PREFACE.

THE first edition of the metrical Martyrology called in

Irish Felire Oengusso Ctti D£ was published in 1880, by the
Royal Irish Academy, in parallel columns, from four corrupt and
uncorrected texts, hereinafter denoted by^?1, R2, L, and LB. In
the preface I maintained, for reasons which then seemed to me
conclusive, that the poem could not have been composed much
before the end of the tenth century. Further study, and the
arguments of Professors Strachan1 and Thurneysen,2 have
convinced me that I was wrong,3 and that its composition
may, in accordance with the Irish tradition, be safely ascribed
to the year 800 or thereabouts. An Irish metrical martyrology
of such antiquity deserves the attention of all who are interested
in religious history, liturgical books, Celtic philology, or poetic
art ; and the Council of the Henry Bradshaw Society is surely
justified in trying to give to the members a critical text of this
singular poem, with various readings from the ten MSS. in which
it is wholly or partially preserved.

In forming the text, as well as in making the trans
lation and glossary, I have used to the best of my power the
discoveries in Old- Irish grammar and etymology achieved during
the last twelve years by Ascoli, Windisch, Thurneysen, Zimmer,
Zupitza, Osthoff, Sommer, Rozwadowski, Pedersen, Sarauw,
Strachan and Liden. I am far from regarding the present
edition as definitive. I know too well that I have not realised
my ideal ; but, remembering the story told of Thorwaldsen in
his old age,4 I cannot say that I am therefore despondent.

1 Deponent verb) p. no. 2 ZCP. i. 345.

3 I especially regret that my error should have misled the Rev. F. E.
Warren, Liturgy and Ritual of the Celtic Church, p. xvi, and Professor Bury,
Life of St. Patrick, p. 343, note 4.

4 "A friend found him disconsolate before a finished statue, and inquired
if he was despondent because he had not been able to realize his ideal.
And the sculptor responded that, on the contrary, he had realized his ideal,
and therefore he was downcast ; for the first time his hand had been able to
accomplish all that his mind had planned." — North American Review,
June 15, 1905, p. 873.

viii PREFACE.

I now propose, first, to describe the ten MSS. on which the
present edition is founded ; secondly, to notice the author of
the Martyrology, Oengus the Culdee ; thirdly, to consider some
of the characteristics of the language of the poem, especially as
bearing on the date of its composition ; fourthly, to explain the
metre in which it is written ; fifthly, to give some account of its
contents ; and lastly, to notice the passages in the Irish prefaces
and scholia which seem to throw light on early Irish religious
practices, superstitions, folk-lore and legal antiquities.

I. DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS.

The MSS. on which the present edition is founded will be
respectively denoted by the following signs, here arranged in
alphabetical order : £, C, E, F, H, Z, LB, P, R\ R\

B = Brussels MS. 5100-4.

As this codex has been fully described in the preface to the
Martyrology of Gorman, London, 1895, it will be enough here
to say that it is a small paper manuscript in the Royal Library,
Brussels, almost wholly in the handwriting of Michael O'Clery,
one of the Four Masters, who died about 1644. The copy of
the Martyrology of Oengus which it contains is in Michael's
handwriting, and was transcribed from a book written by Siodrach
Ua Maelconaire in the year 1533. It begins on f. 94a, and ends
on f. H9b. It omits 11. 393-396, 11. 543-546 of the epilogue and
the first two lines of the quatrain for Oct. 8 : the latter omission
is supplied in the margin by a recent hand. All its important
readings are, in the present work, marked B, and are given in the
footnotes.

It seems to me on the whole to come closer to the copy in
Lebar Brecc1 than to those in the other MSS. But there
are often variances, some, such as, in the prologue, rith
roreith 28, n-oidhidh 49, riaghaib 52, gerat 90, a dun 130,
ro sretha 138, bertair 175, dilsiu 185, as nesa 217, slebe 240,
-guidiu 265, sluinnfid 300, trib 328 — decidedly better than the
readings of the Speckled Book. So at Jan. 18 B has tasc

£7= The Cheltenham MS.

This is a parchment MS. now containing 48 pages. It
formerly belonged to the lexicographer Edward O'Reilly, by
whom it was sold to the late Sir Thomas Phillips. When I
examined the manuscript, it was in the library of the Rev. John
E. A. Fenwick, Thirlstane House, Cheltenham. The extravagant
date, " as old as the tenth century," which Dr. Petrie (On the
History and Antiquities of Tara Hill, p. 71) ascribed to this
codex, was probably due to the vendor's ignorance or cupidity,
Palaeography, grammar, and spelling show that it can hardly be
older than the fifteenth. As it is now unknown to Celtists, the
following brief list of its contents may be welcome : —

P. I. Illegible.

P. 2. Begins : et ni derna failtifriu etc., a passage relating to

the creation of Eve from Adam's seventh rib.
P. 3. Poem beginning :

A. thair caic/i, coimsid nime . in ri uasal ainglighe, * father

of every one, ruler of heaven, the noble, angelic king,' and

ending (p. 4) : rucad Gaoidel ar n-at\h\air, ' Goidel, our

(eponymous) father, was born.'1

P. 4. Ro aitreph tra Nell mac Feniusa Fairs^^ theas i n-Eigipt.
P. 5. Imtusa cloinde Danaine et cloinne Deirgthinedh et cloinde

P. 9. Imtussa Mog\_d\Nuadat. ' Adventures of Mugh Nuadat.'
P. 12. A scribe's note beginning: Misse in Dubaltach mac

Semuis do graiph in beag sin, etc. ' I am Dubaltach, son

of James, who wrote that little bit.'
P. 13. Story beginning with a description of a combat between

the King of Erin and the King of Ulaid.
Pp. 20-45 contain an imperfect copy of the Martyrology of

Oengus. Lacking are the lines from the quatrain for

March 13 to the second line of the quatrain for Nov. 21 ;

and p. 19, which probably contained a prose preface, is

now illegible.
P. 20. IMrordus in rigraid, Prol. 21.

1 Also in the Book of Lecan, fo. 267 (Plummer).

x PREFACE.

P. 22. Sen a Crist. Beginning of the invocation prefixed to
the prologue.

begins with mac Co main a hAraind, the third line of
the quatrain for Nov. 21.

P. 36. Sluind Decimbir kalaind, Dec. I.

Pp, 41-45. On kaland cu araile etc. The epilogue.

Hell when Christ carried off his prey from it ; and the cry
of Doomsday when the righteous separate from the
sinners. See also Egerton 1782, fo. 49b, cited in Celt.
Zeits. iv. 237.

„ Poem ascribed to Comghall of Bennchor, beginning :
M'aonuran imm aruclan gan duine imm1 gnats : * I am
alone in my little oratory, without anyone in my company.'2

P. 46. De uerbis Colmain macoBeonae3.i. de uitiis4 latentibus in
umbra bonorum operum, etc., see Mart. Gonn. viii. For
this Colman's Apgitir Crdbaid 'Alphabet of Devotion,'
see ZCP. i. 496; 111.447.

' Let every one take heed before deserting God's
commandments how in his hardships he will look for
God, and how in want or in need he will pray to the
mighty Lord, and how God will hear his piteous cry or
his iervent prayer.'

The long vowels are sometimes marked. Here and there,
too, there is a valuable gloss, e.g. immidchuairt Ep. 94, .i.
i medoncuairt, which proves the error of the rendering of Tech
Midchuarda\yy 'mead-circling house,' in O'Curry's Manners and
Customs, III. 600.

Needless to cite many of the Middle-Irish corruptions such
as lithdath Prol. 19, ritroith 28, morrigu 61, rig lad for rigrad 278,
dained for doine Jan. I.

The note at the end (infra p. 288) as to the number of
quatrains in the Martyrology is more accurately given infra,
p. xvii, from LB. 105 marg. sup.

E = Egerton 88.

Egerton 88, hereinafter denoted by E, is a small-folio parch
ment MS. in the British Museum, written by Domnall O Duibh-
da-bhoirenn and his pupils in the latter half of the sixteenth
century. Its contents are catalogued in the introduction to
Three Irish Glossaries, London, 1862, pp. lix-lxii, and much
more elaborately in S. H. O'Grady's Catalogue of Irish MSS.
(in the British Museum), pp. 85-141. The portion containing
parts of our Martyrology is the so-called O'Davoren's Glossary,
(ff. 8oa-93a), which has been twice edited, first, in Three Irish
Glossaries above mentioned, and secondly, in the Archiv filr
Celtische Lexicographic II. 198-504. A paper copy of this
glossary (unfortunately imperfect), by Dudley MacFirbis, is
preserved in H. 2. 15 (a MS. in the library of Trinity College,
Dublin) and is here cited as MacF.

The various readings of the fragments of the Martyrology
contained in O'Davoren's Glossary are as a rule not important ;
but there are some worth citing, such as ciabtar, Prol. 74, o luid
\2%,ciatcois 182, ciarbo ligdha 2\Af,menann 285, dodonfairci\*x\. 26,

decmaic Ep. 172, ciabdar bailc a mbresa, ' though mighty were
their battles,' Prol. 75, which may be the true reading. We may
also cite Domrairbera Ep. 65, ro drebraing Aug. 26, and cachain
Dec. 8.

F = The Franciscan MS.

This is a beautifully-written parchment MS. in small folio,
formerly at Louvain, where it was used by Father John Colgan,
author of the Ada Sanctoriun Hiberniae, Lovanii, 1645,
afterwards in the Irish monastery in Rome, and now in the
Franciscan monastery, Merchants' Quay, Dublin. It contains
ninety-nine pages in double columns. Long vowels are rarely
marked ; but infected g> a7, b are often furnished with the sign

of aspiration. The scribe's note at the end of the epilogue is
obscure, but seems to run as follows : —

Finit amen finit. Misi Ruaidhri hua Luinin .i. mac Mata male
S...h. Luinin do sgrib in feilire si do mac Magnusa(?) Meguidir
.i. do Chathal occ, mac Cathail maic G\\\ai Patraic .i. do biatach
in tsenaigh.

Hence the MS. appears to have been written by Ruaidri
O'Luinin for Cathal Maguire, a canon of Armagh and Dean of
Clogher, who died in 1470*, and is here styled the ' victualler of
the synod.'

F yields some good readings, e.g., andorogbus Prol. 18, a

F is heavily glossed, and contains numerous scholia, most
of which agree in substance with those in the other MSS.,
while others, added with the formula ' in hoc die ' at the end of
the notes on each day, give the names of certain saints omitted
by Oengus.2 Hence this copy is called by Colgan Aengusius
auctus, and it seems to have been freely used by the compilers
of the Martyrology of Donegal.

#=H. 3. 1 8.

This is a collection of MSS. in the library of Trinity College
Dublin, where it is (or was lately) marked H. 3. 18. These
manuscripts are of various dates and sizes, and are now divided
into two parts, part I. containing pp. 1-457, part II. containing
pp. 458-875. It formerly belonged to Edward Lhuyd, the
author of the Archaeologia Britannica, Oxford, 1707 : the paging
numbers are in his handwriting ; and two Welsh notes by him,
in pp. 459 and 585, record the dates of his purchase of parts of

L = Laud 610.

This is a double-columned parchment folio in the Bodleian.
It contains 146 leaves, and was transcribed in 1453 from the
Saltair Caisil and three other old MSS. by Seaan Buidhe
O'Cleirigh and others for Edmund Butler mac Richard, then
chief of one of the septs of the Butlers. The copy of the
Martyrology preserved in it begins on fo. 59, and ends on the
recto of fo. 75. There is a bad facsimile of the first quatrain
of the prologue in O'Conor's Rerum Hibernicarum Script ores

heterogeneous contents of the codex are described by Dr. Todd
(Progs. R.L Academy II. 336) and Dr. O'Donovan (Book of
Rights, Dublin, 1847, pp. xxviii-xxxiii). The date (1453) and
one of the scribes' names are thus mentioned in the colophon
to the fragment of Cormads Glossary contained in ff. 79a-86a:

IS he annalfl in Tigmia inuair do scribad in sanasan so na Saltrach .L

'This is the year of the Lord when this little glossary of the Psalter
[of Cashel] has been written, to wit, a thousand years and four hundred
years, and thirteen years, and two score, the fifth day of the month of
February and the eighth day of the moon. I am Yellow John O'Clery
who wrote, and for Edmund Butler mac Richard this little glossary of
Cormac's Psalter hath been written.'

The history of the MS. is continued by the following entry
on the lower margin of fo. I iob : —

Salttair maic Ruisdml Buitikr .i. ILmonn Buiti/<?r, in tsalttair seo no-

'This Psalter (was) the Psalter of Mac Richard Butler, to wit,.
Edmund Butler, until the defeat at Baile in Phoill1 was inflicted on the
Earl of Ormond and on Mac Richard by the Earl of Desmond,2 to wit,.
Thomas. And this book and the Book of the Rock were taken in
ransom for Mac Richard ; and it is that Mac Richard who caused'
these books to be written for himself, (and kept them) until Thomas
Earl of Desmond wrested them away.'

" Thus," says Dr. Todd (Proceedings of the Royal Irish
Academy, Dublin, 1841, p. 338), "it appears that this book and
the book of Carrick (now unknown), were in the fifteenth
century considered as a sufficient ransom for the person of a great
chieftain — a remarkable proof of the preservation of a love
of literature amongst the native Irish nobles in the midst of
all their war and faction at that period."

1 Now Piltown in the county of Kilkenny. The battle was fought in
1462, and there is an account of it, by Dubhaltach Mac Firbisigh, in the
Miscellany of the Irish Archaeological Society, p. 247.

- The eighth Earl, who was beheaded at Drogheda in 1467. He was
according to the O'Clerys, 'learned in Latin, English, and ancient Irish
writings.'

xvi PREFACE.

The following corruptions in the prologue were probably due
to a fifteenth century scribe : —

Prol. 28, ra reith ; 87, fororcnait ; 38, ro tinmit\ 47, sonnad;

which £ and <^ were nearly alike.

Z.5 = Lebar Brecc.

