of the Dinclshenchas, which is wanting
in Y, the especially close connection of Lc S might be
illustrated by hundreds of examples. It is sufficient to refer
to a few of the more striking cases in pt. iv, where their
readings diverge very markedly from those of all other texts.
p. 14, Nemthenn, 21-22, rewritten; p. 32, Cam Furbaide,

p. 202, Gerna, 13-16, omitted; p. 224, Loch Seta, 5-8,
transposed; 5-6, altered.
It is evident that Lc S descend from e through a link (o-).
But further, it has been noted in I, § 3, that Lc contains several
poems peculiar to itself, and that these show many corrup-
tions, proving that another link (A) must have existed between
Lc and o-. The relations of the e-group may be represented
by a stemma :

66 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
§ 5. It has been shown in V, § 5, that S3 and H are closely
connected, by various points in the order of the poems.
Their readings agree very frequently against all other texts.
It will be enough to refer to my collations of the following
loci in Part iii : —
p. 6, 57, raga in) p. 16, 195, snuadh; p. 24, 315, righ oga

p. 460, 24, mmdm fir-Mainne ; p. 462, 38, riamh romeabuidh.
It would be easy to add to these examples indefinitely.
In spite of this general agreement, there is often a marked
divergence between the two manuscripts. They were both
written by men who were scholars as well as scribes, and as
such evidently considered themselves entitled not merely to
copy but to edit, and aimed at producing a text which should
be intelligible, even if they had to take liberties with their
models. They seem to have occasionally consulted other
manuscripts besides their principal exemplar, C For the
poem on Tailtiu (iv. 146) H departs widely from S3, and must
have used a copy akin to L, for it has 14 stanzas (11. 49-56,
85-88, 157-160, 189-196, 201-220, 225-236) found in no
other manuscript except L : one stanza (11. 221-224) is
peculiar to H. Although the scribes of S3 nowhere depart
so boldly from their exemplar, they frequently rewrite a line
more or less completely. For examples, see my collations
at iii. 26, 10; iv. 138, 66; 152, 84; 236, 30. A whole stanza
is added in S3 after Tailtiu 12 ; see iv. 414.
Apart from these more serious divergences, when S3 and
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 67
H differ, H is generally better supported by other manu-
scripts, especially by B and M, and is therefore probably
the truer representative of ^.
S3, like H, now and then agrees unexpectedly with L
against the other copies; perhaps the scribes had access to
a manuscript closely related to L which they occasionally
consulted. Instances of such agreement of L S3 are however
rare. The most important which occur in Part iii are these :
p. 82, 72, is tdinte ; p. 96, 19, ndocht ; p. 100, 17, rofich, rofigh ;
p. 114, 61, sciath; p. 128, 11, Le fri {f)laith; p. 130, 31, sain;
p. 166, 27, ddig; p. 260, 20, ha mac; p. 266, 1, cen dechair;
p. 330, 13, dag-mac.
Manuscripts in which the scribe allows himself such a free
hand must evidently be used with caution. Nevertheless, it
is often worth while to consider what sense so good a scholar
as Cucogriche O'Clery has made of a difficult passage.
VII. L AND THE Reviser.
§ 1. It has next to be considered on what principles we
are to rely in judging of the relations of the text of L with
that which underlies the various copies of the Second
Recension.
In the first place, it is easy to show that the Reviser did
not take L as the authority for his text. In many passages
he has preserved the correct reading where it is corrupted
in L. A small selection of passages will be enough to prove
tliis point. In each instance I give first L's reading, then
that of Rev. (as inferred from a collation of manuscripts
of the Second Recension).
Part ii, p. 20, 48, leth-hlai : haeth-hla (sic leg.) ; p. 22, 57,
dind : feaircZ (sic leg.) ; p. 24, 74, L omits ind rig dia leith ;

§ 2. There are also many cases where the manuscripts of
the Second Recension present corrupt versions of a text
which seems to be correctly given by L. In the following
examples I give first L's reading, then those of the Second
Recension :
Part ii, p. 50, 12, bith-glaine : huad gaire, harrhuidi;
p. 50, 14, pian: riad, riagh, ria; p. 58, 19, rothdid : rosaid,

§ 3. The facts noted in the last two paragraphs might be
explained by supposing that the scribe of L and the Reviser
worked from a common original, which is correctly repre-
sented sometimes by the one, sometimes by the other. But
this explanation will not account for the numerous instances
in which the difference between the two sets of reading'^ is
so wide that they caimot be derived from the same text. In
the following selection of examples the readings of L stand
first. I give first some cases where L's reading is corrupt,
and it seems probable that the Reviser, finding the same
corruption in his original, emended to the best of his ability :
Part ii, p. 40, 63, mrho comlond : nirh fhand a chomul ;
p. 66, 11-12, ingen is mathair co n-aeh I atJiair is mac co
rdor-[ ] : athair is mathair co n-aih \ ingen is hrdtkair
hldth-chain. The last syllable in L is erased and aeh supplied
in the margin. Apparently the word was illegible in the
archetype : Rev. has rewritten the line.
Part iii, 200, 14, riasiu adfeided miad [ ] : riasiii ademad
{atecmad) huaid miled. (The last word is illegible in 1j.)
p. 202, 45, is ferr domdreih : ferr do hantracht. (Read
d'aindrih.) p. 398, 26, hi crich Berre in mJbuanchend : hi
crich Ldigde na leihenn (na laech-hend). (Rev. alters to
correct the faulty metre. Read hi cocrich Berre). p. 456, 96,
etir mnae is muntir : rohdid in mnaVs a muiniir.
Part iv, 152, 95, Ratha i trenaih condagaih : Ferta cen
dor si drena {cen doirrsi chena-, co ndoirrsih trena, can doirsih
can trena/ib). L's reading may perhaps be right, but if so
I do not understand it, neither did the Reviser.
§ 4. Instances like these, which point to corruption in
the archetype, are by no means common. Much more
70 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
numerous are those in which L and the Reviser both present
quite grammatical and intelligible but widely different texts.
Ill such cases there is a probability, prima facie, that the.
original text has been altered by the Reviser rather than by
the scribe of L. For there is other evidence that the
Reviser considered himself entitled to take editorial liberties
for reasons of his own. Apart from his rearrangement of
the order of the poems, and his omission of certain poems, it
will be shown in § 7 that he sometimes abridged drastically,
and once at least re-wrote much of a poem which he found
difficult to understand {Ath Liac Finn).
The apparent motives for the minor liberties which he
seems to have taken with his text may be grouped under a few
heads :
(a) Metre.
The Reviser introduces rhyme or alliteration where these
are absent from the original text (assumed to be represented
by L) or alters the scansion. Examples (L's reading first) :
Part ii, p. 50, 2, ha gnim olc, ha domna Mr : i nDinn Big

Part iii, p. 16, 207-8, nach taidli tart I cen daidbri dia

to be Rev.'s reading : it gains alliteration, at the expense of
the metre.

p. 150, 9, olc lith : olc dil.
L's reading should stand: it is the contrary to fo lith.

p. 252, 135-6, luaidset din tslait I fuaigset, etc. : fogniset
gait 1 snisety etc.
The use of {f)uaigim (''bind") is peculiar; the substitution
of sniset involves the change in 135.

The form rosfuachtastar is strange, and perhaps corrupt,
but could not have developed out of Rev. 's reading.

p. 158, 177, rodaacM : imroacht.
(c) In a few passages the Reviser seems to think that some-
thing in the subject-matter needs correcting :
Part iii, p. 8, 85, A do trichat ceithri cet : Dd Uiadain
trichat tri cet.
Rev. seems to quarrel with the accepted date of S.
Patrick's mission : or else he is simply anxious to introduce
hliadain, ignoring chronology.

