Between the Isles and the Continent
This review article examines Multi-disciplinary Approaches to Medieval Brittany, 450–1200: Connections and Disconnections (edited by Caroline Brett, Paul Russell, and Fiona Edmonds), assessing how the volume integrates archaeological, historical, linguistic, and hagiographical evidence to re-evaluate Brittany’s place between the Insular world and the Continent during the early and central Middle Ages. In particular, the review highlights and disc…
A newly discovered Irish tract on the divisions of time in Laon, Bibliothèque Municipale, MS. 422
This article provides the first study of the Irish computistica recently discovered in Laon, Bibliothèque Municipale, 422, a manuscript written in the first third of the ninth century in an undetermined scriptorium of Northern Francia. These materials, which display a strong interest in grammar and biblical exegesis in addition to computus and also contain three words in Old Irish, were excerpted from an eighth-century Hiberno-Latin tract focussi…
Une nouvelle glose en vieux-breton dans Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, MS 9605
This article announces first of all the discovery of a hitherto unknown Old Breton gloss at fol. 69ra of the computistical manuscript Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, 9605, written at Avignon in ad 1026. The gloss in question is constituted by a single word : the compound sterdigkiniat , which translates latin astrologus in the context of a passage concerning the etymology of the word Kalendae. This compound contains the word ster , “star”, as well a…
Notes sur quelques mots vieux-bretons du manuscrit Angers 477, fo 36ro
Le manuscrit des oeuvres scientifiques de Bède, Angers, Bibliothèque municipale, n° 477, a livré le stock le plus important de gloses en vieux-breton. Les mots vieux-bretons du f° 36r°, cependant, ne sont pas exactement des gloses ; ce sont neuf mots bretons qui traduisent les mentions portées en tête de plusieurs colonnes de chiffres romains. Or ce tableau de chiffres livre l’âge de la Lune lors des grandes fêtes mobiles de l’année liturgique. L…
Les gloses inédites en vieux-breton et vieil-anglais dans Orléans 182
Dans son Dictionnaire des gloses en vieux-breton, Léon Fleuriot indiquait la présence d’une glose «sans doute bretonne » dans le manuscrit Orléans 182, écrit peut-être à Fleury vers 900. Une nouvelle analyse de ce manuscrit (qui contient une grande quantité de commentaires et gloses concernant presque la totalité de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Testament) montre qu’en fait les gloses vernaculaires sont plus nombreuses : cet article offre une discussion…
Flutes, pipes, or bagpipes? Observations on the terminology of woodwind instruments in Old and Middle Irish
Old and Middle Irish sources offer a rich array of terms referring to woodwind instruments. However, terms like buinne, cuisech, cuisle, fetán, pípa, etc. are variously translated as ‘flute’, ‘whistle’, ‘pipe’, ‘bagpipe’, and the like, seemingly without much consideration for the organological reality underlying these lexical items. This article will look at the linguistic and textual evidence relating to some of these terms, with the aim of achi…
Tarbḟlaith
Le speculum principum vieil-irlandais connu sous le nom d’Audacht Morainn (AM), écrit probablement vers l’an 700, présente une classification de quatre «types» de souverain : parmi ceux-ci, nous trouvons le tarbḟlaith, «chef-taureau», c’est-à-dire un prince violent qui règne dans un contexte de guerre permanente. L’analyse des différentes recensions d’AM suggère que la section concernant le tarbḟlaith constituerait en réalité un ajout relativemen…
Prolegomena to the Study of Code-Switching in the Old Irish Glosses
This article investigates the frequent alternation of Latin and Old Irish in several collections of Early Medieval Irish glosses (especially focussing on the glosses to the Epistles of St Paul in Würzburg, Universitatsbibliothek, MS M.p.th.f.12), in the attempt to ascertain how modern language contact and code-switching theories (Myers-Scotton’s Matrix Language Frame - or MLF - model in primis) may help us understand this phenomenon, as well as t…