The Lebar Brecc, or * Speckled Book/ a huge manuscript,
now in the library of the Royal Irish Academy, was compiled in
the fourteenth century by the Mac Egans of Dun Doighre, now
Duniry, in the co. Galway. Some account of its contents
(deformed by mistakes both in Latin and in Irish),1 is prefixed
to the lithographic facsimile published in 1876, and a brief but
better catalogue is found in pp. 36-40 of Dr. Atkinson's Passions
and Homilies, Dublin, 1887. The copy of the Martyrology which
it contains begins at p. 75 of the facsimile, and ends at p. 106;
and there is a photolithograph of the page containing the
commencement of the prologue in the National MSS. of
Ireland, Part III. No. xxviii. Long vowels are rarely marked, and
infected g, d, b are never denoted. The Dominical letter and the
day of the month (in the Roman notation) are written in the
margin opposite the first line of each quatrain (see Prol. 305, 335),

1 See Revue Celtique, III. 274.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS. xvii

and in the upper margin of p. 105 is the following note as to the
number of quatrains1 in the Martyrology of Oengus :

A coic .lx. ar .ccc.aib hi curp in fhelire feisin ocus a se 7
oenfiche dec ina da brolaig, conid a hoen dec 7 cethri fichit 7 .u.
ce't in sin uile .71-!.,

1 Three hundred and sixty-five in the body of the Martyrology
itself and six and eleven score (226) in the two prologues, so that
all that is eleven and fourscore and five hundred (365 + 226 = 591).'

LB is enriched with copious glosses and scholia, which are
printed in the first edition of this Martyrology ; but though
oldest in date, of all the MSS. it deviates most from the archetype.
Thus in the prologue we find :

P- 3

This is a small folio parchment MS. in the library of the
Royal Irish Academy, now containing eleven leaves. The
epilogue is in double columns. In the rest of the poem each
quatrain runs, as a rule, in a single line across the page. The
Martyrology is followed by a copy of the legend telling how
Becan mace Cula, St. Patrick's first convert, rescued Bresal's soul
from hell (Lismore Lives, xxvii-xxviii). Then comes the
colophon : —

ISsed is ais don Tig^rna .i. secht mbliadna 7 tri .xx. G an
liter dom\maigh j a \\ocht in nuimir oir. Uilliam mac an legha
qz/i scribsit [ut] bona morte pmbit.

Hence it appears that the MS. was written by William mac
an legha3 (' the son of the leech ') in the year 1467, the Dominical
letter being G, and the golden number eight. Prose-preface and
prologue are missing in this MS., and also the quatrains for the
months of May, September and December. The glosses are
interlinear; the scholia for the most part on the lower margins.
Long vowels are often marked.

Characteristic of P is the tendency of the scribe to put tdfor
Ut — as in holdmuir Feb. 17, Teilde June 25, nold Aug. 8, celd
Oct. 12 note, — and nd or nn for n, — as in ind-air Feb. 13, Seirnd

sometimes has oi for at, as in coin March 13, Oct. 10, moinich
Oct. 27 = cdin L. He writes d for t in Padraicc, Pedair, adfed;
d Tor gin. blod: th for h in ingina thuage, June 5. Custatin (for

The saints Abundius Aug. 26, and Dalbach Oc. 24, are
mentioned only in /*. In the former case the fifteenth-century
scribe seems to have been influenced by the Roman Martyr-
ology. The other MSS. have (I now think, rightly) Quinti,
which accords with the Epternach copy of Mart. Hier.

7?1 = Ravvlinson B. 505.

Rl. This is a parchment MS. in folio of the beginning of the
fifteenth century, preserved in the Bodleian, and marked
Rawlinson B. 505. It contains 220 leaves. Its chief contents
are an imperfect copy of Jocelin's life of S. Patrick and the
Latin lives of thirty-eight other saints, one Welsh (S. David,
fo. 196), the rest Irish.1 The body of the Martyrology begins
at fo. 2 1 1, and ends at fo. 220. There is a bad facsimile of
part of the quatrain for Jan. I in O'Conor's Rer. Hib. Scriptoresy
vol. i. prolegg., part. 2, p. cxliv, tab, 6, no. 4. Though prose-
preface, prologue, and epilogue are lacking, this copy is, so
far as it goes, by far the best that has come down to us.
Thus the names of foreign saints are generally given with
exceptional correctness. For example : —

Jan. 14. Gluceri (rectius Gfyceri) : Luceri LB. F.

Jan. 22. Valerius: Valeus L. Varilius LB. Valarius E.

Jan. 23. Severiani : Cebriani LB. Semuniani Jf.

So R^ often excels other MSS. in preserving older
grammatical forms. Take, for example, the following verbs : —

Jan. i. toided, where other MSS. have taidhet^ toted.

Jan. 4. decoemnagtar : docoemnacair L.

Jan. 10. Almini : Ailme LB. Ailmne C.

A less admirable characteristic of Rl is the fondness of its
scribe for irrational vowels. Thus ad^bal June 26, aidbzle
March 26, Ap^ril March 27, c^rann March 10, Lib^ren March n,
respectively for adbul, aidble, April, crann, Libren. He rarely
marks long vowels, and never denotes infected g, d or b. He
writes / for r in damail Feb. 16, and coclait Dec. 24, and r for /
in creir Aug. 16, and tempuir Dec. 15.

Each quatrain in R1 is, as a rule, contained in a single line
extending across the page. The glosses are, as usual, interlinear :
the scholia are for the most part put together at the end
of each month. They are rarely in the margins or above the
lines.

R* = Rawlinson B. 512.

R2 is a parchment manuscript, also in the Bodleian, marked
Rawlinson B. 512. It is a double-columned quarto containing
ff. 154, and written by various hands in the fourteenth or
fifteenth century. Ff. 5-30 contain the elder copy of the
Tripartite Life of St. Patrick, and the other contents of the codex
are catalogued in the introduction to the Rolls edition of that
Life, pp. xiv-xlv. The prose preface to the Martyrology begins

DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS. xxiii

at fo. 59a I. The poem commences at fo. 53b, but breaks off at
line 60 of the prologue. At fo. 54a begins the epilogue,1 and it
ends at fo. 56b. This is followed by a quatrain in the rinnard
metre, which, when correctly spelt, runs thus : —

Bendacht rig do ne"laib
ro genair 6 Mairi
for anmain cen rnire
Oengusso co riglaini.

' The blessing of the King of Clouds, who has been born of
Mary, on the soul without madness of Oengus the pure.'

The seven succeeding folios from 57a to 64a are filled with
notes on the body of the Martyrology, which unfortunately is
missing in this MS.

The scribe's name was Dubthach Ua Duibgennan, as appears
from the following notes, which are in the same handwriting : —

Fo. 64b. . . . annso do Geroid an Fani mac Seoirsea dar'

II. THE AUTHOR OF THE MARTYROLOGY.

Little that can fairly be called historical is known about
the author of our Martyrology. The sources of the traditions
concerning him are the Irish prefaces (of which two are printed
and translated infra, pp. 2-14) : the Book of Leinster, p. 37°S
where he is mentioned as one of the fraternity of Maelruain ot
Tallaght: the Martyrology of Tallaght, at March 11, where
he is called a bishop, grandson of Oiblen ; and the following poem
in the Lebar Brecc, p. io6b, which comes immediately after the
epilogue to the Martyrology of Oengus :

1. Aibind suide sund amne * re taeb Eoire uarglaine,

1 This and the preceding stanza, when separated from their context,
Matthew Arnold mistook for an epitaph, and said of them, with kindly
exaggeration, " a Greek epitaph could not show a finer perception of what
constitutes propriety and felicity of style in compositions of this nature,"
On the Study of Celtic Literature, London, 1867, p. 146.

Translation.

1. Delightful to sit here thus, by the side of the cold-pure Nore :
though it was troopful, there was not a path of raids in gifted Disert
Bethech ('the Birchen Hermitage').

2. Disert Bethech wherein dwelt the man whom hosts of angels
used to visit, a pious cloister behind a circle of crosses, wherein
Oengus son of Oiblen used to be.

3. Oengus from the assembly of heaven, here are his tomb and his
bed : and hence he went to death on a Friday unto holy heaven.

4. 'Tis in Cluain Eidnech he was reared : in Cluain Eidnech he was
buried : in Cluain Eidnech of many crosses he studied his psalms at
first.

5. Oengus in a prison of bondage, by the will of God's Son, in
Tallaght : that was not vigorous life in the kiln a-drying (corn).

6. Before anyone arose in the country a hard sack he had, for
grinding seeds : thrice fifty psalms, — clear fulfilment — three hundred
genuflexions every night.

7. Greenish cornblades (grew) through the hair of his head, a
covering of hair through his body : seven years for him — godly the
fasting, — without music, without repose.

8. He drank no ale out of a cup, Oengus— choice was the wheat :2
often his face changed colour, between wind and winnowing chaff.

9. He went one day to cut wood, Oengus the flame on Bregia :
while lopping it — tale with beauty — he struck off his gospel-hand.3

1 leg. figthea ' of weaving ' : cf. Feb. 24, Ap. 28, Ep. 270, when crochtha^
cesta are genitives sg.

2 tuirnd seems an abridgment of tuirenn, here, as in the Martyrology,
denoting God's wheat, i.e. a saint.

3 /.<?., his right hand : cf. in ferand ardo la"im soscela, Charter vii. in Book
of Kells. One may infer that he was left-handed.

xxvi PREFACE.

10. Then the noble birds wailed sorrowfully : around the noble one,
around the abbot, they cried a cry greater than any cry.

11. His (left) hand comes to his forearm, Oengus without semblance1
of illegality — what miracle was mightier under heaven? — (there was)
healing without defect, without blemish.

1 2 . Let him pray for me with that (right) hand that neither evil nor hard
ship befall me : let him pray in unity of name, along with his namesake.-

13. The man who wove quatrains has come here, the sun of the west
of the world,3 of Meath : a bank (whereon) the headache attacked him, a
bank which is called the bank delightful.

Hence the kernel of fact in the traditional biography of
Oengus may be shortly stated as follows : — He was son of
Oengoba and a grandson of Oible"n. He was a contemporary of
Aed Ordnigthe, overking of Ireland from the year 793 to 817,
of Fothuth of the Canon (flor. 804), and of Connmach bishop of
Armagh (ob. 806). He became a monk in the monastery of
Clonenagh on the banks of the Nore in the Queen's county.
He afterwards joined the fraternity of Tallaght near Dublin, then
presided over by S. Maelruain, who died in 787, and whom
Oengus commemorates at Aug. n.4 Out of humility he
concealed his name, orders and attainments,5 and was for some
time employed in kiln-drying, grinding corn, and cutting wood.
He began his Martyrology at Clonenagh, finished it in Tallaght,
and showed it to Fothuth in 804. He afterwards became an
abbot and a bishop, of course without a see. He died on a
Friday, and was buried at Clonenagh. His obitual day is
March 1 1 ; but the year of his death is unknown. It may have
been 819, 824, or 830, in each of which years the eleventh of
March fell on a Friday.6

4 Maelruain's devotion to S. Michael (infra p. 12) seems evidenced by an
addition, half- Latin, half- Irish, to a Hibe.rno-latin hymn to that arch
angel, printed by Mone, Hymni Latini Medii Aevi, 1853, i. 447-449, and
now at Karlsruhe, viz. 'benedicat De[us] te et Michael for Mortmain ('says
Moelruain ') amen,' where for for Mortmain the MS. (in a Frankish hand of
the eighth century) has/<?r moilruWi.

THE AUTHOR OF THE MARTYROLOGY. xxvii

Whether Oengus son of Oengoba was a culdee is a little
doubtful. He certainly speaks of himself as bochtdn ' a pauper '
{Ep. 392), and in pauperdn triiagsa ' this wretched mendicant/
{Ep. 408), which points to membership of a society bound by
obligations of poverty. Moreover 'the title/ says Dr. Reeves,
4 by which he is invariably designated is that of Ctte Del But
he is not so styled in the Irish prefaces to the Marty rologies of
Oengus and Gorman. In the Book of Leinster 354° 22 and the
Lebar Brecc 23a 34 (where two lines of the Martyrology of
Oengus are cited), the author is simply called Oengus hua
Oibleain, Aengus hua Oibleni. So in Rawlinson B. 512, fo. 94a,
he is called merely Oengus mac Oiblen. So in the title to the
Brussels copy of the Martyrology of Tallaght : Incipit Martira
Oenghw/j maze Oiblein 7 Maelruain (h)ic. In the body of that
martyrology he is called a bishop. In fact, down to the seven
teenth century, when the Martyrology of Donegal was compiled,
our Oengus is never described as a C£le De, for the 'Oengus
Celi-de/ to whom the Saltair na Rann — a poem of the end of
the tenth century — is ascribed in a MS. of the twelfth — cannot
possibly have been our Oengus grandson of Oiblen. Since the
seventeenth century he has, no doubt, been called by Colgan,1
Lanigan,2 and others, a cele DC or culdee. This perhaps is all
that Dr. Reeves meant to say, and, in accordance with the current
practice, Oengus is so styled in the title-page of the present work.

What, then, is a culdee? The earliest instances of the
employment of the term cele De? literally ' servus Dei/ • are
in the Vita S. Findani, and in the Milan gloss 30° 3, where
it has no ecclesiastical significance. In Middle-Irish MSS. it
is applied to foreign monks,5 to religious Irishmen practising
poverty,6 to the ascetic Indian Brahmans.7 Ultimately the
plural cell De denoted a kind of secular canons, who occupied

1 Acta Sanctorum . . . Hiberniae, Lovanii, 1645.

- Ecclesiastical History of Ireland, III. 248. Lanigan calls cele De1 a
surname peculiar to himself (i.e. to Oengus hua Oiblein). He must have
overlooked Comgan cele De", Mart. Taml. and Mart. Gorm. at Aug. 2.

3 Latinised calledeus, keledeus, colideus, culdeus, whence the Scoto-
English culdee.

4 This phrase is used in the Book of Armagh, Thes.paL hib. II. 265 :
episcopus Bronus, filius Icni, seruus Dei.

an intermediate position between the monks and the secular
clergy.1 They had a rule of their own,2 regulating their food,
drink, communions, confessions, sleeping, fasting, tonsuring,
labour, etc. ; their head was called cenn ' chief,' or prioir
' prior/ not abb ' abbot ' : they were sometimes married ; and at
Armagh they looked after the sick,3 had charge of the repairs
of the church, and helped in the service of the choir and altar.

