IGT/BST Citations and Duplicate Entries: The Ascriptions in the H 2. 17 Copy of IGT III–IV

Abstract

Abstract:The grammarian-prosodists who compiled the Irish Grammatical Tracts and the Bardic Syntactical Tracts do not usually provide us with any details about the authors whose work they examine. Identifying the poems from which the citations in IGT and BST were excerpted is therefore vitally important to our understanding of the tracts. This paper is intended to be a supplement to the series begun by Damian McManus in the 1997 issue of Ériu.
