The apparent descent of the former from a late MidIr and EModIr construction with iar 'after' and the verbal noun is described. The suggestion that the latter is most likely a development of a stative construction (e.g. Modlr tá sé ullamh agam 'I have it ready') is supported. Some related constructions are discussed also. Reflexes in the modern dialects of Ireland, Scotland and Man are described in some detail, and the Hiberno-English 'after' perfect (e.g. I am after doing it) is briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":38655,"journal":{"name":"Eriu","volume":"54 1","pages":"179 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66308451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 'Dublin Annals' attests to the readiness with which scribes indulged in editorial intrusion, while it also offers insights into the factors which impinged upon textual transmission in the Modern Irish period.","PeriodicalId":38655,"journal":{"name":"Eriu","volume":"41 1","pages":"133 - 153"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66309140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It attempts to show exactly which texts of Irish origin Bede used, not only in his scientific treatises but also in his exegetical works, and, perhaps more importantly, how he used them. He seems to have appreciated the synthetic approach of the Irish masters, but did not hesitate to query their scholarship, supplementing their information with classical and Patristic texts. On the other hand, he failed to understand their humour and is found to be led astray by the witticisms of Virgilius Maro Grammaticus. Although Bede does not acknowledge any of Irish masters, his attitude toward the Irish may not have been as negative as it would appear from a modern standpoint.","PeriodicalId":38655,"journal":{"name":"Eriu","volume":"54 1","pages":"139 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69515439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the Old Irish to the Early Modern Irish period, there existed a word dea/dee/dé with the meaning 'pagan deity'. While día could mean both 'God' and 'god', dee and its variants were used only in the latter sense after the é > ía shift. It would appear, therefore, that, as the pronunciation of dé/dea was shifting to día in the course of the seventh century, the spelling of the archaic form was lexicalised with the meaning 'pagan god'.

The Prologue sets the Trojan War in the context of the descent of nations from the sons of Noah and ultimately from those of Adam, and ends with a series of verses on Trojan genealogy. An edition is presented, based principally on the copy in RIA MS D.iv.2, with commentary and translation. Stemmatic relationships are plotted between this text of the Prologue and those in five other manuscript versions of TTr. The meaning and sources of the Prologue narrative are discussed, and it is argued that these include a variant or derivative of the Apocalypse of Pseudo- Methodius. It is also proposed that there are close affinities with the version of the Leabhar Gabhála represented by fragment H (TCD MS 1316a). Further connections are proposed with Auraicept na nÉces, Saltair na Rann, the Chronicle of Marianus Scottus and the Lecan Synchronisms.","PeriodicalId":38655,"journal":{"name":"Eriu","volume":"64 1","pages":"106 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3318/ERIU.2014.64.23","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69515891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