III. THE LANGUAGE OF THE MARTYROLOGY.

We have now to consider the characteristics of the language
of the Martyrology, especially as bearing on the date of its
composition. In the first edition, the following forms were
cited as proving that the language was Early Middle-Irish, and
that the Martyrology could not have been composed " much
before the end of the tenth century."

nair Jan. 8, was taken to be the O. Ir. adverb anair with a Middle-
Irish aphaeresis of a. But it is for ndir, gen. sg. msc. of the adj.
ndr 'high,' 'noble.'

na mbuidnib Ep. 295 was taken to be for O. Ir. inna m-buidnib 'in
their bands.' But the true reading, preserved by P, is hi mbuidnib ' in
bands.'

in gdir Oc. 20, in togu, Prol. 123, were supposed to be instances of
the Middle-Irish disuse of the neuter article. But the true readings are
a ngdir and a togu, the substitution of which leaves the metre intact.

inna, na for the nom. pi. msc. of the article, were regarded as
exclusively Middle-Irish. But they occur in the Old-Irish MSS.
Ml. 38° 9, 38° 9, 8oa 10, and Wb. 29a i6a : see infra p. 338, s.v. ind.

hua June 21, is monosyllabic in the line hua Liathain in ligach.
But the line should be emended thus, haue Liathain ligach, where haue is,
as in Old-Irish, disyllabic.

cethri cMt, ceithri deich, Sep. i, Oc. 16, 24, probably mere corrup
tions of the Old-Irish cethir chit (Thes. II. 29), cethir deich. So the ace. pi.
used for the nom. pi. in na ret(g]lanna July 29, and tengtha Ep. 125
might have been quoted as Middle-Irishisms ; but the corrections inna
retglainn and tengaid are obvious.

The proleptic use of the possessive pronoun at July 17 (a n-itge)

1 See Dr. Reeves' masterly essay, The Culdees of the British Islands,
Dublin, 1864, p. 10.

2 Lebar Brecc 9b. This is in prose. Their metrical rule is in the same
MS. p. 261, and in H. 2. 16, cols. 224, 225.

3 See the interesting entry in the Annals of Ulster, A.D. 920 : ' the raid
on Armagh on the loth of November by the Danes of Dublin, i.e. by
Godfred, son of I mar . . . and the prayer-houses with their company of
culdees (de cheilibh De} and of sick were protected by him.' Professor
Alexander Bugge, Vesterlandenes Indflydelse paa Nordboernes Samfundsfor-
holdi Vikingetiden, Christiania, 1905, p. 5, has not quite seized the force of
ceilidh De in this passage.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE MARTYROLOGY. xxix

which I supposed to be only Middle-Irish, is found in Wb. 8d 22 (a
gairte] and i8e 6 (a threte}.

The occurrence of the following verbal forms was also
regarded as pointing to the tenth or eleventh century :

bebais ' obiit,' Prol. 95, Feb. 18, Ap. 23, was taken to be a Middle-
Irish formation from the O. Ir. redupl. pret. bebe. But it is a regular
s-pret. from a reduplicated verb corresponding with Gr. fiifiaw, ftift^/^i
and Skr. jigati, and here used euphemistically.

dorimemar, Ep. 6, taken to be a Middle-Irish i pi. pret. of the verb
dorimiu, which, in Old-Irish, would be doruirmisem. But the true
reading is preserved in L and P, viz. do-ruimdemar, a regular formation
from the deponent do-midiur.

conicsid Ep. 393, is obviously a scribal corruption of the O.-Ir. conissid.

berthair, -trebthair Prol. 175, 176, for the Old-Irish plurals bertair,
-trebtar. The correction is easy, and in Prol. 176 B and F have bertair.

asa 'whose is,' Prol. 50, 98 etc., ata 'whose are' March 14 etc.
were supposed to be only Middle-Irish formations. But as a occurs in
Ml. 2C 3, issa in Ml. 90° 3, and ata-n in Wb. i2a n, Ml. i2b, and many
other Old-Irish documents.

In syntax the government of the dative by the prep, itir,
March n, Nov. 23, and the accusative by the prep, iar
(iarsin mbaigse), Ep. 315, are clearly Middle-Irish corruptions
which may be removed without injuring the metre. At
March 11, the line containing iter (or eter) is found only in
three MSS. (L£>, P, and C) and is apparently a comparatively
recent substitute for isind flaith uas flaithib, the reading of R^y
L, and F. In Nov. 23, though all the MSS. have tonnaib in
line 2 of the quatrain, this seems a scribal error due to the
presence of thonnaib in line 4. In Ep. 315 C and B have
preserved the true reading, viz. iarsin baigse.

The linguistic arguments against the antiquity of the
Martyrology having thus been disposed of, let us now consider
some archaic forms which point to the Old-Irish period, i.e. the
seventh, eighth, and 'ninth centuries.

Disyllabism.

The following words, monosyllables in Middle-Irish, are still
disyllabic in our Martyrology: aue Feb. 8, Ap. n, June 2I,1 gen.
haui May 16, Oct. 27, -bia, Jan. 13, Ep. 168 \-gliadt criad Ap. 19 :
dead2' July 15, Sep. 22, deud, Prol. 220, df/wSept. 13, dia July 16,
Ep. 1 66, lia (lie} Ap. 15 : luam Dec. 3 : No'is Prol. 84: 6ac Sep.

1 So in Fiacc's hymn 4 (haue, corruptly hoa, deochain], and in the St. Paul
codex aue Muredaich, Thes. pal. hib. II. 295.

• So in Fiacc's hymn, 1. 2, of which Prof. Bury (Life of St. Patrick, p. 264
note) says, "there is a metrical anomaly (daec [leg. deac\ a disyllabic)."
This is no anomaly. In Old- Irish deac is always disyllabic.

xxx PREFACE.

22, siur, July 6, Dec. 14, triur Jan. 24, Dec. 14, #?#*> Oc. 26, Ep.
432, 433, dfowtf Prol. 17, /rzW Ep. 438.

In LB and ^ disyllabism is sometimes marked by doubling
a vowel, e.g. cooir, Noois, siuur, triuur.

Declension.

As a rule, the Old-Irish paradigms are followed. But
Oengus tends to make oblique cases resemble the nom. sg.
Thus the msc. 0-stems Findach and Ndrach have their genitives
sg. Findach May 22, and Ndrach March 8 : so bordgal Prol.
275, baslic Nov. 19, and possibly trethan June 5. At Feb. 12,
crochthae is dat. sg. fern., and in Ep. 458 the voc. sg. msc.
of rathmar is identical with the nom. sg. of that adjective.
The gen. pi. of der = Sd/cpv is dtr, Ep. 400. The ;z-stems bn'i
Heriu, iriu and dile makes their dat. sg. bru Ep. 464, Here July 31,
ire, Ep. 25, 450, dile, Ep. 452. The dat. sg. of the /-stem is
bethu, Ep. 201. The ace. sg. felt\ Oc. 2, Dec. 30, seems from a
fern, f-stem. Stems in u make their gen. sg. in -o : locho, Feb. 7,
R, geno Oc. 3, Rl, or a : gena, Ap. 13, Sep. 16 ; betha, Prol. 140,
195, June 29, catha, datha.

Traces of a locative singular are : grian mdr des-maig Midi,
Prol. 226, Senoc Mugnai tuathmaig let/tain, Dec. II : ni mair
in drong uabair rdith Becce, Prol. 197-8 : rdid a paiss cinn
bliadnae, Sep. 17: dogne init chorgaiss, Nov. 13.

The adjectival z-stems make their gen. pi. in -e, even when
not used substantially. Thus aille, Ep. 83, mathe July 23.

The nom. of the fern, numeral teoir ' three ' occurs in Sep. i ,
where it is disyllabic, like teuir (from *tisores\ Thes. II, p. 291.

Comparison.

The superlative in m survives : amram Sep. 24 : ardam
March 23, Dec. 27, Ep. 207 : deodam Ep. 498 : nbibem July 14.
But the Middle-Irish use of the comparative for the superlative
is already beginning : amru Aug. 20 : cddu March 20 : ddnu,
daingniu May 23: dilsiu Prol. 262; dixu Jan. 18 : ferdu
Aug. 2Q\ glainiu Prol. 246, isliu Prol. 153, ndebu Jan. 20,

Infixed Pronouns.
The infixed pronouns in the Martyrology are as follows :

Non-relative forms. Dental forms.

Sg. i . m: before a vowel mm ... ... -dom-

Sg. 2. t - ... -dat-

Sg. 3. msc. an : after do and ni, n ... ... -dn-,-d-,-idn-?-id

Pl. i. 11, before a vowel, nn ... ... ... -don-

2. b : before t,p ... ... ... ... (-dab-)

3. a, s (n) ... ... ... ... ... -da-

The dental forms are regularly relative : see for instance
ar-don-sela, ' what escapes us/ June 23, and Ep. 376, 377, where
fo-m-gluassi means * disquiets me,' but fo-dom-ghiassi, ' what
disquiets me/ but dental forms are used after ad- and some other
preps. Thus in atateoch-sa (ad-dat-t.\ ' I entreat thee ' Ep. 304,
there is no relativity.

It is unnecessary to quote examples of the first and second
persons, which are easily recognisable. The multiform pronouns
of the third person are as follows :

Sg. 3 msc. an: n-an-dle Feb. 7, 6 dondnic Ap. 14, should
perhaps be 6 d-an-dnic, imm-a-curtis Ap. 27, f-a-rith Ep. 407.

ro : Most of the occurrences of this common particle are
collected in the glossarial index. In compound verbs it stands
after the first, or only preposition : do-ro-dbad Prol. 96 ; imma-

Conjugation.

In the verb, the Old-Irish distinction between the absolute
and the conjunct forms is invariably preserved. Thus in the 3d
sg. pres. ind. active we find the following absolute forms :

maraid Prol. 168, 204, 244, 252, bith-maraid 232, 255. moraith
1 1 6, bith-trdgaith 231 ; and with affixed pronouns, berth-i Ep. 196,

and the following conjunct forms :

Of these, beside the s- and t- preterites, there are two classes,

In ro era Ep. 474, ro pJiraidcJii Prol. 164 (= ropritchai, Trip.
40, 1. 4) and n? chruidi Ep. 136, we seem to have presents made
preterites by the prefix ro. See KSB. vii. 4 ; Strachan, Verbal
System of the Saltair na Rann, p. 32, and cf. the passive form
ro gabthar ' it \vas sung,' Ml. 24d 14.

Deponents.

The deponential forms in the Martyrology are :

Pres. ind. sg. \,frisdiliur Ep. 560. no molur Prol. 13, and
perhaps conruidiur, Prol. 277 : sg. 2 armuinter Oc. 2, mem-
raigther, March 2, r# clunter Prol. 282: pi. i. no-s-molamar
Jan. 17 ^.

Imperative sg. 2, cluinte Ep. 314, 365, 425, molthae Sep. 2,
(where the MSS. have molatha, molothd}.

Subjunctive sg. 2 : foraithmentar Sep. 8. r# fesser Feb. 4,

Feb. 9, 1 6. Perf. sg. 3 ro genair Sep. 24. pi. i, do- s-ruimdemar
Ep. 6. pi. 3, ro damnatar Prol. 53.

Passage from deponential to active forms is shown, I think,
only in one verb, viz. molmae Aug. 31, the relative form of the
pres. ind. pi. i of molur ^ and that such passage had commenced
in the Old- Irish period is proved by the b- future molfait Ml.
69b i. The deponential inflexion seems to prove that our
Martyrology is at the latest not later than the ninth century.1

Passive.

In the passive, the pres. ind. 3 sg. and 3 pi. still observe the
difference between the absolute and the relative (identical with
the conjunct) forms. Thus bertar Prol. 175, ' who are carried

In the preterite sg. 3 the absolute forms end in -tae, -thae, the
conjunct in -/, -th : absolute brelhae Jan. 25, June 11, carthae
May 9, crochthae Feb. 12, ortae Jan. 26, March 6, Sep. 7;

June 16, July 30, (so as-breth, do-breth). In -doss Oc. 15 (from
*klusto) the ^ has been assimilated to the s of the root klus ' to
hear' (cf. Zend, a-srusta, OHG. hloseri}. In -fess Prol. 135, ss is
from </-£

In a-verbs the perfect sg. 3 ends in -a-d : ro crochad Prol. 89,
doro-dbadg6 : romorad, ro rigad 103, 104, ro mudiad 169, roerad
206, ro lenad 253. In 1-verbs it ends in -ed, ro milled Prol. 213.

In the 3rd pi., the manuscripts of our Martyrology point to
-ta, -tha for o- and a-verbs, and to -tea, -thea for I-verbs. This is
the rule in the Old-Irish glosses : see GC.2 478.

Reduplicated future pi. 3. do-genatar^p. 176 (gen- fcomgign-).

Participle of necessity : rdti Ap. 9, gessi Dec. 2, Sep. 28,
clitki Dec. 9, Ep. $o6,Jissi Ep. 335, denti Ep. 392.

Verb Substantive and Copula.

The forms which in the Martyrology make up the verb
substantive and copula are collected in the glossarial index, s.vv.
am, ata, biuu, dianda, dodiuissin^feil, nim-tha and tdu. Of these
the atonic am is from *emy Goth, im, Gr. et/u, Lith. estnl, Skr.
dsmi : tdu, atd (ad-ta), dian-da and nim-tha are cognate with
Lat. sto : biuu with Lat. vivo ; and feil (originally meaning
void1) with the Irish fili ' poet ' (seer), Cymr. gweled ' to see/ and
Old Norse vb'lva ' seeress.' Nimtha ' not so is ' is from ni-imtha,
and im-tha ('so is') is a compound of td ( = Lat. stat) and im,
cognate with Lat. imitor, imago, aeimilor.

Syntax.

So much for the ancient grammatical forms of the
Martyrology. Its syntax is also highly archaic. Thus the dat. pi.
is often used as an instrumental, without a governing preposition :
for instance :

iarna fbebraib fennad 'after flaying them with sword-edges/ Prol. 48.
ind locdin rogabtha deissib ocus tririb 'the little places that have been
taken by pairs and by trios,' Prol. 209.

literally ' le voici.'