Gaihli gec-luain : dia cliu, fri cech luathgair luind, forad rig
CriiacJiain chleth-chuirr.
Here he brings the King of Connacht into a gathering of
Leinster princes. Cruachain (gen.) is not admissible for
Cruach(m or Cruachna.
p. 96, 5-12. These two stanzas are reduced to one by the
Reviser, who omits 5, 6, 11, 12, and places 7-8 after 9-10.
The motive for this procedure is obscure, but there can be no
doubt that both stanzas belong to the original poem, which
was probably not written for the Dindshenchas series.
p. 376. In this poem the tfuture tense is used in L in lines

The Reviser, misunderstanding the poet's meaning, sub-

stitutes the third person for the first, and alters line 4
accordingly. This makes innossa meaningless, and is incon-
sistent with lines 101-4.
p. 446, 81. Rogdid dih hen meic Mdgach : rockuindig dih
mac Mdgach. Stokes (Rev. Celt. xv. 479) alters rogdid Ceat
in the prose version to rogdid hen Cheit, relying no doubt on
L's reading; but the ''wife of Magu's son" is probably Medb,
who had given Conall land in Aidne (1. 7).
Part iv. p. 46, 67-8, garit 6 Chommur co Belt \ re tochell
re techtwirecht : im ddil mis, ha mor in mod, \ re tinol no re
telgod (etc.).
The place-names were probably unfamiliar to the Reviser :
see my note.
p. 68, 144, acht mac dia ngairthea Conaing : acht mad
Daire ocus Conaing. Rev. alters to bring in Daire : cf . Rev.
Celt. xvi. 153. L's reading is confirmed by BB 170a 59.
p. 148, 25-8. Rev. substitutes an entirely different stanza,
sacrificing an essential point in the narrative for no obvious
reason.
§ 5. There are two poems of which the Reviser seems to
have had before him versions which differed considerably
from L's original.
Part dii, p. 88, seq., Bairenn Chermain. For 11. 13-16 and
37-40 all manuscripts of the Second Recension present a
version quite different from that of L. Lines 29-32 are
differently placed. Different verbs are used in 30, 31, 34, 35,
36, 38. In 24, for L's Fognad duih dg is ernhas, the Second
Recension has readings which point to an original Snid uainn
re hdg re hernhas ; this however may be an attempt to correct
L's text.
Part iii, p. 200, seq., Mag Femin II. This poem evidently
was not written for the Dindshenchas collection, but in honour
of the Kings of Cashel ; it may date from about the year 1000,
judging by the linguistic forms. Lines 53-56 have been added
to supply an explanation of the name Pemen, as the
Dinshenchas formula requires. Lines 37-44 and 57-60 are in
L alone, and there are many other marked differences of text
between L and the Second Recension especially in 2, 3, 7, 10,
74 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 22, 25, 27, 28, 30, 31, 35, 36, 45, 47, 49, 50,
51.
§ 6. The text of the Second Recension contains many
stanzas which are not found in L. As a rule these are pious
additions at the end of a poem, which are obviously due to
the Reviser, and do not call for further comment. Except
for these the only omissions due to the scribe of L that I
have noted are the following :
Part id, p. 6, 73-6; p. 20, 37-40; p. 50, 25-8 (a quatrain
probably added by Rev.).
Part iii, p. 4, 21-4 (due to similarity of 17 and 21) ; p. 18,
211-12, 215-20 (see below); p. 230, 61-4 (due to similarity
of 57 and 61) ; p. 276, 17-20 (due to repetition of Dalo in 13
and 17).
Part iv, p. 46, 61-4; p. 62, 49-52 (due to similarity of
ingin, ingen, 48 and 52).
As to the passage iii. 18, 209-220, which is represented in
L by a single quatrain, it is to be noted that lines 217-220
are, as remarked in my commentary, probably an addition
due to the Reviser. The two preceding quatrains, though in
themselves unobjectionable, may very well be an expansion
of li's (single quatrain. They do not add to L's text any-
thing new : the Secht ngraifne of 211 have already been
described in lines 169-192, which the Reviser omits.
§ 7. Much more numerous and more important are the
passages in L's text which are omitted from the Second
Recension.
(a) The Second Recension presents in abridged form four
poems of which L preserves a fuller version. These are : —
Part iii, p. 2, seq., Carmun : in L, 78 quatrains, in the
Second Recension, 34. The Reviser gives in full the story of
the eponymous heroine, but omits as irrelevant most of the
description of the Oenach.
Part iv, p. 42, seq., Druim Criaich : in L, 52, Sec. Rec,
30. Rev. omits the last 76 lines, which the author, Cuan ua
Lothchan, wrote in honour of his patron, Maelsechlainn.
p. 146, seq., Tailtiu : in L, 58, in Sec. Rec, 43 (except in
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 75
H, which follows L). Rev. again omits Cuan's panegyric of
Maelsechlainn at the end.
p. 162, seq., ^iab Fuait : in L, 14, in B R, 3, in LCSS3H
(complete version), 11. The Reviser substituted for L's poem
a dindshenchas in three stanzas : the later manuscripts pro-
duced a complete version by combining this with a selection
from the longv^r poem.
(h) The Second Recension's version of Ath Liac Find
(iv. 40) is evidently an attempt of the Reviser to edit the
older version, found in L (iv. 36), in order to smooth away
its difficulties : see Commentary. (The second copy of this
poem in M, which in the main agrees with L, does not belong
to the Second Recension : see iEriu X. 70.)
(c) In Achall (i. 46, seq.) the Reviser has arranged the
stanzas in a sequence different from that in L (see Com-
mentary), and has also omitted, singularly enough, the three
stanzas which refer to the author, Cinaed ua Hartacan, and
his patron, Amlaib of Dublin. (This suggests that these
three stanzas were originally continuous.)
(d) A few stanzas occur here and there in the text of L
which are not to be found in any manuscript of the Second
Recension. Of these, some seem to have been added by the
scribe of L at the end of a poem. The only cases in which they
were probably part of the original text are the following : —
iii, p. 96, 5-12 : the Reviser has omitted 5-6, 11-12, and
inverted the order of the two remaining couplets.
iii, p: 202, 37-44, and p. 204, 57-60: L's text of 37-40 is
corrupt, but does not seem spurious.
iv, p. 66, 105-8, and p. 68, 157-160.
§ 8. On the whole, then, it appears that although the
Reviser did not hesitate to take editorial liberties with the
model which he found, by altering the arrangement, by
omitting, abridging, and emending at his discretion, still his
text is fundamentally the same as that of L. Accordingly,
we may accept his readings (as inferred from the various
manuscripts of the Second Recension) where they offer a
correct version of an original which is corrupt in L. But
where his readings diverge widely from those of L (as in the
76 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
instances collected in §§ 4 and 5), I regard them as arbitrary
emendations, and admit them only when L is corrupt beyond
restoration.
In my edition, I now think that I have treated L with too
much respect, and I have accordingly noted in the Corrigenda
a number of passages where the Reviser's readings are to be
preferred. But it must always be borne in mind that the
Reviser deliberately edited his text, whereas there is no
reason to think that the scribe of L tried to do more than
copy his original.^ It is true that he was an inaccurate
copyist, as Meyer has repeatedly insisted. Indiscriminate
criticism, however, does no more than shake one's faith in
the scribe : it affords no principle by which to reject or accept
his readings. Neither is it safe to treat metrical correctness
as an infallible criterion^, although it certainly is a most
useful guide. There are wide differences between one poem
and another in strictness or looseness of metre : there is no
invariable canon. Each poem must be studied separately
from this point of view, and I have shown reason to believe
that the Reviser frequently introduced emendations merely
to satisfy his own notions of metrical law.
VIII. O'Duinn's Poem.
§ 1. In the article in Hermathena (1932), already referred
to, I printed a long poem purporting to be composed in the
year 1166 by Gillanaemh Ua Duinn, which gives in a sum-
mary form the legends of 97 places, allowing as a rule one
quatrain to each place. Nearly all these places appear in the
Second Recension of the Dindshenchas, with the same legends ;
and the few which are not included irf the first draft of the
Second Recension are all to be found either in L or in
Bd.-Ed., namely, Cnogha, Seig Mossad, Sliab Cua, Cnoc
Tarhga; the only doubtful case is 0 'Duinn 's st. 101, which
9 Note, however, that he occasionally seems to know more than one
copy of a poem, and quotes variants, e.g., i. 48, 46, oruthaig (vel crichid) ;
ii. 24, 86, iidrena (vel dremwr superscr.) ; ii. 82, 41, nodasfail {vel saig) ;
ii. 84, 53-6, added in margin of L, not found in other copies' ; iii. 202,
40, trel>f(dt (vel gehait).
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 77
may correspond to L's Fert Medha (see M. Ds. iv. 366).
Lige Fintain is part of Luimnech (see Bd. 20, Metr. Ds. iii.
274) ; and Findloch is part of Ath Luain (see Rev. Celt,
xvi. 272). The poem is arranged in a geographical sequence
according to provinces. Beginning, like the Reviser, with
Temair, O'Duinn works through Meath (st. 5 to 27) and
Westmeath (st. 28 to 37). Then in st. 38 he says he will
visit the North after Tethba and Brega (i.e., Westmeath and
Meath : read iar tur Tetkha is Breg in huair), and there
follow 14 places in Ulster. Then (st. 53) he promises "a
guide to the sites of Leinster," which occupies st. 54-68.
Next we have senchas mor-ditidgim na Muimnech (st. 69),
ending with Loch Dergderc. At st. 85 we pass into
Connaught : read Rdnac co hEchtga (this should be marked
as Part Five of the poem). Thus the arrangement is more
systematic than the Reviser's, and shows a more conscious
reflection on the geographical distribution, though (as has
been remarked on p. 15 above) there are several errors about
particular places.
These considerations led me to suggest in my article in
]6riu X. 75 that O'Duinn worked on an early draft of the
Second Recension, represented by B R, whose contents he
summarised, selecting and arranging at his own discretion,
and it followed from this assumption that this Recension
must be earlier than 1166, the date of O'Duinn 's poem. A
closer comparison of O'Duinn 's work with the text of B R
on the one hand and with those of L and Bd.-Ed. on the other
has caused me to modify these conclusions. For it shows
that where the two Recensions differ in points of detail,
O'Duinn — so far as one can judge from his brief summaries
— is usually found to agree with the First Recension against
the Second. Further, where the two forms of the First
Recension differ, he seems to follow Bd.-Ed. against L. The
instances here collected are arranged in the order adopted
by O'Duinn.