Cyriacus crochthae trib cetaib don-ascnai ' Cyriacus who was crucified
comes to us with three hundreds,' May 12.

Ciar trib cetaib cdinib ' Ciar with three fair hundreds,' Oc. 16.

The dative pi. is used without a preposition also in is
dallcheilliu doinib ''tis a blind direction to men,' Prol. 316, and
in luaidfidir Idedib limmsa ' it will be sung in lays by me,' Thes.
pal. hib.y 295. An instance of a similar use of the dative sg. is
foisitin oendatad ' through confession of the oneness,' ibid. 354,
and cf. cunn, ceill, curp Ep. 52, colbu Ep. 74.

Again, the genitive, singular or plural, often precedes the
governing noun. For instance :

Trenaccat lo ' Tringad's grave/ and part of the Gaulish
bilingual of Todi : Ategnati Drutikni karnidu logan Koisis
Drutiknos " Coisis son of Drutos heaped up the tomb of
Ategnatos son of Drutos.'

A third archaism in our Martyrology is the frequent position
of the adjective before the substantive with which it agrees.
Thus crdibdig i fell Fursa, Jan. 16, ard dige Prol. 119, 243,
ard imbel 131, etrocht age, Feb. io,cdin cathar, Aug. 15.

A fourth archaism is the occasional position of the accusative
before the governing verb. Thus :

ar Christ cech mbdis breuis ' for Christ's sake he vanquished every
lust,' Ap. 4.

re Notlaicc aird aurgaiss dogne ' before high Christmas thou shouldst
make great prayer,' Nov. 13.

lucht fris' fdilti feraim ' the folk to whom I make welcome,' Ep. 49.
felire ro scrtitus ' I have searched out martyrologies,' Ep. 109.

d Issu, mdrfertae dorignis ' O Jesus, who hast wrought great miracles,'
Ep. 506.

The result is that, with one exception, the grammar and
syntax of our Martyrology maybe regarded as strict Old-Irish.
The exception is the occasional use of the comparative for the
superlative. It now seems to me that it is easier to believe
that this Middle-Irishism existed as early as A.D. 800 than to
cast aside the traditional evidence that Oengus wrote about that
date. This belief is confirmed by the facts that the author has
only one vigil (Aug. 15) ; that he has only five festivals of the
B.V. Mary (there are in the Roman calendar fourteen 'of
universal obligation ') ; and that no saint or other person who
certainly died in the ninth century is mentioned in his
Martyrology. Paulus Diaconus (Ap. 13), who died before
A.D. 800, and Aireran of the Wisdom (Aug. n), who succeeded
Maelruain A.D. 792, are the most modern saints here com
memorated ; and it is possible that here the scholiast erred, and
that this Aireran was meant by Oengus for the Aileran ind ecni,
who died in the year 604. That our Martyrology was not
written before the ninth century is proved by the mention of
S. Joseph at March 19.*

See The Irish Liber Hymnorum II. 118, per Dr Bernard.

THE METRE OF THE MARTYROLOGY.

IV. THE METRE OF THE MARTYROLOGY.

Only five metrical martyrologies are known to me, viz. :
Baeda's Martyrologium Poeticum1 (which at March 17 contains
the line Patricius2 Domini servus conscendit ad aulam), the
Martyrologium Wandalberti,3 the Anglo-Saxon Menologium
Poeticum,4 the Martyrology of Gorman,5 and the Martyrology
of Oerigus. The first two are in Latin hexameters. The
Martyrology of Gorman is in the Irish metre called rinnard
mor, 'great rinnard/ in which the stanzas may consist of 4,
6, 8, 10, 12, or even 14 lines. The Martyrology of Oengus
consists of 591 quatrains, each of which is independent
in sense. The elaborate metre (rinnard) in which they are
written is described, not quite completely, in the prose prefaces.
Its chief characteristics are as follows :

1. Each line of the quatrain contains six syllables. The
solitary exception is Ep. 459, where Loth should perhaps be
corrected to Lothus.

2. Each line must end (like the Ovidian pentameter) in a
disyllabic. To this rule there are exceptions in the case of
alaile, araile and of foreign proper names/' And Irish verbs
compounded with prepositional prefixes are, for metrical
purposes, regarded as being in tmesi. So the proclitics — the
article, possessive pronouns, verbal prefixes, copula, preposi
tions, negative particles, are not regarded as part of the words
with which they are written in the MSS. On the other hand,
the pronominal suffixes -ni, -sa, -se, -si, -sin, -su, -som, are deemed
(for metrical purposes) to convert the monosyllables to which
they are annexed into disyllables.

3. Each end-word must be accented on the penult. Take,
for example, the quatrains for Jan. I and Jan. 10 :

Re sil dalach d6ine Almini a n-itge

t6ided in ri remain, nachan tecma drochrann,

luid fo recht ard erail Milit caid cain cathbarr,

Crist i callaind enair. Diarmait Inse Clothrann.

1 Migne's Patrologia Latina, t. xciv., coll. 603-606.

- So in Baeda's prose Martyrology, at March 17, in Scotia S. Patricii
confessoris. And yet a writer who ought to know better, asserts that Baeda
' studiously ignored S. Patrick.'

3 Migne's Patrologia Latina, t. cxxi., coll. 585-623. Wandalbert, a monk
in the diocese of Treves, wrote about 50 years after Oengus.

4 Cotton, Tiberius B. i, last printed in the Bibliothek der angelsachsichen
Poesie, 1894, Bd. II. 282-293.

5 Edited by W. S. and issued by the Henry Bradshaw Society in 1895.

6 In Stephdni Dec. 26, Oengus (metri gratia) has not only accented,
but lengthened the penult. Cf. Stephd.no, Merchant of Venice, v. i.

xl PREFACE.

Here the four end-words happen to be nouns ; but the rule
is the same in the case of paroxyton verbs. Thus in the prologue
233-236 and 141-144:

In gormrig ro miichtha, Bid ar menmae uile

in Domnaill ro plagtha, ar thiiaith De nad celam,

in Chiarain ro rigtha, is torbe dian promam

in Chronain ro martha. in prolach do-beram.

Here in one quatrain the four end-words, and in the other the
last three end-words, are verbs accented on the penult. Many
more such instances will be found in the Revue Celtique. vi.
283-285, where all the verbal line-endings in our Martyrology
are collected.

4. The end-words of the second and fourth lines must
assonate, z>., the vowels must be the same and the consonants
must be of the same class.

The consonantal classes are as follows :

(1) c,t,py and uninfected g, d, b.

(2) Ch}th,ph,ff*

(3) £>&, dh, bh, mh, n, r, I.

(4) mmy nnf ng> rr, //.

(5) '.4

5. Final -e in the first and third lines may assonate with
final ae in the second and fourth lines, and final i in the first and
third lines may assonate with final -ai in the second and fourth
lines. Thus ae in togae Jan. 6 assonates with nglain^ and Maire,
and ai in Tiamdtfz Aug. 22 assonates with nan i and Emilianz :
see further Strachan, Rev. Celt, xx, 191, 295.

6. The end-word of the third line may assonate with a
disyllabic in the interior of the fourth line. But where such
assonance is absent, the final syllable of the third line must
assonate with the final syllables of the second and fourth lines :
see Prol. 25-28, where -sa in the third line assonates with -sa
in the second and fourth :5 or the final syllable of the third line
must assonate with the final syllable of a word in the interior of

1 cht may rhyme with / (Ep. 72).

2 Thus fethis, cathlaic, dithi respectively rhyme with Effis, Affraic,
Liffi, a proof, if such were wanted, that in Old-Irish th was pronounced
somewhat like the English dental spirant in thing. See Rev. Celt. III.
1 86, and Celt. Zeits. I. 454.

3 nn rhymes with nnt at July 30, with nt at Nov. 21.

4 See Prol. 17-10; 57-60; 62-64; 74-76; 150-152; 182, 184, etc.
Exceptions to the rules as to classes, in other words faulty consonantal
rhymes, will be found in the Prologue 170, 172, and at Feb., 15

the fourth. See Prol. 5-8, and 157-160, where the final syllable
of aingliu assonates with the final syllable of ckoimmdiu, and
Prol. 42-44, 281-284, 329-332, and Feb. 4, 13, 14, 19, where the
final consonants of cala<^, altar, frithgna;;/, uasa/, nuala^^,
clanda^/, maine^ assonate with the final consonants of lines
2 and 4.

When the final syllables of lines I, 2, 3, and 4 assonate the
metre is called rinnard cethir n-ard ' rinnard of four rhyming
final syllables.' For example, at March 17 and June 17 :

Lassar grene an^ In doss oir 6s chricho2$,

apstal Herenn h6g£ in grian an lias tuathtf/^,

Patraic co meit mile congreit rig, bale brathaz>,

rop ditiu ar tr6g£ caid mil, Moling Liiacha/r.

When the final syllables of lines 2, 3, and 4 assonate the
metre is called rinnard tri n-ard 'rinnard of three rhyming
final syllables.' For example, at Jan. 4 and June 14:

Bas caid Aquilini Conrecat dib linib

co mbuidin ba balcu for oenlith ler sluagac/i,

hi fuil Christ trea curp^ Nem maccu Birn

docdemnachtar tlacht^ la Benedicht

and so in the quatrain for Jan. I, where -ain, -ail, -air are the
three assonating ards, and in that for Jan. 27, where lines 2, 3,
and 4 end in -aib.

When the final syllables of only lines 2 and 4 assonate the
metre is called rinnard da n-ard ' rinnard of two rhyming final
syllables.' Thus at Jan. 24 and June 22 :

Domm anmain, domm chorpan La hlac6b nAlphaei

rop mur ar cech merbl/«, da nocht cet, cliar ngelda^,

Babill, bruth oir forlan feil fir nad char corplen

cona thriur dedblen. Cronan fortren Fern#£.

In the Irish prefaces the quatrain for March I is given as
an example of rinnard da n-ard. If this be not a mistake,
Moysi in line 3 should be Moyse, and then the two ards are the
final syllables of rigudz' and Mum.

/. In each quatrain there must be alliteration (tiaini), that is
to say, two, three or more accented syllables must begin with
the same letter — all the vowels being, for this purpose, deemed
identical, and /t, infected f and transported nasals being dis
regarded. For example, in the quatrain for Jan. 7, -dni,
(}\)uaisliu and Issu alliterate, and in the quatrain for Jan. 4,
mbuidin and £alcu are regarded as beginning with the same
letter. Needless to quote other examples of consonantal
alliteration.

xlii PREFACE,

8. The last characteristic of rinnard is what the Irish preface
in R2 (supra p. 14) ca\\sfidrad cubaid etir tosaichib na rann ocus
deridib na rann ele 'an harmonious juncture between the
beginnings of the quatrains and the ends of the other (i.e. the
last preceding) quatrains,' and what modern Irish scholars
call conachlann.1 This agreement is not obligatory. It may be
either complete, as in the case of the third quatrain of the in
vocation prefixed to the prologue — the first line of which is
identical with the last line of the second quatrain — or partial, as
when the first accented word in the second quatrain — gelgrian
—alliterates with gile, the final word of the first. So rigrady
the first accented word in the fourth quatrain, alliterates with
rlgraid. So in the f quatrains for the first seven days of
February, the pairs Erenn and Airitiu, airi and Andreas each
begin with a vowei, and each of the pairs Sim/roni and /nonius,
<:resen and <:rochthae, wi'li and J/ellan, begin with the same
consonant The object of this device is, of course, to aid the
memory. There is, I believe, in Welsh verse a similar device
called adgymmeriad ' anadiplosis/ and there is something like
it in a French poem quoted in Isaac Disraeli's Curiosities of
Literature, London, 1838, p. 1 08, where the last word of every
line is identical with the first word of the following line.

I have dwelt at some length on the characteristics of this
metre, partly because nothing is more important for correcting
the corrupt text of a poem (and every copy of the Martyrology
is full of scribal corruptions) than a right understanding of the
rules by which the author was guided ; partly because observa
tion of the technical skill of the maker of the poem now printed
is almost the only source of pleasure derivable from his work ;
and partly because Ezzardi's suggestion2 that the metre of the
Martyrology of Oengus appears to have been the model of the
Skaldic drottkvcett, especially the hattlausa, makes the Irish rin
nard matter of interest for Teutonic, as well as for Celtic, scholars.

V. THE CONTENTS OF THE POEM.3

After an invocation of Christ, who is called ' Lord of the seven
heavens,' * King of the bright sun,' and a reference to the saints

1 An old example of this is in Amergin's poem, Ailini iath n-Erenn, etc.,
Book of Ballymote, 4ob 20, where the end-words mothach, srethach, lindmar
are identical with the first words of the following lines.

- In Paul u. Braune's Beitraege zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache u.
Literatur^ 1878, ss. 583,^584. Ezzardi cites from O'Donovan's Irish
Grammar the quatrain for March 17, and says Dies versmass scheint das
vorbild des drottkv. zunachst der hattlausa, gewesen zu sein. For a specimen
of drottkvsett see Ker, The Dark Ages, p. 302.

3 In this and the preceding section I have drawn on the preface to the
first edition of the Martyrology of Oengus.

THE CONTENTS OF THE POEM. xliii

mentioned in the Martyrology, the poet begins his prologue
(11. 21-340). He describes (11. 29-48) the various modes of
martyrdom which the warriors of Jesus (inilid Isii} suffered with
cheerful heroism. They now, unlike the great pagan kings, enjoy
their eternal reward with Mary's Son, while their relics are
enshrined in sparkling gold (11. 49-84). Herod and Pilate are
then contrasted with Christ, Nebudchadnezzar with Paul the
Monk, Herod and his queen with John the Baptist, Nero
with Peter and Paul, Pilate's queen with Mary the Virgin.
Then come some reflections on the nothingness of earthly
power and mundane potentates as compared with the love of
Mary's Son and with the lowly soldiers (amsdin) of Jesus. In
Ireland, for example, Tara, the seat of the heathen high-kings,
has perished,1 while Armagh remains with her crowd of Christian
champions. King Loiguire's glory has departed, but St.
Patrick's name lives on. Various ruined strongholds of the
pagan Irish — Rathcroghan, Allen, Emain and others — are then
contrasted with the monasteries — Clonmacnois, Kildare,
Glendalough, Ferns — which flourished in the ninth century.
The forgotten renown of pagan chieftains, like Donnchad, Bran
and Domnall, is contrasted with the abiding glory of Christ and
the Irish saints, Mael-ruain, Ciaran, Cronan. The poet then
breaks out into a laudation of Jesus, prays for success in the work
in hand, and concludes his prologue by describing the nature of
the Martyrology.

Then comes the Martyrology, which consists of 365 quatrains
(or 366, if we include the one for bisextus in the note on
Feb. 23). Unlike the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Anglo-
Saxon Menologium, which begin with Dec. 25, Oengus
commences with the feast of the Circumcision, and ends
with that of S. Sylvester. The Crucifixion and Conception
of Christ are commemorated on the same day (March 25). As
in the Hieronymian Martyrology, and the Martyrology of Tours,2
the Resurrection of our Lord is fixed at March 27. His first
Ascension is at May 5 (so in Galba A. xviii. fo. 7a, and Harl. 863,
f°- 3a) J tne mission of the Apostles is at July 15 : the nativity
of Mary Magdalen, at July 22. In associating (Jan. 6) the
Kpiphany with Christ's Baptism, and not with the visit of the
Magi, Oengus follows the tradition of the Eastern, rather than
that of the Western Church;5 So he follows the Greek, not the
Roman, church in celebrating S. Euphemiaat July 1 1. Probably
there are other like instances obvious to anyone more familiar

than I with Christian hagiology. S. John the Baptist's nativity is
at June 24 : his conception at Sep. 24. Gallican influence appears
in the commemoration of the Circumcision (not the octave of the
Nativity) on Jan. I : of the Assumption of the Virgin and the
Cathedra S. Petri on Jan. 18 : of the Passion on March 25 : of the
Resurrection on March 27 : of St. John and St. James on Dec. 2/.1

Oengus mentions (p. 270) as his foreign sources the ' vast
tome (pairt) of Ambrose, the Sensus of Hilary, the Antigraph
of Jerome, and the Martyrology of Eusebius.'2 What work of
Ambrose (or Ambrosiaster) is meant, I cannot imagine. Hilary's
* Sensus ' is equally obscure, whether the Hilary referred to was
Hilary of Poitou or Hilary of Aries.3 Jerome's Antigraph
(avrLypafyov) is doubtless the Pseudo-Jerome, the so-called
Martyrologium Hieronymianuni, so carefully edited by De Rossi
and Duchesne, and so often cited in this book as Mart.
Hier. The MS. used by Oengus resembled the Epternach copy,
which is said to represent a British form of the Martyrology.3
The ' Martyrology of Eusebius ' may be the lost work of
Eusebius on which the Martyrologium Hieronymianum is said
to be based. Or it may be the ap^aLwv fjbaprvpwv crvva<ya)<yr],
of which, according to Herzfeld, one part, entitled De Martyribus
Palaestinae, has been preserved.

Bishop Forbes has remarked that nearly all the Irish saints
commemorated by Oengus are the same as those in the [twelfth
century ?] kalendar contained in the Drummond Missal, but
that the selection of non-Irish saints is very different.4

How little the Irish Church of the early Middle Ages
knew of foreign saints is evidenced by the facts that Oengus,
at May 28, mistakes Germanus of Paris, who died A.D. 576, for
Germanus of Auxerre (ob. A.D. 448) the tutor of S. Patrick :
at Aug. 1 6, he puts Adrio for Orion an Alexandrian martyr: at
June 4, Apollinaris for the Egyptian Apollonius. At July 21 he
treats the Roman virgin Praxides as if she was a male saint ;
and at Feb. 3 and 4, he has made imaginary saints, ' Simfronius '
and 4 Fronius,' out of the latter part of a place-name, Forum
Semproni, now Fossornbrone, in Umbria. The mediaeval
glossators are equally ignorant. Thus Siric, Nov. 26, said
to be an Irish bishop of Mag Bolg, is certainly the pope
Siricius, who died on Nov. 26, A.D. 398. St. Oswald, Aug. 5, is
confounded with Aldfrid (Flann Fina) : Constantine, the

1 See Warren's Liturgy and Ritual of the Celtic Church, p. 273, note 5,
and d'Arbois de Jubainville, Revue Celtique, ix. 118.

2 It is just possible that Oengus referred to a lost work of the latter saint,
Homiliae in totius anni Festivitates.

successor of Mochutu, abbot of Rathen (p. 92), with Constantine
son of Fergus : Isidorus of Antioch with Isidorus of Seville :
Lupus the martyr with Lupus, bishop of Troyes : Publius, an
African martyr, with a Paulus unknown at Feb. 19: Apollinaris
the Christian writer with Apollinaris of Ravenna, the martyr.

As is the case with the oldest martyrologies, the entries in
our Felire are generally of the most meagre description. Here
they consist of the name of the Irish or foreign saint com
memorated, with some stock epithet or standing phrase tacked
on, so as to comply with the exigencies of metre, rhyme, and
alliteration. But sometimes brief reference is made to a
tradition, a tale, or a legend. Thus in the Prologue 2, and
in the Epilogue 120, 401, Oerigus speaks of the seven heavens, a
number which seems ultimately derived from the Babylonian
seven tubukdti? whence the seven heavens of Judaism, of Islam,
and of the apocryphal Revelation of Peter,2 chap. 27. At Jan. 27,.
the poet mentions the wild story of Li-ban or Muirgein, the
mermaid, told in Lebor na huidre, pp. 40, 41 :3 at Feb. 6 the
legend of Lucia, who could not be dragged to martyrdom : at
Feb. 6 the tradition of the introduction of bees into Ireland : at
Feb. 16 the legend of Juliana and the Devil :4 at March 9 the
legend of the forty Cappadocian soldiers to whom the sun shone
at the bottom of a lake : at April 9 the belief that the blood of
the martyr Quadratus still remains. This belief is paralleled, and
perhaps explained, by one still held in Ireland. In the S.W.
corner of Tech Molaisse on Inismurray is a dark red appearance
caused by the growth of a small fungus. The natives say that it is
caused by the blood of the martyred saint, and that however often
it is scraped away, it will always come again.5 Then at April 5
\ve have the kindling (i.e., the commencement) of baptism by
S. Patrick : at April 14 the tradition (mentioned also in Fiacc's
hymn) that bishop Tassach houseled the dying apostle of the
Irish : at April 17 the pathetic tale of the martyrdom of Donnan
of Eig : at Aug. 16 the story of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus6 r

at Aug. 24, the mention of Patrick senior, as the fosterer of
St. Patrick :l at Aug. 25, the tradition of St. Bartholomew's
death : at Sep. 4 the legend of the orphans playing round Ultan,
who had saved them from dying of hunger : at Sep. 23, the story
of Adamnan's liberation of Irishwomen from military service : at
Sep. 29 the legend of S. Michael the Archangel and Antichrist:
at Oct. 23 the wounding of Christ by Longinus : at Nov. 23
the legend of Clement and the sea : at Dec. 8 that of Egbert
and his skinless coracle; and at Dec. 21 the traditional death of
St. Thomas in India. Here we have traces of that tendency
to give a fuller form to the primitive martyrologies, which was
first displayed by Baeda (ob. 735), and then developed by Florus
(about 830), Rabanus Maurus (about 840), Usuard (about 875)
and Notker (about 912).

The body of our Martyrology is followed by the Epilogue,
or, as the Irish oddly call it, the final Prologue. After referring
generally to the Martyrology, and acknowledging Christ's
help in composing it, Oengus prays for eternal life along
with the saints whom he has commemorated. He declares that
they have blessed whomsoever shall sing it, and that they will
come to attend him when he dies, The poet then enumerates
his sources, the four works already mentioned, and ' Ireland's
host of books, the martyrologies of the men of the Gaels.' He
again refers to the blessings bestowed on the reciter of his poem,
the last mentioned (11. 221-224) being :

" His soul without conflict
in heaven with brightness,
after him when he has attained it,
the dew of his grave will heal. "3

The poet then classifies the persons commemorated — the
nine ranks of angels, prophets, apostles, martyrs, bishops, saints,
priests, monks and virgins of Ireland, who will all, he says,
befriend him. After praying the saints to beseech Christ on his
behalf, he adjures Jesus by the sufferings t)f saints and penitents,
by the offerings of His Body arid Blood, by His Manhood and
His Godhead, to grant him what he is contending for. The rest
of the Epilogue resembles the commendatio animae quando
infirmus est in extremis,4 and is occupied with longings to pass

from the afflictions of the world, and prayers to be saved like
Elijah and Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Jonah, Isaac, Jacob,
the Children of Israel, Job, Samson, David, Susannah, the three
children, Tobit, the people of Nineveh, Daniel, Moses, Paul and
Peter, John ' from the vat of fire/ Martin ' from the priest of
the idol,' Patrick ' from the poisonous drink at Tara,' Coemgin
' from the falling of the mountain.'

The poem concludes with another prayer to be saved, and
an entreaty that the saints commemorated in the Martyrology
may convoy us to our solace.

It must be confessed that in all this long composition there
is not a trace of imaginative power or of observation of nature
and human life as they really are. Here, as in the Martyrology
of Gorman, the language is, as Wordsworth said of the English
verse of the eighteenth century, the language of men composing
without their eye on the object. Here, as in most of the Irish
verse that has come down to us, substance is ruthlessly sacrificed
to form, and the observance of the rigorous rules of metre seems
regarded as an end in itself. Touches characteristic of the
poet's time and country are here almost wholly absent. The
quatrain for May 17, in which Oengus treats three saints as if
they were three Irish chieftains making a raid into heaven in
their war-chariots, is about the only passage that can be quoted
as racy of the soil.1 It is perhaps an adaptation of a formula
inherited from earlier bardic poetry. The frequent metaphorical
use in the Martyrology of words meaning sun, moon, star,
diadem, flame, gold, housepost, pillar, town, rampart, bush and
mountain may also be due to secular song. Compare, for
instance, the poem in praise of King Crimthan, attributed
to Dubthach ua Lugair (LL. 45a), where, in the course of the
first five verses, that monarch is called drumne d'or ' house-
ridge of gold,' in breo bdgach ' the warlike flame,' in sliab
dergoir 'the mountain of red gold,' and lastly, in doss ditnes
dronga Domnann ' the bush that protects the troops of Meath.'

VI. THE NOTES.

Every copy of the Martyrology contains, besides interlinear
or marginal glosses, bodies of notes in Irish, or mediaeval Latin,
or a mixture of both, written between the lines, or on the

religious sentiment, see Miscellany of the Celtic Society, Dublin, 1849, p. 338,

xlviii PREFACE.

margins, or after the quatrain or month referred to. Of the
sources of these notes nothing certain is known. But from the
statement in Laud 610 at June 15 (infra p. 140), we may fairly
infer that a commentary (trachtad) on the Martyrology, existed
in Armagh, if not * from the time of the saints/ at least from an
early period ; and that some, at all events, of the entries in the
notes were derived from this commentary.

For the entries relating to the constitution and discipline
of the Irish church, to Irish architecture, metal-work, calligraphy,
embroidery, music and verse, to the food, homes, morals, laws and
amusements of the Gaels, reference may be made to the first
edition of our Martyrology, pp. 24, 25, and to the Index of
Things in the present volume. Here I shall only notice the
scholia that throw some light on early Irish religious practices,
superstitions, folklore, and legal antiquities.

(a) Religious Practices.

Of these the most frequently mentioned is fasting (troscud],
a practice belonging in ancient Ireland to the sphere of law1 as
well as to that of religion. Here it is used for the fall of a tree
worshipped by the heathen (p. 118), for the cure of dumbness,
p. 1 66, for the restoration of an eye, p. 244, to procure the death
of a hated saint, p. 204. It sometimes lasted for three days,
and was then called tredan (pp. 36, 69, 235), a loan from the
Latin triduana. The lenten fasts of Moses and Jesus, each lasting
for forty nights, are mentioned in pp. 3?, 42, 234. For the
benefits of fasting coupled with prayer, see Adamndris Second
Vision, Revue Celtique xii. 432-438.

Prayer\ for this there are no less than six native Irish vocables,
attach, aurgaiss, dubart, ernaigthe, guide, itge, and one loanword,
diprecoit. Prayer is addressed to God, p. 271, to Christ, pp. 279,
282, 283, to the saints, pp. 17, 35, 80, and is made on our behalf
by them and the martyrs, pp. 163, 274. The prayer of a
hundred believers is said to be equivalent to a recitation of the
Martyrology, p. 273. The Irish used at least three postures in
their worship, viz., kneeling on both knees, kneeling with the arms
stretched out in a cross, and prostration. Ere Nascai (p. 130)
prayed (standing upright ?) in water2 with a tie round his neck.
Prayers, as well as curses, were most effective when the right
hand was employed. See p. xxiv supra, and p. 200 infra.
Genuflexion is twice mentioned, pp. 12, 154, and in the poem
printed supra, p. xxiv, Oengus is said to have made three
hundred every night.