Bd.-Ed. in combining Mag Breg with Temair-, so also does
M, while Rev. generally places it late in the list.
2. Port Ldirge. 0 'D. 74 has Congal Fomoir, where L Bd.-
Ed. Rev. all have Rot (or Roth) mac Cithamg. One copy of
O'D. (F) has Roth mac Riogadn.

L Rev., Ferchertne ; not in Bd.-Ed.
4. Cloenloch. O'D. 103, Glaen m. Ingair eigis Alhan;
L Bd. Rev. call him cennaige.
§ 2. We may infer from this analysis that 0 'Duinn had
before him a text of the Dindshenchas which closely resembled
that of Bd.-Ed. Of the contrary instances given under B
above, 2 and 3 are trivial ; in 4, 5, the article is missing from
Bd.-Ed., so these cases prove nothing as to the relation
between Bd.-Ed. and 0 'Duinn. There remain only two
instances where 0 'Duinn agrees with the Reviser against
Bd.-Ed., compared with 19 instances of the contrary relations.
There are also the four instances under C, in which 0 'Duinn
differs from all versions of the Dindshenchas; but of these
the only one of much consequence is the substitution in
Port Ldirge of Oongal Fomoir for Roth mac Cithaing, which
is certainly puzzling.
0 'Duinn 's poem includes 18 places which are missing
from Bd.-Ed. ; but we are free to suppose that this is due
to the fragmentary condition of these texts. Only one article
iti Bd.-Ed. 's list is not represented in 0 'Duinn, namely,
Laigin. Perhaps he was satisfied with his reference to eolas
dind Laigen (st. 53).
I do not find any clear evidence that 0 'Duinn made use
of the poems in either Recension ; and, as he omits 63 places,
which are in L's list, I infer that he worked upon a selection
from the prose of the First Recension, substantially the same
as Bd.-Ed. If this was so, his poem affords us the means of
completing Bd.-Ed. 's fragmentary list by adding the
18 places referred to above. They are these : Mag
Findahrach, Mag Lena, GdirecJi, Irarus, Ath nGabla, Loch
Silenn, Ailech, Madstiu, Moin Gai Glais, Belach Gahrdin,
Belach Con Glms, Lecc Thollchinn, Curn Ui Neit, Crotta
Cliach, Cam Feradaig, Lock Dergdeirc, Fert Medha ( ?),
Moin Tire Ndir. It must be added that 0 'Duinn 's notice of
Loch Silenn seems to refer to a legend quite different from
that which L has under Turloch SiUnne, and that Ath nGabla.
and Mag Lena are not in the L-Ds. as we have it.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 81
If the view here taken is correct, the geographical arrange-
ment of his poem must be independent of that adopted by
the Reviser; and it is improbable that the Reviser and
O'Duinn can be the same person (as I formerly suggested),
seeing that the order in the Second Recension is quite different
from O'Duinn 's.
§ 3. My edition of his poem was taken from the Book of
Ci Maine (M). I failed to notice that there are other copies
ill two of the Gaelic MSS. in the National Library of
Scotland, numbered XIX and XLII : see Mackinnon's Cata-
logue, pp. 137, 157. Both of these copies are acephalous :
XIX begins at st. 15, XLII at st. 56. Here follows a
selection from their readings, which in many cases confirm
the conjectural emendations made in ]&riu x. 76, seq., to
which I here add : st. 6, read Mw' Tea mnd Erimoin uasail.

X. Origins of the Dindshenchas.
§ 1. There is no means of fixing with precision the date
at which the collection was first formed. It is possible, as is
suggested on p. 21 above, that it grew out of a number of
shorter collections with a more local character.
The knowledge of the place-names of a particular neigh-
bourhood was from very early times an essential part of the
education of the higher orders of society. It had an obvious
military value. One of the first lessons that CuChulainn, the
typical warrior, has to learn is to recognise and name correctly
every point visible from the confines of Ulster (LU 5102-7).
92 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
Such knowledge is equally necessary to the poet. For him
every point of vantage is associated with a legend which it is
his business to know. This is well illustrated by the story
told about the ghost of Flann mac Lonain as an introduction
to one of the poems on Sliab Echtga ; see vol. iii, 532. In the
teaching of the schools, the Dindshenchas, as a combination
of history and geography, must have held a prominent place ;
according to the tract on the duodecim partes poeticae it was
part of the course for the eighth year (Ir. Texte iii. 50,
line 2). As an aid to memory, lays were composed for each
place, telling briefly its legend — or legends, for there was
often more than one to account for its name. The scholar is
asked by his master : ' ' How did such a place get its name ? ' '
He replies : ' ' That is easily told, ' ' and repeats the lay. The
places selected are usually those with which some incident in
the popular legends is associated. It may be a ford where
CuChulainn stood at bay, or a sid where Oengus or Midir
had his home, or a mountain where Conaire'.s enemies had
gathered to surprise the king. Or again, it may be a tale
centering round a lonely rath or sacred well, which is of
purely local interest and has not passed into the general
stream of legend that goes round all the provinces of Ireland.
But there remain many places not thus provided for, and their
people do not like to be left out of account. They demand a
story and a lay, and the poet must not admit that he is at a
loss. So, with the help of a fanciful etymology, he invents
a story, puts it into verse and adds it to his collection. Thus
the duhlmdi dindshencliais come to be regarded as a special
type of literature : see ds. of Carmun, 243.
§ 2. There were probably at first not one Dindshenchas but
many, each collected by a different school, and concerned
chiefly with places within the province to which the school
belonged. It is only later that some compiler has the idea
of gathering all the separate dindshenchassa into a single
collection. It was probably he who also bethought himself
of writing a brief prose summary for each lay, as a further
aid to the learner. Here the question of date arises : when
was this collection first put together? The verse evidently
belongs to different periods.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 93
I subjoin a list of poets to whom the poems named are
attributed in the MS S. : —
^Mael Muru (Othna), t887 : Ath Liac Finn (L).
•^Cormac mac Culennain, t908: Dun Cuirc (hardly
genuine).
Cinaed ua Hartacain, 1974 : Temair II (B R S S3), Temair
IV (all copies but L), Achall, Ochan (L), Brug
na Boinde I, Benn Etair I (L), Boand III (see
p. 25, above).
Mac Liac, tl016: Cam Conaill (L).
Cuan ua Lochain, tl024: Boand I (L ?), Cam Furhaide
(L), Druim Criaich (L), Tailtiu (L).
v/Plann Mainistrech, tl056: Ailech II (L). This poem, is
not part of the L-Dindshenchas. ^A^^-^- li^ -
Eochaid eolach ua Ceirin, fl. circa 1050 : Loch Gamian
(LS).
The dates of the following are unknown to me : —
Aed ua Carthaig:^° Mide (L).
Cormac fili : Temair TV (so L ; other copies attribute the
poem to Cinaed ua Hartacain).
Cti Arad : Ailech III (see my note, pt. iv. 403).
Fulartach : Carmun (L), Liamiiin (L), Sliah Bladma (L).
Mac Nia mac Oengusa : Brug na Boinde II, Nds (L).
Mac Raith ua Paain : Cenn Fehrat (L) (see my note, pt.
iii. 518, at foot; and Heldensage, 38).
Bard Maile : Tuag Inhir (L). .^\
lu ^^-- Sua- f.^^'iify^)
^^ Ik his Primer of Irish Metrics, p. 27, Meyer ascribes the poem on-
Mide (LL 199&) to ''Aedh Ollabhar ua Carthaigh, 12th cent." His
authority for the name and date of this poet is no doubt to be found
in O 'Curry's account of a poem in R.I. A. '23 M 23, p. 32, which he
attributes to ''Hugh Ollabhair O'Carthy, the chief poet of Connaght in.
the reign of Tor'logh mor O 'Conor, a.d. 115'6": see his (unpublished)
Catalogue of E.I. A. MSS., Series I, p. 67. If O 'Curry's dating of this,
poet and Meyer 's ascription to him of the poem on Mide were correct,
my arguments as to the date of the L-Dindshenchas would have to be
revised. But O 'Curry read his manuscript too hastily. It contains a
tract on the rights and obligations of the MacDermots of Moylurg

94 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
Nearly all these ascriptions rest on the authority of L
alone, and most of them relate to poems about places in
Meath or Leinster, the provinces in which the scribe of L was
principally interested. We may probably assume that Aed
ua Carthaig, Fulartach and Cormac fili were poets of one or
other of these provinces. Merely fictitious attributions to
Colum Cille, Finn mac Umaill, etc., need not be noticed here.
I have shown (pt. iii. 461) that the poem on Carmun must
have been written after 1040, and I have suggested that it
was composed for the Oenach held in 1079. If this assumption
is correct, it yields the latest date assignable on purely internal
evidence to any part of the verse-Dindshenchas in L, and it
would indicate that this collection as a whole, and the prose
text which was presumably written when the collection was
iirst formed, cannot be dated earlier than the close of the
eleventh century.
§ 3. We might hope to find other means of fixing an
approximate date for the collection if we could show that
parts of it are based on texts which can be dated with some
mhor ua Concliobhair airdrigli Eireann, et 6 Aodh mac Ceallaigli mac
Dubhda, etc., etc Et deirid priomlileabhair foirbhthe Eireann
gurab e adhbhar na socliar sin dfhaghail do Chloinn Maolruanaidli do
comhaidh as Riglieacht Connacht, et rocliomadar uaisle et airdrioghruigh
Leitli Chuinn et Connacht go huilidhe na sochair sin," etc. At the
end of the prose tract is added : ' ^ Et agso duain da dearbhadh doroine
ollamh Connacht .i. Aodh ollabhair .h. Carrthaigh : Ata sonn socliar na
Biogh [1'8 quatrains]." It is not stated here, nor does the language
suggest, that either the tract or the poem was written in the reign of
Turlough O 'Conor : on the contrary it is clear that the tract refers to
the rights which he granted as being of long standing. O 'Curry 's state-
ment that Aedh OUabhar lived in his rei,gn is merely a hasty guess.
In fact, in a later volume of the same Catalogue (H. and S. iii. p. 612)
he describes another poem in 23 L 17, f. 136a, Tosaoh feile fairsinge,
as written by ''Hugh 011(a)bhair O Carrthaoidh ollave of Cruachan in
praise of the hospitality of Tomaltagh McDermot, Lord of Moylurg,
about the year 14'00. " Professor T. F. O'Rahilly tells me that this
poem is elsewhere and with more probability attributed to Torna
O 'Maoilchonaire, tl46'8. However that may be, it is probable that the
scribe of 23 L 17 had reason to believe that Aodh Ollabhar lived in the
15th century ; and it is certain that O 'Curry had no evidence for putting
him into the 12th. Meyer added a fresh error by identifying this Aodh
Ollabhar with the Aed ua Carthaig who wrote the Dindshenchas poem.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 95
approach to exactness, and which can be shown to be later
than any of the poets in our list. But such exact dates are
hard to find. The sources on which the Dindshenchas draws
fall under various categories. Certain articles are founded
on quasi-historical documents such as Lehor Gahdla, the
genealogical tracts, the Lives of Patrick and other saints.
Much is no doubt derived from native folk-lore. The main
sources are, however, neither historical nor popular but
literary. The character of the collection as a whole is
secondary, not original : it is one of the epiphytes that grew
luxuriantly from the old stem of myth and saga, as the epic
period drew to an end, and literature from being creative
became parasitic. It is only the first category of sources that
offers much hope of finding a definite indication of date. Folk-
lore has none : and as to myths and heroic legends, the texts
are almost all much older than the eleventh century, and
therefore afford no help for our present purpose. Even if
we have reason to believe that the extant versions of one or
two of the tales which have been used for the Dindshenchas
are not earlier than the twelfth century, we get no clear
guidance; first, because the dating of such texts is at best
only an approximation within wide limits; and secondly,
because all these tales have been rehandled time and again,
and we cannot be sure in any particular instance that the
Dindshenchas has not borrowed from an earlier version than
any that we know.
Here follows a list of sources, with the names of the
Dindshenchas articles borrowed from them, wholly or in part.
Fuller particulars will be found in Thurneysen's Heldensage,
or in my notes in previous volumes : —
1. Aided Ailella. Source of Mag Luirg. See Heldensage,
582.
2. Aided Oenfhir Aife. Source of Lecht Oenfhir Aife.
Heldensage, 406.
3. Aided Cheltchair. Used for part of Sliah Callann
(Rev.). Heldens., 574, n. 1.
4. Aided Chonchohair. The Ed. version of Sliah Fxiait
(and 2 copies of Rev.) borrow the story of Cenn Berraide.
5. Aided Chonroi. Source of Findglais. Heldens., 436-7,
443.
96 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
6. Aided Echach meic Muireda. An old version of the
tale, now lost, was probably the source of Sliah Miss, Loch Bi
and Tuag Inhir ; the Aided of LIT, pp. 39-41, borrows in turn
from Tuag Inhir and Loch Ei ; see above, pt. iv, p. 390.
7. Baile in Scdil. May be the source from which the
references to Bloc, Bluicne and Mael in Temair III are derived.
8. Banshenchas. The poem on Carmun (251) mentions
this along with the tales, poems and other compositions which
were recited at the Fair. The hanshenchas referred to must
be an earlier compilation than the one attributed to Gilla
Modutu, which is dated to the year 1147 (see Heldensage, 46) :
for internal evidence seems to prove that the Carmun poem
was written not later than 1079 ; see my note in pt. iii, 471.
9. Bruiden Da Choca. The extant version seems to make
use of the Ds. of Druim Suamaig, which is itself no doubt
based on an earlier form of the tale. Heldens., 593.
10. Bruiden Da Derga. The older version is used for
Benn Etair II and Rath Chndmrossa, and also supplies
material for Belach Conglais, Mag Life and Mag Breg;
Heldens., 653-6. The Egerton recension in turn borrows
from the Dindshenchas {Rath Chruachan, Rath Chndmrossa
and perhaps Benn Etair II) : Heldens., 658.
11. Cath Crinna. Source of Mag Finnahrach.
12. Cath Maige Mucrime. From the version in LL 288 seq.
Mag Mucrime is borrowed ; see Stokes ' edition in RC xiii, pp.
448-450. Cenn Fehrat mentions the death of Dodera {ihid.,
p. 441).
13. Cath Maige Tuired. Dian Cecht's cures are referred
to in Lusmag ; cf . RC xii, 96.
14. De Chophur in dd Muccida. The contest between
Rind and Faebur, as related in the Egerton version of the
tale, supplies the subject of Luimnech (L.-Rev.). Thurneysen,
Heldensage, 284, thinks that the Egerton text borrows from
the Dindshenchas ; if so, the latter in turn presupposes some
earlier form of the tale. Ath Luadn (Rev.-prose) refers to
the tale, but calls it Echtra Nera, erroneously.
15. Derg-ruathar Chonaill Chernaig. Acall (L.-Rev.)
refers to Conall Cernach as avenging Cu Chulainn's death.
Temair III mentions Mai and Midna who appear in this tale.
16. Fled Brier enn. According to Thurneysen, Heldensage^
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 97
464, 466, Fich mBiiana derives from a passage interpolated
into the LU-text, not earlier than the 11th century.
17. Gabdil in tSida. This form of the story of the Mae
ind 6c 's trick is followed in Brug na Boinde, ii, 25-36. In
Tochmarc Etaine the trick is played on Elcmar, not on the
Dagda.
18. Genealogical Tracts. In Laud, 610 (see ZCP viii, 332),
Rawl. B 502 (see ZCP xiv, 162), LL 331 h 48 and BB 163 d 37,
the story of Tlachtga the daughter of Mog Ruith, the three
sons of Simon Magus and the making of the roth rdmacli is
told as in the ds. of Tlachtga (Ed. Rev.).
19. Mesca Ulad. Referred to in Luihnech. The LIT
version of the tale, which describes the storming of Temair
Luachra, tells of the slaying of Crimthann Nia Nair, but does
not mention his cetach, which suggests the etymology of
Luibnech. Heldens., 474.
20. Lehor Gahdla. On the use made of this source see
§ 4 below.
21. Noinden Ulad. Ard Macha makes use of the oldest
of the extant versions (Thurney sen's ''Fassung I") ; Heldens.,
360-363.
22. Orguin Dinn Rig. Used for Laigin I and II. The
last three stanzas of Inher nAilhine refer to Labraid and
Moriath; see Stokes' edition of the tale in ZCP iii, 5-6.
23. Orguin Neill. The older version, edited by Meyer in
Otia Merseiana ii, 84seg., is followed in Ochan. A later
recension in BB 134 h 27 seq. quotes the Ds. poem.
24. Beicne Fothaid Canadnne. The old poem edited by
Meyer in Fianaigecht, pp. 10 seq., may have been used by the
poet of Dun Crimthainn, though he drew the story of
Crimthann from Lehor Gahdla (see p. 5 above). Compare
especially Dun Crimthainn 13-24 and 37-40 with st. 24-29
of Reicne Fothaid. . Yet the latter refers directly to
Crimthann 's adventure (st. 26), so that the Ds. poet and the
author of Reicne Fothaid may both have drawn on the lost
Echtra Crimthainn Niad Ndir, mentioned in the list of prim-
scela at LL 189 c 57.
25. Sanas Cormaic. This is one of the sources of Mag
Femin, but probably through Lehor Gahdla: see LL 9 h 33.
The Rev. prose of Coire Breccdin quotes directly from the
Glossary.