THE NOTES. xlix

Austerities. — It is hard to say whether Irish saints or Indian
yogis practised the cruelest austerities. Many of them are
described in Lives of Saints from the Book of Lismore, p. cviii,
and in Cuimmin's poem, Zeitschr. fur celtische Philologie, i.
62-66. In the present work the strangest are ascribed to
Findchu, who used to lie the first night with every corpse that
was brought to his church for burial, and at other times sat
suspended by a sickle in each of his armpits (p. 246). Ciaran of
Saiger's bolster was of stone (p. 88). Columb cille's broth was
made of nettles (p. 146). Flagellation is mentioned in p. 280,
as practised by Oengus himself. Ite kept a stag-beetle to
pierce her side (p. 42), and Fursa transferred to his own stomach
the devouring reptile which Maignenn had entertained in his
belly (p. 44). The story of Scothme sleeping with two maidens
(p. 40) tends to prove the existence in Ireland of an ascetic
practice favoured by an early Christian sect and by Robert
d'Arbrissel the founder of Fontevrault.1

Pilgrimage. — The Irish passion for pilgrimage lasted from
the sixth to at least the ninth century. The subject is well dealt
with in the Gaelic Life of St. Columba, Lismore Lives^ 11. 698-720,
and in Plummer's Baeda II. 170. In the present work we read
not only of pilgrimages to Glastonbury and Rome, but to places
in Ireland, such as Ferns and Rathen. Pilgrimage to Mael-
ruain's grave is suggested in p. 26. But the great religious
migration from Ireland to the Continent, which prevailed in the
eighth and following centuries, was viewed with disfavour by
Maelruain and the sages (sruithi) whom he consulted.2

Collection and ivorsJiip of Relics. — Relics were not only worn
on the person, but were essential to the consecration of churches,
and the practice of gathering them is here illustrated by the
story of Onchu and Maedoc (p. 70), the tale of Patrick's leper,
Comlach, p. 204, and the account of Adamnan's collection
(p. 210). They were sometimes enshrined in gold (p. 20).
Special notice is taken of the relics of Saints Peter and Paul
(pp. 46, 220), Thomas (p. 166), Martin (p. 144), Patrick (p. 204),
Columb cille (p. 1 56), and the reciter of the Martyrology (p. 274).
A special feast of holy relics is fixed at Oct. I ; but it is not clear
from the scholium in p. 220, where this feast was celebrated.
The relics 'consecrated to Michael ' (p. 12), may have been the
contents of a reliquary in the monastery of Tallaght.

Worship of Crosses. — This seems implied in the story about
Hua Suanaig's cross (p. 466), and in the poem cited supra,
p. xxiv, §§ 2, 4. With the 'cloister behind the circle of crosses'

1 See further H. Achelis, Virgines subintrodtictae, Leipzig, 1902.

\ v PREFACE.

compare the circular device in H. J. Lawlor's Chapters on the
Book of Mulling, p. 167. Signing a banquet ' with the cross of
God and Eusebius ' is mentioned in p. 210.

(b) Superstitions and Folklore.

Idolatry (idoladrad) is referred to in p. 74, in the case of the
Roman virgin Juliana ; and the Gaulish idol from whose priest
S. Martin was saved is mentioned in p. 288, But these are
foreign instances. The oldest evidence that the Irish wor
shipped idols (iduld) is contained in S. Patrick's Confession, Book
of Armagh, fo. 24b. In the curious passage cited from Ft infra
p. 1 86, an Irish idol, Cermand Cestach, worshipped at Clogher,.
is described as being a gilded stone. Compare the accounts of
Cenn (or Crom) Cruaich, in the Tripartite Life, p. 90, and the
Dindsenchas, nos. 85, 149. His twelve sub-gods were probably
fetish-stones, and the persistence of stone- worship in Ireland is
proved by the expression ail adrada ' rock of adoration ' in the
Brehon Laws, iv. 146, 1. I6.1 Other superstitions, which obviously
originated in the times of savage heathenism, are exemplified
by the three stories of impregnation — the birth of Ciaran of
Saiger from a star (p. 86) ; that of Finan Camm from a golden
salmon2 (p. 112): that of Baithin from a sprig of cress, semine
virili cooperta (p. 134). As to the origin of such stories from an
early theory of conception, see Dr. J. G. Frazer, in the Fortnightly
Review for September, 1905, pp. 455-457. Here, too, may be
mentioned the cure of leprosy by the blood of innocent children
(p. 46) : the tale of Fuinche the Rough and her miraculous
dive under Lough Erne (p. 50) when she emerged, like Glaucus,
covered with shells and seaweed :3 the story of Li-ban (or
Muirgein) the mermaid (p. 52) caught in a fisherman's net : the
legends about S. Brigit4 (pp. 64, 66), especially the incident of
the column of fire flaming from her head : the legend of Sillan
of the deadly Hair (p. 206) : the prevention of decay by healing
(*>., magical) herbs (p. 246) : the exchange of diseases (p. 4) :

1 As to the worship of stones (generally conical) in Greece, Phoenicia,
etc., see Frazer, Pausanias, V. 318, 319. As to stone-worship by the pagan
Arabs, see Sale's Koran, p. 15. Rock-worship in Iceland, Landn. 2, 12.

2 The Norsemen also had tales of men born of fishes, see S. Bugge, The
Home of the Eddie Poems, p. 113, note i. The Irish story is slightly toned
down in Cod. Salmant. col. 305 : Conceptio autem illius ita facta est. Vidit
enim mater ejus piscem de auro rubicundo volantem ab ortu solis, et quod
intravit per os ejus in ventrem, et de illo Concepit.

* The incidents in the Lives of S. Brigit, which tend to show that she
took the place of an ancient goddess of fire, are collected in the preface to
Three Middle-Irish Homilies, Calcutta, 1877.

THE NOTES. li

the exchange of names in token of brotherly union (p. 224), a
practice which Captain Cook found in Tahiti, and which was also
common among North-American Indians : the belief in shape-
shifting evidenced by the tale of Rfoc and Drusticc, p. 238n.1

Such superstitions may well have existed in a society where
infants were exposed (p. 180), children sacrificed,2 and women
driven to battle3 (p. 210). The strange thing is that they have
been recorded in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
by scribes who presumably believed what they wrote down.
The raids of the Vikings, the Anglo-Norman invasion, arid the
constant inter-tribal wars account for some, but not for all of the
deterioration of the mediaeval Gaels. Christiani nomine^ re
pagani, as S. Bernard, without much exaggeration, says of the
contemporary Irish in his life of Malachi O'Morgair.

Six or seven other bits of folklore may now be briefly
mentioned. The weekdays on which the earth, sun, moon, and
man were respectively created (p. 2), derived of course from
Genesis, c. I : the introduction of wheat, rye and bees into
Ireland (p. 112): the church and tree which could not be
found, though from the plain the tree was seen and the bell
was heard (p. 130) : the wondrous yew of Mughna (p. 258) : the
bird bewailing one saint and singing to another for a hundred
and fifty years (pp. 56, 158) : the unboilable ducks of St. Colman's
church (p. 228): the effect of an undeserved curse (p. 154) : the
Devil's knees a rebours (p. 154;: the road-demon (p. 222): the
nurse of the Fians (p. 112): the practice of giving names to a child
from words that were uttered or events which occurred on or
about its birthday (Fechin, p. 48, Mo-ling, p. 150, Gillan, p. 220,
Molua mac ochae, p. 180, Cuimmin, p. 242). Examples in the
Mabinogion of names so given are Pryderi, Math vab Mathonwy,
Dylan Eilton, Llew law gyffes, Taliesin. And every scholar will
remember the origin ascribed to the name 'O&vcrev? ' man of
wrath,' in the Odyssey xix. 406-409.*

(c) Legal Antiquities.

The symbolical sod. — Sods, like branches, are used as symbols
in the transfer of land,5 and in p. 13, the archangel Michael casts
a sod from heaven to Maelruain as a sign that he might acquire

The four chief laws (cana) of Ireland : said (p. 210) to be:
not to kill clerics, not to kill women, not to steal kine, not to
work on Sunday. The sanctions are not mentioned.

The honour-price of a provincial king, p. 88. The Irish word
enedand, rendered by ' honour-price,' literally means ' face-plate,'
and is a compound of enech ' face,' ' honour,' and eland borrowed
from the Low-Latin planta * tabula plana, asser,' Ducange.
That a gold plate the size of the face was anciently given
as compensation for insult to a king has been proved by Zimmer
in Kuhn's Zeitschr. xxxvi. 426.

The punishment of expulsion from the tribe is inflicted (p. 466)
for murdering persons under a saint's protection. A man so
expelled was called ecland ' clanless,' from the negative prefix an-
and eland, borrowed (like Cymr. plant) from Lat. planta}

The punishment of death by a hill-fire. — This, according to the
legend in p. 98, was inflicted upon a perjured harlot. Her
unchastity, rather than her perjury, was the crime. Thus in the
Battle of Cnucha, LU. 4ib, Murni's father, finding her pregnant,
told his people to burn her (asberlfria muntir a breoad], and in
the tale of Core mac Lugdach (LL. 287^7) it is said of the Gaels
of Alba : ' it was (their) custom at first that any damsel who
indulged in lust contrary to her compact should be burnt.'2

Having thus described the manuscripts on which the present
edition of the Martyrology is founded : noticed its author :
considered the characteristics of the language as bearing on the
date of its composition : explained the metre in which it is
written : given some account of its contents ; and indicated the
passages in the Irish prefaces and scholia which throw light on
mediaeval religious practices, superstitions, folklore, and legal
antiquities, I have now to express my thanks to the Council of
the Henry Bradshaw Society for printing so costly and trouble
some a book, and thus helping the young School of Irish
Learning in its effort to promote the study of the ancient Irish
language and literature. Lastly, my heartiest thanks are due to
Professor Strachan and the Rev. Charles Plummer, for reading
proofs and making corrections and valuable suggestions.

TWO IRISH PREFACES.

I.

THE SPECKLED BOOK.

Four things are required by every work of art, to wit, a Place
and a Time, an Author and a Cause of invention.

It is worth knowing why Place should be required at the
beginning, and Time in the second place, and Author in the
third place, and Cause of invention in fine.

This is why Place is foremost, because it is by cities and
churches that places (i.e. chief places) are estimated ; and there
is reverence to them.

By kings and peoples, then, Times are estimated. The second
place is to these.

Author, however, in the third place, for of the Church or of
the laity is the inventor of every work of art.

Cause afterwards, for cause of precedence has been found by
the poets . . .

Or then it is the following of the philosophers that is there,
to wit, Place foremost, for Place is corporeal. Time in the
second place, for it is incorporeal. Author in the third place,
for he consists of body and non-body. Cause of invention, then,
sicut dixit.

Or it is the order of inventing the creation of the elements
that is there. Place foremost, for 'tis on a Tuesday that the
earth was made. Time in the second place, for 'tis on a
Wednesday that sun and moon were made, and by them times
are estimated. Author in the third place, for 'tis on a Friday
that man was made. Cause, however, at the end, for 'tis on a
Saturday that God blessed the elements and manifested the
cause of their invention.

Now this is the time at which Oengus1 composed the
Martyrology, to wit, the time of Aed the Dignified, son of Niall

1 Oengus, now, son of Oengoba, son of Oiblen, son of Fidrue, son of
Diarmait, son of Ainmire, son of Cellar, son of Oengus, son of Natsluaig.
son of Crundbadrai, son of Eochaid Coba.

MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. PREFACE I. 5

the Showery, — for 'tis he that got the kingship of Ireland
after Donnchad, son of Domnall, — since Oengus enters on the
first prologue of the Martyrology at Donnchad's death.

Now unto Fothuth of the Canon Oengus first showed the
Martyrology, when Aed had gone on the hosting of Dun Cuair
in the border of Meath and Leinster, and when the clerics of
Ireland had gone with him, including Conmach, St. Patrick's
successor. And 'tis on that hosting that the clerics of Ireland
were freed from expedition and hosting, for 'tis Fothuth of the
Canon that delivered the judgment by which Ireland's churches
were freed, as he said :

" The Church of living God, leave to her what is hers, let her
right be apart as best it (ever) has been.

" Every true monk that is, be it on his pure conscience, for the
Church to which it is due, let him work like any slave.

" Every freeman then, who is without (monastic) rule, without
obedience, is allowed to go to the battle of noble Aed son of Niall.

" This is the right regulation, neither great nor small, let
every slave of God1 serve without fault and without sin."2

So Aed the Dignified freed the Churches of Ireland and her
clergy from hosting thenceforward. Fothuth then showed to
Oengus the Song of the Canon and the Song of the Complaint ;
and they made their union there, and each of them blest the
other's work of art, and they left many graces on him who
should recite the Martyrology often. These truly are the graces
of the Martyrology, as is (set forth) in the final prologue (the
epilogue) of the Martyrology itself.1"'

It is worth knowing, then, in what metre the Martyrology has
been composed. Easy (to say). Rindard. What is the
characteristic of rinnard ? Easy (to say). Six syllables in
every fourth part and twelve in the half-quatrain, twenty-
four in the complete quatrain, and if there be more or less it
is an error. Recomarc, now, that is, disyllabic in its line-
endings. 'Tis in this (metre) that Oengus composed the Martyr
ology, and in three kinds, namely, in smooth Rinnard (i.e. in
Rinnard with two end-rhymes), and in Rinnard with three end-
rhymes, and in Rinnard with four end-rhyrnes.

MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. PREFACE L ^

Rinnard with two end-rhymes, in the first place, is this, as
Beccan son of Cula said — or it is Erurach (?) of Inis M6r :

" Good Diarmait son of Cairell : sing a chief without slack
ness ; no robber would turn aside1 his slaughter, his quickness."

And Oengus also said :

" On the calends of March, not haughty are they at prayer to
them — Senan, Moinenn, Moses, David of Cell Muine."

Now Rinnard of three end-rhymes is this :

" Fland the fiery of Tara, stern king of the land of Fotla,
henceforward I opine his is the clan I would choose."

And as Oengus also said :

" Before men's multitudinous race let the preeminent King
lead : Christ on the calends of January underwent the Law —
high requirement ! "

Rinnard of four end-rhymes is this, as Fothuth of the Canon
said :

" Aed the Dignified of Obach, on the monsterful realm of
Banba, who is better about quarrel (?) than the Hector of Ailech ? "

And as Oengus said :

" Flame of a splendid sun, apostle of virginal Erin, may Patrick,
with many thousands, be a shelter to our wretchedness ! "

The Place of this work of art is Cuil Bennchuir in Mag
Rechet, in the territory of Hui Failgi, as regards its commence
ment : in Cluain Eidnech, however, the greater part of it : in
Tamlachtu Libren the completion of it all, as some say.

Its Author was Oengus son of Oengoba, son of Oiblen, of the
community of Cluain Eidnech.

In the Time of Cobthach Coelbreg (it was composed).

This is the Cause. Once Oengus went to Cuil Bennchor in
Mag Rechet : he saw a grave there, and all between heaven and
the ground over the grave was full of angels. So he asked the
priest of the church : " Who has been buried in yonder grave ? "
" A wretched old man who was in the place," says the priest.
" What good used he to do ? " says Oengus. " I used not to see
any special good done by him," says the priest.

MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. PREFACE II. 9

"What thing at all used he to do?" says Oengus. " He
recounted the saints of the world," says the priest, " such of
them as he remembered, on lying down and getting up, as
is the custom of all ex-laymen."1 " O my God of heaven," said
Oengus, " whosoever should compose in poetry a song of
praise for the saints, great were his guerdon therefor, since
grace of yon greatness came upon the ex-layman."
i So Oengus began his Martyrology there. The middle part of
it he composed in Cluain Eidnech. In Tamlachtu, however (i.e.
in the kiln), it was completed, to wit, in the time of (abbot)
Maelruain it was composed.

Four-and-twenty syllables in every quatrain, and if there be
more or less, as aforesaid, it is an error, etc.

II.

LAUD 610.

Four things are required by every work of art, to wit, a Place,
an Author, a Time and a Cause of writing. They should, then,
be required by this work of art.

Place, forsooth, first for it, Cuil Bennchoir in Mag Rechet in
the district of Hui Failgi, and in the kiln at Tamlachtu
some of it was composed. Now its beginning was in Cluain
Eidnech, in Cuil Bennchoir, and its completion in the kiln at
Tamlachtu.

Now the Author is named Oengus, son of Oengoba, son of
Oeblen, son of Fidrue, son of Diarmait, son of Ainmire, son of
Cellar, son of Oengus, son of Natsluaig, son of Coelbad, son of
Crund-badrai, son of Eochaid Coba, son of Lugaid, son of Ross,
son of Imchath, son of Feidlimid, son of Cass, son of Fiachra
Araide, a quo Dal n-Araide.

This, then, is the Time at which it was composed, to wit, the
time of Aed the Dignified, for 'tis he that took the realm of
Ireland after Donnchad, for Oengus enters on the first prologue
of the Martyrology after Donnchad's death.

Now this is the Cause. Once upon a time he fared from
Disert Oengusa in Munster to Cuil Bennchuir, going to get
Maelruain in Tamlachtu for (his) soulfriend.2 And he saw a
grave in the church, and (all) over it was full of angels up to
heaven. So Oengus asked the priest of the church, " who has
been buried there ? "

1 i.e. laymen who became monks in their old age.
- i.e. spiritual director.

MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. PREFACE II. 11

" A certain wretched ex-layman who dwelt in the place," says
the priest

" What good has he done ? " says Oengus.

" Truly we used not to see," says the priest, " any good done
by him, save that on lying down and rising up he recounted the
saints of the world, as is the custom of ex-laymen."

" O God of heaven," says Oengus, " whoso should make a
song of praise for the saints, great would be his guerdon ! "

So then he began the Martyrology at once. Howbeit in
Tamlachtu it was completed.

Four and twenty syllables in every quatrain, and if there be
more or less, it is an error.

To Fothuth of the Canon, now, Oengus first showed the
Martyrology, when he went on the hosting of Dun Cuair with
Ireland's clerics along with him, including Connmach, a suc
cessor of S. Patrick ; and it is on that hosting that clerics were
freed from hosting, for it is Fothuth that passed the judgment
whereby the churches of Ireland were freed, as he himself said :

" The Church of living God, leave to her what is hers : let her
right be apart as best it has been.

" Every true monk that is, be it on his pure conscience, for the
church to which it is due let him work like any slave.

" Every freeman then, who is without (monastic) rule, without
obedience, is allowed to go to the battle of noble Aed son of Niall.

" This is the right regulation, neither great nor small, let every
slave of God serve without fault and without sin."

Then he showed to Oengus the Song of the Canon and the
Song of the Complaint, and they made their union there, and
each of them blessed the other's work of art, and they left
many graces on him who should recite it often.

Many, indeed, are the graces of the Martyrology, as is
recounted in the last prologue (the epilogue).

That Oengus, then, was an humble, lowly servant to God,
and 'tis he that used to chant his psalms thus, while he was at
Di'sert Oengusso, to wit, fifty in the river with a withe round his
neck and tied to the tree ; fifty under the tree, and fifty in his
cell.

MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. PREFACE II. 13

Thereafter he repaired to Maelruain that he might get him as
a soulfriend.

Now it is that Maelruain who decided that he would not take
land in Tamlachtu until Michael (the Archangel), with whom he
had a friendship, should take it ; and because of that agreement
there are in Tamlachtu relics consecrated to Michael. Now
once upon a time after that decision it happened that an epistle,
together with a sod, was cast from heaven to Maelruain (as a
token) that he might take land ; and thus then Tamlachtu has
been acquired.

Afterwards Oengus, in guise of a slave, came to him, and
Maelruain entrusted to Oengus the care of the (corn)kiln. He
took that in hand, and this is related, that the cornblades grew
through his hair by reason of the greatness of the service.1

So it happened there that a little boy was studying his psalms
with Maelruain, and once upon a time the cleric went to the
church and charged the boy to learn his lesson by heart, so that
he might be ready to repeat it before him. The boy, however,
runs away, for he did not expect that thing, and he came to the
kiln to Oengus. So Oengus asked him " what was the matter ? "
The boy tells him. " Come hither," says Oengus, " and put thy
head on my knee, and sleep." Thus was it done. Afterwards
the boy arose. Then said Oengus : " Repeat thy lesson, my
son." So the boy says somewhat more than the lesson.
" What is that thing, my son ? " says Oengus. " I have the
whole lection," says the boy. " Depart," says Oengus, " and
confess not whom thou hast visited." So the boy goes and sets
forth the lesson to Maelruain, and Maelruain perceived that he
had somewhat more, and asked him : " Whom didst thou visit,
my son ? " "I know not," says the boy. " That is a lie indeed,"
says the cleric, " tell me quickly." " I know not," says the boy,
" but I came to the kiln, and I fell asleep with my head on the
knee of the kiln-man." " That is true," says Maelruain : " that
man is Oengus the prophesied one ! " And then he comes forth
suddenly and brought only one shoe on him, and sought the
kiln. " Well, O Oengus," says he, " it was not meet for thee to
lie unto us, for meeter were it for us to be serving thee than thou
us."

Then Maelruain brought Oengus with him with great honour,
and Oengus knelt to him, and they make their union the union
in heaven and on earth. So thus it was then that Oengus was
revealed to Maelruain.

MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. PREFACE II. 15

It is worth knowing what kind of metre the Martyrology was
composed in. Easy (to say :) Rinnard. It is worth knowing
also how to recognize rinnard itself. Easy (to say:) six
syllables in (each of) its quarters, and twelve in (each of) its
half-quatrains, and twenty-four in its complete quatrains, and
if there be more or less, it is an error.

Recomarc, then, in the desinences of its lines (rechomraic, i.e.
disyllabic). In the particular kind of this metre named "smooth
rinnard" Oengus has composed the Martyrology. And there
are three species of it, namely, "smooth rinnard" i.e. rinnard
with (only) two end-rhymes, as Becan said — or it is Erurech (?) of
Inis Mor.

" Good Diarmait son of Cerball, sing the chief without slack
ness : no robber would turn aside his slaughter, his quickness."

And as Oengus said :

" On the calends of March, not haughty are they at prayer to
them, Senan, Moinenn, Moses, David of Cell Muine."

And smooth rinnard with three end-rhymes, as Mael-Maire
of Fathain sang :

" Flann the fiery of Tara, stern king of the land of Fotla,
henceforward I opine his is the clan I would choose."

And as Oengus said :

" Before men's multitudinous race," etc.

Rinnard with four end-rhymes, now, as Fothuth of the Canon
said :

" Aed the Dignified of Obach, on the realm of monsterful
Banba: who is better about quarrel (?) than the Hector of Ailech?"

As Oengus said : —

Flame of a splendid sun • apostle of virginal Erin,

Patrick with many thousands be a shelter to our wretchedness !

There is an harmonious juncture between the beginnings of the
quatrains and the ends of the other (i.e. preceding) quatrains.

" Let him lead on the toilsome way before us, with the nobles
of fierce Goedel's race, to the goodly delightful ethereal mansion
which the tribe of high Eochaid has taken."

89. Jesus, though He has
been crucified, our Lord, our
champion, over every element
that He had created has arisen
a perfect king.

93. Though Nebuchadnez
zar the red, very valiant, was
king of the world, since he
departed with his household his
sovranty has been destroyed.

97. Not so is Old-Paul the
monk, whose hermitage is
gloomy : by his holy name
with great grace every happy
host was sained.

101. Though a sword has
cut down mighty John the
Baptist, in the world here he
has been magnified, in God's
realm he has been crowned.

105. Herod with his queen,
by whom he has been slain
with many paeans, neither earth
nor delightful (?) heaven has
received him — a hard course !

109. The holy name of
Apostle Peter, every synod in
vokes it : to a believer it seems
unworthy that he should utter
Nero's name.

113. Nero, not known is his
grave : 'tis just, he was not
godly : the world with a multi
tude of people magnifies Peter's
little tomb.

117. (There is) a chief seat
for Nero in the forefront of
pain : Paul the Apostle — lofty
pillar — attains the plains of
heaven.

121. Nero's sovranty has
vanished : it is very far from
this : Paul's name — lasting the
choice — this is a-flowring (like
a tide).

125. Though haughty was
Pilate's queen out of abundance
of down, her splendour has
vanished since she went into a
place of mould.

129. Not so is Mary the
Virgin, beloved is her strong
fortress : Adam's race, a lofty
ambit, magnifies her, with a
host of angels.

133. Though fair and many
were the sons of wrathful
Decius whom we love not,
neither known nor very great
is the name of any of them on
earth.

child : great tales of him have
been set forth : fair was the
shout of his battle : it has rilled
the burghs of the world.

141. Let the minds of us all
be for God's people whom we
hide not : 'tis a profit if we prove
it, the prologue which we give.

145. The might of the world
is a lie to every one whose
abode it is. This is all the
might, great love for Mary's
Son.

149. Though great are the
world's kings, whose strong
holds thou seest, a hundred
hundred times nobler are Jesu's
lowly soldiers.

153. Though they are lowlier
before men, with the noise of
their crying, they will be high
above the Kingdom's height
through ages of ages.

157. The wretched world
wherein we are, transitory is
its kingdom : the King that
ruleth angels is lord of every
land.

165. Tara's mighty burgh

Height of Machae (Armagh)

169. Right valiant Loiguire's

173. The Faith has grown :
it will abide till Doomsday:
guilty pagans who are carried

205., The old cities of the

they are waste without worship,
like Lugaid's House-site.

209. The cells that have

they are Romes with multitudes,

213. Heathendom has been

237. The great mountains of

2. Mainchine of Aircc, i.e. a river in Leix in the west of Leinster,.
and Airec a river et ab eo nominatur, because near it his church, named
Disert meicc Cuilinn, was situate.

Scothine. Scothine of Tech Scothmi in Sliab Mairge. It is worth
knowing why he was called Scothine. Easy (to say), for the shortening.
(scothacT) of the journey which he used to make, to wit, to go to Rome
in one day and to come from it. in another day. Vel ideo Scothine
dictus est, i.e. Once he met S. Barre (of Cork), he walking on the sea
and Barre in a vessel. "What is the cause of thy walking on the
sea?" says Barre. "It is not sea at all, but a plain full of clover-
blossom," says Scothin, and his hand touches a flower, and he throws
it to Barre in the ship, and said: "What is the cause of a vessel
swimming on the plain ? " At that word Barre stretches his hand into
the sea, takes a salmon thereout, and flings it to Scothin. So that
from that flower (scoth) he is named Scothin.

Now two maidens with pointed breasts used to lie with him every
night that the battle with the Devil might be the greater for him.1 And
it was proposed to accuse him on that account. So Brenainn came to
test him, and Scothin said : "Let the cleric lie in my bed to-night,""
saith he. So when he reached the hour of resting the girls came into
the house wherein was Brenainn, with their lapfuls of glowing embers
in their chasubles ; and the fire burnt them not, and they spill (the
embers) in front of Brenainn, and go into the bed to him. "What is
this ? " asks Brenainn. " Thus it is that we do every night," say the
girls. They lie down with Brenainn, and nowise could he sleep with
longing. " That is imperfect, O cleric," say the girls : " he who is here
every night feels nothing at all. Why goest thou not, O cleric, into the
tub (of cold water) if it be easier for thee ? Tis often that the cleric,
even Scothin, visits it." "Well," says Brenainn, "it is wrong for us to
make this test, for he is better than we are." Thereafter they make
their union and their covenant, and they ^x\.feliciter.

was embroideress, cutter and sewer of raiment to Columcille cum suis

ii. out of Egypt? What is the cause that Christ's coming out of
Egypt is a festival and His going into it is not a festival ? Easy
to say, for Egyptus is the same as tenebrae, and fitter is happiness at
one;s coming out of them than at going into them.

12. Laidgenn, i.e. Laidgen, son of Baith. Baith Bannach Buadach

stag-beetle romes out of its den after her. The nuns see it and then
kill it. Thereafter she comes, and since it came not to her she asked,
" Where has my fosterling gone ? " she says, " and who has visited it ? "
" Do not rob us of heaven ! " say the nuns : " 'tis we that have killed it,
for we knew that he was hurtful." *' However that may be," saith Ite,
" for that deed no nun shall ever take my succession. And I will not
take (aught) from my Lord until He give me His Son out of heaven in
the shape of a babe to be fostered by me." Then came towards her
the angel who used to attend her. " 'Tis time indeed," quoth she to
him. Whereupon he said to her : " What thou askest will be given to
thee." So Christ came to her in the form of a babe, and then she
said :

Jesukin who is nursed by me in my little hermitage :

though it be a cleric with a number of treasures, all is a lie save

Jesukin.
The nursing that is nursed by me in my house is not the nursing of

a base clown :
Jesus with the men of heaven (the angels) before my heart every

single night !

Young Jesukin, my eternal good ! for heed of Him He is not slack :
The King who controls all things, not to beseech him will cause

repentance.