26. Seel Baile meic Buain. Source of Alend (Rev. -prose).
27. Seel Muicee Meie Da Tho. Source of Mag Lena I
and II.
28. Suidigud Tellaig Temra. On the use made of this
story in the introduction to Bd.-Ed., see Hermathena, xlvii.
250. It is referred to also in Temair 1, in Carmun 249, in
Mag Mugna (and perhaps in Temair IV, 109).
29. Tain Bo Cuailnge. The fight of the two bulls forms
the theme of Ath Luain (poem and Rev.-prose) and also of
Mag Tarhga (L-prose), but with considerable variations; see
Heldensage, 245-6. Ath nGahla tells of the four charioteers
beheaded by CuChulainn. Dun maeNecMain Scene refers
briefly to the death of the sons of Nechta Scene. Gdirech
refers to the wounding of CuChulainn and to his death.
Sliah Callann mentions minor personages in the Tain. The
poem on Cam Furhaide (32) alludes to the battle of Ilgairech
and the Rev.-prose refers to the Tain by name.
30. Tain Bo Dartada is referred to by name in Ath Cliath
Medraige, but the explanation of the name of that place is
taken from Tain Bo Reg amain ; see Heldensage, 308.
31. Tain Bo Fraich supplies the explanation of the name
of Inber Bicne (L Rev.-prose, Rev.-verse).
32. Tolland Etair. The latter part of the poem Benn
J^tair II is based on this legend, but contains incidents not
found in the extant versions of T. E. Ath Cliath Cualann
(Rev.-prose) also refers to the story about Athirne; see
Heldensage, 512. Loch Dergderc is founded on the beginning
of T. E.
33. 34. Tecosc Cormaic and Tecosc Fithail are mentioned
in Carmun, 237.
35. Tochmarc Maine. The first part is the source of
Boand I and II, of Brug na Boinde II (1-36 and 93-6) and
is referred to in Brug na Boinde I, 21. It is also the source
of the long poem at LL 208 h, which ought to be included
in the Dindshenchas collection as Boand III ; see Heldensage,
605-8. Cnogha is also more distantly related to the legend:
Heldensage, 603. The third part of T. :fit. supplies the frame-
work of Rath Esa and Bath Chruachan.
36. Vita Tripartita. As to the relation of Mag Slecht to
V. T. see § 4 (7). Sliah Fuait I, 49-56, refers to an incident
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 99
found in V. T. 240. Findloch Cera is expanded from V. T.
114.
37. Vita Cerani. Source of part of Coire Breccdin.
38. Bruiden AtJia. Source of Cenn Guimg.
To these may be added the following legends, now lost,
which are mentioned, or which were probably utilised by
the compilers of the prose recensions. Particulars as to the
two extant lists of sagas (A and B) are given in Thumeysen's
Heldensage, cap. 7.
39. Aithed Mnd Ailella (A and B) : referred to in prose
of Carraic Lethderg.
40. Echtra Bressadl : source of Rath Mor Maige Line, see
prose.
41. Echtra Chrimthainn Niad Ndir (A and B) : probable
source of Dim Crimthainn.
42. Longes Fothaid (A) : perhaps source of Ard Fothaid.
43. Mirahilia Duorum Sincellorum : mentioned in prose
as source of Ath Fadat II.
44. Orgwin Ailig for Neit m. Indui (A and B) : probably
known to authors of Ailech II and III.
45. Orgain Echach fora Maccaih (A and B) : no doubt
source of Druim Criaich.
46. Tomaidm Locha Erne (A and B) : presumably source
of Loch ^rne.
Most of the texts in this list are certainly older than the
11th century. In a few cases, though the only extant version
is relatively late (e.g. Bruiden Da Choca, Berg-ruathar
Chonaill chernaig), there is evidence that an earlier version
existed, which was probably used by the compiler of the
Dindshenchas. There remain two or three texts (e.g. Suidigud
Tellaig Temra) which may perhaps have had their origin
as late as the 11th century, but as their dates are quite
undetermined they afford no help in regard to the Dindshen-
chas.
The only text on the list to which a precise date has been
assigned is Lehor Gabdla, the relations of which to the
Dindshenchas must now be considered.
12
100 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
§ 4. The evolution of Lehor Gahdla and the relations
between the different extant versions have been studied by
Van Hamel in a long article in ZCP x, 97-197 ; more briefly
by Thumeysen in his Zu drischen Handschriften, zweite
Serie, 1-9. See also Thurneysen's criticisms of Van Hamel's
article in ZCP x, 384^395 (partly modified, ihid., xii, 283).
The questions raised by these two scholars can hardly be
regarded as finally settled ; it is to be hoped that the edition
of the different texts of LG, promised by Dr. R. A. S.
Macalister, will bring us nearer to a working hypothesis. I
am only concerned with borrowings by the compilers of the
Dindshenchas from LG, and with such inferences as may
be drawn from them as to the date of both compilations.
It is certain that the LG texts which we possess are the
result of a gradual process of development and accretion ; we
have, therefore, to keep in mind the probability that the
different authors of poems included in the Dindshenchas and
the successive editors of the prose versions made use of
different recensions of LG. For example, the poem Brug na
Boinde I, 13, mentions Scota, wife of Mil, and this poem is
attributed to Cinaed 0 Hartacain (t975), and is therefore
probably earlier than any of the extant LG texts.
For my purpose, the most important of these is the version
which occupies the first 26 pages of the Book of Leinster
(Thurneysen's A-recension). I shall only quote instances in
which the Dindshenchas is so closely related to LG that one
has clearly borrowed from the other, disregarding slighter
references to persons or incidents common to the two. It so
happens that there is no instance of such close relation
between the L-Dindshenchas and LG; I shall therefore put
first articles belonging to the Bd.-Ed. recension, adding after-
wards instances taken from articles in the Rev.-prose, some
of which may have been included in the L-prose in its complete
state.
I treat the tractate Do Flaithiusaih ^renn as an integral
part of LG.
1. Loch ^rne. Ed. 56 (second paragraph, Stokes's text) : —

This is based on the poem (Metr. Ds. iii, 460-2, 11. 21-41) :

The use of the old preterite fich, which occurs in early
texts such as Mesca TJlad (LU 1542), Compert Mongdin (LU
10927) and another Mongan-story (LU 10986), indicates that
LG is here drawing on some early source ; whereas rusdilgenn,
which the Ed.-prose borrows from the verse, is a late form.
The Dindshenchas therefore derives from LG. Note however
that LG mentions only four battles, omitting the battle of
Sliab Femin. The version in Rawl. 83 v° a 2 mentions this
battle, but omits the cath for J^rnaib. (This is part of
Thurneysen 's B I-text, which is according to him a rehandling
of the L-text). Did the ''original text" enumerate all five
battles (including Cath Sleibe Belgadain) ? Or were the battle
of Sliab Femin and the battle against the firainn one and
the same, and did the Ds. compiler blunder in counting them
as distinct battles?

The words ui poeta dixit point to the souree of (h), namely,
the poems at LL 4 & 4, 4 & 41, and 5 h 14. The reference to
Noah, however, eomes from some other authority.
The first half of {a) is elearly borrowed from (&). In
the second half there is a divergence ; in (a) the Flood drowns
all four leaders impartially; in (&) two ships are overwhelmed,
the third escapes, and we are not told how the four leaders
got their deaths. Further, the last sentence of (a), as printed
by Stokes, presents several difficulties. He translates '' (Each)
was for a whole year beneath the waves and then the sea gave
them up again, but as to the ship wherein they had arrived
the sea dashed it on a rock," etc. But the singular rohi and
the change of number to ttodchadar are unaccountable;
moreover, ronathnai has a singular infix, not a plural.
The explanation is, I think, that the compiler of Ed. was
drawing partly on the prose of LG, partly on the poem at
LL 4 & 4, which, it is to be noted, is ascribed to Fintan.
Stanzas 3 and 4 run thus : —
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 103
Tarraid diliu Bith ina Sleib cen ruin,
Ladru i nArd Ladrand, Cessair in a CiiiL
Bliadain dam fo dilind dein i Taul Tuinne thend;
Ni fuarus ni im thomaltus cotlud bad ferr.
The subject to robi in (a) is Fintan, and if we read
tudcha{i)d arisi instead of tudchadar isi all difficulties dis-
appear. ' ' Fintan was a year beneath the waves, and then the
sea gave him up again and the ship in which he came like-
wise," etc.
Rev.'s version (Rev. Celt. xvi. 154) tells the story rather
differently, but refers explicitly to Capturae Hiherniae
( = Gahdla liErenn) as its authority. The forms doruimenadar
and ronathnai in {a) are noteworthy; the latter comes from
adnoaim, v.n. aithne ''deposit"; see Pedersen 788 and cf.
Meyer's Contrib. adnuu (?), atnuu; ACL iii. 18, § 39, roaithne
(gl. rotimain).
The story of Bith and Cessair is not found in either of
the texts of version B III (Rawl. and Lee. I) ; consequently,
if Thurneysen's theory is right, it did not form part of the
''original" LG.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 105
I have not found this quatrain, nor any mention of
Nemthenn, in any text of LG, yet Capturae Hiherniae must
mean some version of LG, as it does in the Rev. dindshenchas
of Sliab Betha.
L and Rev. do not mention the Capturae, although L quotes

I proceed to give further examples of borrowing from
LG taken from the Revised text. In these eases there is no

In this instance, the (a)-version seems to be older than

(ii) (a)'s ni gahtis renna no faebra friu is right (cf. the

misunderstanding; it was the Fidgai who used poisoned

In spite of certain differences, the first part of (a) is

§ 5. The evidence that has been adduced under § 4, 1-4
(especially under 2), proves that the compiler of the First
Recension of the Dindshenchas borrowed some of his material
from Lehor Gabdla — to be more precise, from that form of
LG which is represented by LL and its derivatives; for the
episode of Bith and Cessair, to which the ds. of Sliab Betha
belongs, does not appear in the other main branch of the
LG tradition. If we could accept Thumeysen's dating of
LG this fact would enable us to determine the date of the
Dindshenchas within a very few years.
Thurneysen infers from the entry at the end of the
''B III" version in Rawl. 512 (f. 97) ''Ruaidri .ii. x." that
this version was compiled in the twelfth year of Ruaidri, son
of Toirrdelbach ua Conchobair; by which may be meant the
year 1168, if we reckon from the death of Toirrdelbach, or
1178, if we reckon from Ruaidri 's recognition as Ard-RI (Zu
ir. Hds. II. p. 7). This inference I accept as highly probable.
He goes on to remark that the corresponding list of kings at
the end of the LL copy ends with ''Ruadri mace Tairdelbaig
hua Conchobair," followed by nine entries of which the last
records Ruaidri 's death ; and, further, that the BB copy also
108 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
ends with a notice of Ruaidri ; and he argues that this agree-
ment among these different versions proves that the ' ' original
form" of LG was composed in the reign of Ruaidri (not how-
ever necessarily in the 12th year of his reign ; cf . Heldensage,
p. 35, ad calc).
This would be a result of great importance if it were
securely established; it would supply us with one of those
fixed points in the chronology of documents which are so need-
ful for the historian of Irish literature. Unfortunately I
cannot think that Thurneysen's argument is convincing. It
ignores several important considerations.
1. The list of High Kings in Rawl. 512, f. 97, is a bare
list of names, whereas the list in LL adds short notices of
each king.
2. These two lists adopt different views as to the High
Kingship in the 12th century. In Rawl. the last three kings
are Muircertach ua Briain, Toirrdelbach ua Conchobair,
Ruaidri ua Conchobair. The compiler (who was probably a
Munsterman) regards Ruaidri as succeeding to the High
Kingship on the death of his father in 1156. In the view
of the LL compiler, Toirrdelbach was only ri co fressahra (as
we should say, de jure but not de facto) ; and he was not
immediately succeeded by his son Ruaidri but by Muircertach
mac Neill (Ua Lochlainn), who reigned 14 years co tor chair
la hUi Briuin 7 la Airgiolla. It was only after his death
that Ruaidri became High King.
These two lists are therefore quite independent, and there
is no presumption that either of them represents the original
text of LG.
3. The Annals of Ulster confirm the view taken by the
LL compiler. Under the years 1157, 1162, 1164, and 1166
Muircertach ua Lochlainn is expressly described as High
King. His death in battle against Airgialla, Ui Briuin, and
Conmaicne is recorded under 1166. In the same year Ruaidri
ua Conchobair was ''made king" (rorigad) by ''the kings of
all Leth Moga" ; though he is not described as King of Ireland
until 1169 (A.U.).
4. The only point in common between the lists in LL and
Rawl. is that both end with Ruaidri. But this proves nothing
as to the date of the original text. Supposing that it con-
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 109
tained a list of High Kings — whether a mere list of names
as in Rawl. or a series of brief notices as in LL — nothing
could be more natural than that successive scribes should
bring the list down to their own date, so long as the succession
of High Kings was maintained. This is the ordinary
annalistic procedure.
5. The entry in LL regarding Muircertach mac Neill
(ua Lochlainn) and the first line of the notice of Ruaidrl ua
Conchobair must have been made after 1166, the year of
Muircertach 's defeat and death; the last 8 lines, about
Diarmait mac Murchada and the Norman invasion, were
added later; see Lucius Gwynn's article in ifiriu VIII, 114.
6. Ruaidrl was the last of the High Kings, as is recognised
e.g. by Keating, who ends his work with the Norman Invasion.
That event cut short Ruaidrl 's High Kingship and finally
broke up the political structure of Ireland. In all copies of
LG written later than 1170 (for instance, Rawl. and BB) the
list of High Kings ends with Ruaidrl, simply because there
were no more names to be added. There is here no ground
for dating the composition of the original LG to the time of
Ruaidrl .
7. If we were to accept Thurneysen's view, we should have
to choose as a date either 1168, the year indicated by the
entry ''Ruaidri. ii. x." in Rawl. or else a year between 1166
and 1170, indicated by the notices in LL and AU. Neither
date is really compatible with what we know of the compilation
of LL.
The marginal reference on p. 49 of LL to the death of
Domnall ua Conchobair of Ui Failge as occurring ''yesterday"
shows that this leaf w^as written in 1161 ; and the note on
p. 288 addressed to Bishop Finn mac Gormain proves that
this leaf was written not later than 1160 (Atkinson, Contents
of LL, pp. 7-8). It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that
the Dindshenchas, which occupies pp. 151-170 and 191-216,
was written about the same time; if so, the compiler could
not have made use of a document which was first put together
half a dozen years later. The same difficulty arises about the
date of the LL copy of Lehor Gahdla. In the latter case
Thurneysen suggests that this part of LL may have been
written later than the rest, although it now stands first, and
110 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
this supposition may be thought to receive some support from
the proof given above that part of the last column of the
text must have been written after 1166. There is, however,
nothing to warrant a similar supposition in the case of the
Dindshenchas. And, even if we make such assumptions as to
these two sections of LL, we have only put the difficulty
further back. For neither of them is a first draft ; they both
presuppose an earlier original, and in each case it seems only
reasonable to allow a certain interval of time between this
and the writing of LL. If the original LG was composed in
1166 or 1168, it is difficult to believe that a revised and altered
edition (such as Thumeysen supposes the LL-text to be)
could be prepared before LL was completed. It is still less
credible that in the same interval the archetypal Dindshenchas,
which borrowed from LG, could be compiled and that a copy
thereof could find its way into LL : especially as this copy
was already seriously corrupted and as the scribe found his
exemplar in at least one passage already illegible (see
Hermathena, xlvii. 240).
§ 6. These arguments may be reinforced by the evidence
of Gillananaem O'Duinn's poem, which is discussed in viii
above. It seems to be based on some form of the First
Recension of the prose, probably on a MS. of the Bd.-Ed.
type. If this be so, it follows that the Bd.-Ed. recension is
older than 1166, the date of O'Duinn's poem, and that the
earliest form of the First Recension was older still. There-
fore Lehor Gabdla, being one source of the Bd.-Ed. text, can-
not have been compiled so late as 1168.
§ 7. For all these reasons I find myself unable to accept
the view that the original LG is to be dated to the reign of
Ruaidri. I hold it to have been much older, and I believe
that the Dindshenchas borrowings go back to a text much
earlier in date than LL. This would help to explain why
these borrowed passages exhibit a certain number of old
grammatical forms which are not found in the corresponding
passages in LL's copy of LG. Attention has been called, in
passing, to the old deponent preterite doruimenatar in Sliah
Betha, to doruaicill, tomlachtaiter in Ard Lemnacht, and to
conrotacht in Dun Crimthainn. These are forms which one
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. Ill
would not expect to meet in a document composed in the last
half of the 12th century; but I shall return presently to the
question of linguistic criteria.
We may also explain in the same way why it is that in
Dun Crimthainn the Dindshenchas text seems in one or two
points nearer the original than that of the Lh-Lehor Gahdla.
In (6) the clause tredecim annos regnavit must have come
from some text of an annalistic nature, as it is quite irrelevant
to the Dindshenchas story. I suggest that it is copied from
an early text of LG in which it was part of the notice of
Crimthann.
§ 8. So far, all that we have succeeded in establishing is
that the L-Dindshenchas must have been put together not
earlier than the middle of the 11th century ; and it has been
suggested that the year 1079 may serve as a terminus a quo.
We must now turn to another line of inquiry.
The prose-text of the L-Ds., being composed, as I assume,
at one time is naturally much more homogeneous than the
verse, and we may apply to it such grammatical tests as are
available for dating. Leaving out of account the quatrains
appended to the several prose articles, the results of an
examination of the prose of L as to the use of the infixed
and independent pronouns are as follows : —
Infixed forms :

8. rodosmarb.
112 GENERAL INTRODUCTION.
As to these instances is to be remarked :
(1) Some are otiose: 159b 47, co ronla . . . co romherh;
160 a 5, CO rambruinned (unless this is reflexive) ; 200 a 31,
ronadnacht.
(2) -dos-, -das-, -os, are used instead of the older d-forms :
conosfargaih, conosfacca, condasfuair, condostacht, conostar-
raid, conmtiic, rodosmarh, nodosgair.
Such forms are already fairly frequent in Saltair na
Rann : Strachan has noted 54 (Eriu i. 174).
(3) -da- is used as masc. sg. {condaralsat e^ 169 a 16).
Strachan quotes 6 examples from SnR (ibid.).
(4) -s- for -sn- : roserh, 166 h 26 ; rosimart, 167 a 36 ; as
masc. sg., rosmarh, 165 b 35. Cf . Strachan, ut sup. 165.
(5) -n- for -an-: ronloisc, rombriss, rombiath (as fem.f),
romherr, ronimber. Cf. Strachan, ut sup. 157, 165.
The following instances of the use of the independent
pronoun instead of the infixed occur : —
(a) as subject to the verb:
159 a 4, is and rohadnacht hi ; 159 b 13, dogni si ; 160 b 23,
romarbad e ; 193 b 24, forrgither andsin e.
(h) as object :
159 b 35, coroselaig e ; 160 b 23, corocarsat a chethri e ;
165 b 20, fuair a ingen marb e ; 169 a 16, conduatar na
biasta e, condaralsat e 'na agib; 200 a 48, roadnacht F. iat;
216 b 3, tuc E. iside.
(c) as subject to the copula :
159 a 42, ba dibergach e ; 160 b 44, ba marb e ; 193 b 7,
ba fill e ; 199 b ij, Eo Rossa ibar e ; 200 b 2, ua Echach . . . e.
In all, 16 instances, as against 37 instances of the infixed
pronoun (or 38, if adnsnat in 200 a 36 contains an infix in
disguise).
Thus the infixed pronouns are more than twice as
numerous as the independent. According to O'Cathain
(who has collected instances found in the Annals of Ulster)
(ZCP xix. 6) the ratio between the years 1057 and 1155 is
7 infixed to 3 independent : while for the period 1156-1200
it is as 3 : 13. In the LL-Tain, which Thumeysen assigns
to the first quarter of the 11th century (Heldensage,
GENERAL INTRODUCTION. 113
668), Dillon's collections ''show a proportion of more than
2 : 1 in favour of the infixed pronoun" (ZCP xvi. 330).
As the material in the Annals is very scanty, and the date
of the Tain is conjectural, these indications must be taken
with caution, but so far as one can trust them they would
lead one to put the Dindshenchas about as early as the
LL-Tain.
Another test which may be applied is the substitution of
singular forms of the copula for the plural. In the intro-
duction to his Duanaire Finn, vol. iii," G. E. Murphy has
investigated this point, and arrived at the following con-
clusions : —
(i) Up to 1100 the substitution is very rare,
(ii) By 1150 the ratio of inflected to non-inflected forms
is about 5 to 1.
(iii) By 1200 the ratio has become about 1 to 3.
I have found in the Dindshenchas (L-prose) 6 cases of
inflection and only 1 of non-inflection. The instances are
these :
(a) Inflected :
LL 160 h 13, batar formtig. 167 b 31, batar lana.
168 h 12, roptar e tri mor-thuile hfirenn. 169 a 20, combdar
dub-odra. 170 a 41, bat corcra uli. 200 a 21, nidat cnoi
ruiss.
(h) Non-inflected :
170 h 40, is iat gegna Cu Chulainn.
The figures thus correspond to Murphy's ratio for 1150,
but the cases are too few to offer reliable guidance. At all
events the single case of substitution of the singular copula
need not prevent us from accepting provisionally a date
between 1100 and 1125 for the L-prose.
We cannot with equal confidence make use of such gram-
matical tests to determine the date of the Second Recension.
Its prose text often reproduces that of L, with more or less
variation, while in other instances it is completely rewritten :
besides, its phrasing is borrowed from the verse to a much
" Not yet published. Mr. Murphy kindly allows me to make use
of his results.
TODD LECTURE SERIES^ VOL. XII. K
114 GENERAL INTEODUCTION.
greater extent that that of L's prose. The language is con-
sequently not homogeneous.
A terminus a quo is however given by a reference in the
prose of Tonn Chlidna to Acallam na Senorach. The Acallard
mentions the Monastery of Drogheda, founded by Donnchad
mac Cerbaill in the year 1142, and was therefore composed
after that date : see Stokes ' note on line 53 of his edition
(Irische Texte iv. 273). Consequently the Second Recension
of the Dindshenchas must be dated still later.
The same reference is found also in the Edinburgh
Dindshenchas in almost exactly the same words as in manu-
scripts of the Second Recension : Agtis fos amhail rochan
Cciilte aran dind cetna i n-awisir Padraig aran Agallaiw,
doronsat ar [B]indsenchas Erenn. But in the Second
Recension this paragraph follows immediately after the first
poem on Tonn Chlidna, and serves to introduce the second :
whereas Ed. omits the first poem, so that the words Agus fos
lose their meaning. Besides, Bd. has neither the paragraph
in question nor the poem which it introduces, so that we must
regard these as borrowed by Ed. from the Second Recension.
We have seen in VIII, § 3, that the Bd.-Ed. type of text
was probably in existence before 1166, the date of O'Duinn's
poem : but we have no definite anterior limit of date. We
must however allow a considerable interval between this and
the earlier form of the First Recension. As was observed
above (p. 28 (ii)), the text of Bd.-Ed. shows a process of
accretion at work, gradually enlarging the original frame-
work. In particular, as Thurneysen remarks, a title and an
introduction to the whole work have been supplied. These
developments were carried further in the Second Recension.
For it we can fix no definite posterior limit. Thurneysen,,
for reasons of his own, suggests "somewhere about the year
1200."
We may tentatively assign as approximate dates —
for the First Recension of the prose text, the first quarter
of the 12th century;
for the Bd.-Ed. text, the second quarter;
for the first draft of the Revised text, the last quarter.

Among the miscellaneous matter appended to the Dindshenchas
in M occur the two poems which follow. I know of no other
copies. The second is very illegible, the vellum being much
stained, but with the help of photographs taken under ultra-
violet light by Professor R. W. Ditchburn I have succeeded
in deciphering most of the text.

Notes.
As Oenach Uchbad was 'by the marge of Dorn Buide' it
cannot have been far from Tonn Clidna, which lay 'south-
east of Sid Duirn Buide'; see pt. iii, 208, 28. Cf. Silva
Gadelica i. 223, 23. O'Rahilly has shown (Hermathena xlviii,
201) that Tonn Clidna was somewhere near Galley Head in
S.W. Cork. Ath Salach is presumably to be sought in the
same neighbourhood, and is not the ford of that name which
Ciaran of Clonmacnoise crossed on his way home from
Saighir Chiarain, near Birr (Silv. Gad. ii. 15). Hogan is
mistaken in saying that this ford was the scene of a battle
between Clann Nemid and the Fomorians (Onom. s.v. Ath
Catach, Ath Cuitech) : he took our poem to be part of the
ds. of Lege which immediately precedes it.
Oenach Uchbad was evidently a meeting-place of the aes
side, to whom Ilbrec certainly belongs; he is no doubt Ilbrec
of Ess Ruaid, who appears in Acallam na Senorach. Doirenn
may be either the daughter of Midir or the daughter of Bodb
Derg, both of whom we meet in the Acallam. Dorn Buide
must be another chieftain of the fairy people : we find
mention in the Felire (first ed. p. xlviii) of a hill and a ford
in Ossory called after him.
In St. 2, we should perhaps read dolh-chomaithech (g. pi.).

2. Eleven names, I certify, according to sound authors . . .
3. Dun Senaig was at first its name, I remember its story :
the learned resorted thither when it was still Dun Senaig.
4. Thereafter it was Glenn Gaba, and next Liss Raba : I
know that afterwards it was Dun Cairbre of the province.
5. Thereafter it was Glenn Echtarba and Suigeach
Sealga ( ?) : after that, Glenn Da Selga, then the Dun of
Finnlaech mac Fadaig.
6. Thereafter it was Mur Meirge, whither came the
hunters : after that, Glenn na Pine and the Dun of Goll mac
Glaissrennaig.
7. Thereafter it was Ard Ibair, the place where men
wrought a crime ( ?) : after that it became Tuaim Da Gualann,
when larlaithe gave it his blessing.

9, 40, for 'bore her away' read 'wedded her,' and so in 45.
9, 47, read 'that the loan of her might be returned' (literally 'that
there should be restitution of her from her loan').
10, 57, read idr: See Meyer, Bruchstiicke, 19, note.
11, 51, read 'the grey-eyed pasturing host'.
14, 23, read crichad, 'delimitation'.

26, 178, read drutlimb, 'jesters' (K.M.) (though most texts have
draithib).
27, 170-1, tr. 'the flute-player and rhymester both, the horn-blower,
the piper'.
27, 179, tr. 'the uru^ola belonged without question to the maidens':
see Glossary.
28, 19, read tarcai, 'overlooks'.
29, 17, read 'protects it'.

75. Temair V. This string of names seems to be compiled from several
sources; see notes on 5-12, 17-20, 37-40; and note that
the names in 9-12 are all (except Mag Breg) taken from
a quatrain appended to prose ds. of Cerna, LL 168a.
Hence the repetition of Crinna (12, 31), Aigle (16), and

request, that it should be fulfilled'.
10, 16, read perhaps ni gann in gnod, ' not sparing the graving-tool ' :

16, 75, read nd dernsat, 'who did not perform'.
16, 82, read Mana . . . Soil, 'The Mana and wholesome Sell pass by

17, 85-6, read 'Congalach the illustrious lord of warriors, swift is

Congalach, lord of the Gailenga, 1978 (F.M.).
17, 87, for 'with a track' read 'as far as the sea'.
18, 19, read diad ( : dan, 20).

28, 21, read moslui.

28, 23, read in sain-delgna (deleting comma). This seems to be an
epithet for Buad : perhaps = 'the princely spear-head'.
28, 24, dluth-oJwemd will not do ; possibly hitJi-choeTna, written perhaps
imth-ohoema, to make a rhyme. Cf. Th. Gram. § 307.
But the readings indicate early corruption in this stanza
and the next.
28, 26, read ha heat fodrergatar ' it was they who had arrested him ' :
see Heldens. 395.
29, 38-39, read perhaps 'he went from them on no unlucky course — it

29, 43, read perhaps ('he was a good fosterling of a good family'),
deleting semi-colon in 42 : see Glossary, soalt and
sochlaind.
delete comma after curcMn (K.M.).
read rditir, 'it is called'; (raidtir, B.).
read huil-iath, 'the blooming laud' (?); cf. iuilid.
read 'fierce wide-ruling Ruad'. See Glossary, rige.
The MS. readings point to tadclaid, ' claims ' ( ?) ; cf .
adclaidim. The passage is obscure and probably corrupt,
but perhaps we may read tadclaid tuath toimsech tlacht-
halc fi feih fuU-iath fer co facht, 'the man of evil,
poisonous as a field of blood, claims the rental of the
strong-clad communities. ' See Glossary, toimsech and
facht. Labraid killed Cobthach cdel and burned Dinn
Rig: see Z.C.P. iii. 1-14.
34, 98, read rotriallad and render 'when the attempt was made (or,
when she was attacked) she was no coward.'
36, 2, read lettir, 'hill-side'. As ferta means 'grave' it could hardly
be said to be 6s lecht fir.

the caesura falls regularly after the eighth syllable, Ir.
Text. iii. I, p. 352, § 32a and c (letter from R. Thurneysen,
who does not recognise such a caesura as do | roni).
413. As to the topography of the poem on Tailtiu see an article in
JRSA Sept. 1930, pp. 113-129, by H. Morris. He may be
right in treating Cairpre (line 23) as a place-name.

the, 'yonder'?. This vocable occurs frequently, always at the end of
a line following a noun (sg. nom. ace. or dat.); the

the adj. te, 'warm', is inappropriate, especially at IV.