It is Jesu, noble, angelic, not a ...(?) cleric,
who is fostered by me in my little hermitage, Jesu, son of the Hebrew

woman.
The sons of the princes, the sons of the kings, though they should

come into my country,

not from them do I expect profit, likelier I deem Jesukin.
Sing ye a chorus, O maidens, to Him that has a right to your little

tribute.
He is in His place above, though Jesukin is in my bosom.

to visit Maignenn of Kilmatnham, and they make their union and

was in Maignenn to enter Fursa. So that it became Fursa's practice

came to a certain city. Therein he practices his usual custom and he
is brought before the bishop (of that city) to be censured. " Not
devoutly dost thou spend thy life," says the bishop. " Thou hast
permission, O cleric," says Fursa, "to prove that which inflicts this en
me." Forthwith then the reptile leaps into the bishop's throat. So
when everyone knew that, Fursa calls the reptile back to him ; and God's
name and Fursa's are magnified by that miracle, and the whole city
with its service-land is conveyed to God and to Fursa.

Leprosy (?) came against the king, against Constantine with his might,

to the great city, as was meet, he was brought to Rome, to be healed.

Leeches said to him that his skin's cure would be,

bathing by way of his joints in the blood of three hundred innocent

boys.

So that Peter and Paul came in the night after they were collected,
to protect the beautiful melodious boys, and to cure the very

comely king.

" Get thee under baptism," says Peter to the king, " be not afraid,
because thy healing from sin shall come from the white, lasting,

pure baptism.
Sylvester, the abbot of the city, go under his hand, for he is full of

grace :
to believe in the trinal Trinity is a divine deed through which thou

wilt reach heaven."

The apostles went forth after leaving the swift words :
The king fulfilled after them everything which they had declared.
He recognized the form of Peter of the judgments, and of Paul distinctly,
he manifested, when the day came, their countenances by showing.
'Tis from that event that in the East came the magnifying of Peter

the chief apostle :
Rome is his thenceforward, and Paul's, without leprosy (?).

The sage, the bishop, the king, Ninnid, great-grandson of L6iguire,

goes to heaven with his monks to good Eochaid son of Aed.

We have not well heard the stave, O Christ, O head of our dear

clans,
no true monk is without prohibition unless he is truly pious to the

Church.

19. Or Marius, Martha etc. Marius a proper name of the Romans.
Martha was his consort. Or death of Mary (and) Martha etc.

Mary and Martha with beauty, they are sisters of Lazarus,
two dear nuns it is known, may they come together to my great
benefit !

20. Splendid the four I knit together etc. Enna great-grandson of
Laigse, Ciaran's successor. Oengus was his name, and of Leix was he,
and in Tir Ua n-Enna, on the brink of (the river) Rodba is his church
i.e. Tech Oin.

Molaca, i.e. at Lann Bechair in Bregia he is. Or it may be Lochine
son of Dubdliged, i.e. of Telach min Molaga in Fermoy in Munster.
Molaga son of Dub-dliged, son of Dub-deochain, son of Dub-cuille, son
of Lachtna, son of Colla, son of Cuscrad, son of Fer-cuilchi, son of
Buan, son of Mog-ruith.

Moeca, now, i.e. Fechin of Fore, that is Fechin, then, he was called
for this reason. He chanced, when a child, to be gnawing a bone in-
front of his mother, so that his mother said : " Yon is my little wee
raven ! " saith she. Inde Fechin ' little raven ' dictus est. Mo-eca autem
dictus est, i.e. for his backsliding, i.e. when Fechin was ox-herding for
Ciaran of Clonmacnois his portion chanced to be left for him on the
ledge (?). Thereat Fechin is angered, and he fares forth then, and leaves
the church, and goes out of it eastward. That is told to Ciaran.
" After him," says Ciaran ; " and if he come not willingly, let him be
brought perforce," says Ciaran. They go after him. Then Fechin
said that he would not come with his face before him, so he came
thus, with his back before him. "A backslider is that man," quoth
Ciaran. Inde etc.

Fechine son of Caelcarna, son of Grilline, son of Cael, son of Aed,
son of Saine, son of Artcorp, son of Cairbre Nia, son of Cormac.

Sabaist, i.e. Sebaist is its proper (spelling), for Sebastianus is the
Roman name. Vir Mediolamnsis etc.

Oenu. Aenna son of Laigse, i.e. Oengus his name. Of Leix in
Leinster was he. He and two gillies along with him went to go

into military service to the king of Connaught. In passing over Loch
Ree westward he came to the port of Inis Clothrann. Ciaran happened
to be then in the island, and he said, " Bring in the warrior, for he is
a man with God's grace, and he it is that will take my coarbship after
me." So Oengus is brought in. " To what place is thy road ? " says
Ciaran. " To the king of Connaught," says the youth. " Were it not
better for thee to contract with the King of heaven and earth ? " says
Ciaran. " If it be proper," says the youth, "it is better." " It is,"
says Ciaran. Then his hair is clipt, and he is fostered in the church,
and he took Ciaran's coarbship afterwards, as Ciaran prophesied.

Oenu maccu-Laigsi, a successor of Ciaran of Cliiain (maccu Nois),
Oengus was his name.

21. May they be one etc., i.e. Fainche daughter of Carell in the
north, i.e. from Ross airthir at Lough Erne, and Fainche of Cliiain cain
in Eoganacht Caisil. Or Fuinche the Rough from Lough Erne, Le. in
Tuath ratha in Hiii Echach Ulad. Or Feme i.e. at the Ernaide in
Mag Itha she is, even Feme daughter of Cairell own-sister of Daig son
of Cairell. Or Fuinche, Feme, et duae anus sunt.

This is why she was called * Rough ' : for they sought to wed
her to a husband, and when she heard of that she sprang into Lough
Erne, and passed under water, both freshwater and sea, till she
appeared at Inis Clothrann, and came to Diarmait, who asked her on
what business she was bound. Then she tells him her tales, and thus
was she, with shells and sea-slime cleaving to her. So that for that
roughness she is called Fuinche the Rough. 'Said Diarmait to her:
" 'Tis rough, O Fainche," says he.

Feme daughter of Cairell, son of Laisre, son of Dalian, son of Eogan,
son of Niall of the Nine Hostages.

of a bishop and martyr, i.e. bishop of the city of Smyrna, and a
pupil of John the Apostle was he, and by John himself he was ordained
as bishop. And he was a prince in all Asia Minor, and after that
Marcus Antonius (leg. Aurelius) and Lucius Aurelius (leg. Verus) were
raising the folk of that city against him, and he was burnt in fire, and
twelve men were martyred along with him in the same city.

27. My Lord loved Muirgein, i.e. the birth of the sea, i.e. abbot of
Glen Uissen, as Oengus says. Or Muirgein, daughter of Aedan, in
Belach Gabrain, qui etc. Or Muirgein, i.e. the birth of the sea, i.e.
Liban daughter of Eochaid, son of Muirid, from whom Loch n-Echach
(Lough Neagh) is named. 'Tis she that was three hundred years in Loch
n-Echach, till Beoan, St. Comgall's fisherman, caught her in his net,
and Comgall afterwards baptized her, and she herself told her dealings
to Comgall, and went to heaven, et narravit etc.

As the poet said of her :
Muirgein, 'tis a birth with triumphs, daughter of very haughty

Eochaid,

went rightly past tributes,2 though Jesus put (her) in a pitiful state.
She loved the estuary rather than a house, Li-ban daughter of that

man,
her being under the heavy stream was trusted until she gave voice

to Comgall.

By dint of his net and his tree (boat) Beoan, Comgall's fisherman,
brought her after her journey in the east, so that he baptized her

in his abode.
Strange the shape out of which was might, God had wrought the

manifest miracle,
her face very white though she was a bondmaid,3 her side (that) of

an ever-strong salmon.
When Oengus, comely grandson of Oiblen, said Moeda carats ' My

Lord loved '
Moeda was mo Fiada l my Lord ' himself, muirgein was ' the birth

of the sea.'
Though 1 am a human, though I am an animal, the nobles of Mag

Breg used to love me :
* whiteness ' (and) ' beauty '4 — 'twas no nickname — I have loved the

King of the bright angels.

Fifty bishops of the Britons of Cell Muine came on their pilgrimage
to Maedoc of Ferns. They came (to him) because Maed6c of Ferns
was a pupil of David of Cell Muine. From David's time flesh was not
brought into the refectory of Cell Muine until Maed6c's successor
brought it, and hence (?) is David's strife and contumacy (?) towards the
successor that brought it, and remaining in the refectory, i.e. in the
abbacy of Cell Muine, with his feet not touching the ground so long as
he was alive. So they came in pilgrimage to Maed6c. They were
taken into the guest-house in the Lent of spring. There was brought
to them for dinner fifty cakes and leeks and whey-water. " Why has
this been brought ? " says the bishop. " For you to consume it," says
the house-steward. " Take it away," says the bishop : " nought thereof
shall be consumed until there is a pig and an ox there." The house-
steward relates this (to Maed6c). " Permission/' says Maed6c. It is
brought to them. " 'Tis well," quoth he ; they eat the meat. They
are there till the morrow. Maed6c salutes them. " Well," says
Maeddc : " it is not too much to reprove you for eating the meat in
Lent and refusing the bread." " Not from study hast thou delivered
that, O Maedoc," says the bishop. "Well?" says Maed6c. *' Easy
(to say)," quoth the bishop, " the pig drank its mother's milk, and the ox
which was brought us ate nothing save the grass of the earth. But in
the cake there were three hundred and sixty five weevils (?) ; therefore
we consumed it not."3

and lamenting. " O my God," says he, " what has happened yonder ?
I will not partake of food until it is revealed to me." Now when he
was there he saw an angel coming towards him. " That is well, O
cleric," says the angel: "let not this put thee into grief any more.
Molua mac Ocha has died, and therefore all living creatures bewail him,
for never has he killed any animal, little or big : so not more do human
beings bewail him than the other animals and the little bird which thou
seest"1

Brig, i.e. a virgin cum eis in Desi of Munster : near Mochutu's
Lismore is Brig, or in Carbre lia Ciardai in the north of Meath :
or at Loch Carman ; or beside Kildare . . . i.e. a prioress.

Brig at Tech Brige : 'tis by her that the cows were milked thrice in
the same day for the bishops, and 'tis by her that there was reaping on
the harvest-day when a rainstorm was throughout the rest of the country.3

Barr-find, i.e. he is the top and fair completion to the host of January.

1 A similar tale is told ot Iuchna.Echbel, LL. i6ob.

2 In Broccdn's hymn 29-32 these miracles are ascribed to S. Brigit,
Thes.paL hib. ii. 334, 335.

FEBRUARY i.] MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. NOTES. 65

NOTES.

i. Brigit. Brigit daughter of Dubthach son of Demre, son of
Bresal, son of Connla, son of Art Corp, son of Cairbre Nia, son of
Cormac, son of Oengus the Dumb, son of Eochaid Find Fuathnairt, son
of Feidlimid Rechtmad.1

Brigit's three eighths, to wit, her birth on the eighth (of the month)
her veil on the eighteenth, her death on the twenty-eighth.
The white-one from Liffey of the slopes, daughter of Dubthach of

Druim derg :
to-morrow she goes quickly, so that from her hand is Patrick's bequest.

Eight bishops came to Brigit out of Hiii Briuin Cualann, i.e. from
Telach na n-epscop to Loch Lemnachta beside Kildare on the north.
Brigit asked her cook, Blathnait, whether she had food for the bishops.
Dixit ilia non. Brigit was ashamed : so the angel told her to milk the
cows again. The cows were milked and they filled the tubs, and they
would have filled all the vessels in Leinster, so that the milk went over
the vessels and made a lake thereof, wide Loch Lemnachta ' New-milk
Lough ' dicitur.

A robber came to Dubthach, who took a joint out of the caldron
for him, and he made five pieces thereof, and gave them to Brigit to
keep. But a wretched hound came to her, and she gave it the five
pieces out of the caldron, and the five pieces were then found in the
caldron. That was told to Dubthach, and then he gave to her and to
God the land, to wit, the site of an oratory in Tuath da Maige.

A young cleric of the community of Ferns, a foster-son of Brigit's, used
to come to her with wishes. He was with her in the refectory, to partake
of food. Once after coming to communion she strikes a clapper.
"Well, young cleric there," says Brigit, "hast thou a soulfriend2 ? "
" I have," replied the young cleric. " Let us sing his requiem," says
Brigit, "for he has died. I saw when half thy portion had gone, that
thy quota was put into thy trunk, and thou without any head on thee,
for thy soulfriend died, and anyone without a soulfriend is a body
without a head ; and eat no more till thou gettest a soulfriend."

Amra Plea etc. a convent of Brigit's which is on the brink of the
sea of Wight, or the Tyrrhene (sea), and its Rule is that of Brigit's
community. Et sic factum est. Brigit despatched seven persons to
learn the Rule of Peter and Paul, for God did not determine that she
should go. Arid they brought not the Rule. So she sent eastward a
third time, together with her blind boy, for everything he used to hear
he remembered. When they reached the sea of Wight, a storm fell
upon them, so they let down their anchor, which stuck on the peak of
the oratory. They cast a lot inter se as to going down, and it fell to
the blind (boy). He loosed the anchor, et stetit there to the end of a
year, learning the Rule, till the rest of the party came to him from
Rome, and a storm fell upon them again in the same place, so they let

down an anchor, and the blind boy came up from below with the Rule
of Plea and with a beautiful bell, and it is the Rule of Plea that abides
to-day.1

Now Brigit was fain to have the orders of penitence conferred upon
her ; so she went to Bri Eile, accompanied by seven nuns, since she
had heard that bishop Mel was there. When they arrived, bishop Mel
was not there, but had gone into the district of the Hiii Neill. So she
fared forth on the morrow with Mac caille before her as a guide to
M6in Faithnig. Brigit wrought so that the bog became a smooth
flowery plain for them. When they drew nigh the place wherein bishop
Mel was biding Brigit told Mac caille that she would take a veil on her
head so that she might not come unveiled to the clerics; and that
may be the veil that is commemorated here. Now after reaching the
clerics a fiery column flamed from her head to the ridge of the church.
Said Mac caille : " This is the famous nun of Leinster, even Brigit."
"My welcome to her," quoth bishop Mel: "'tis I," quoth he, "that
prophesied her in her mother's womb, and 'tis I that will confer the
orders upon her."1

Once upon a time bishop Mel came to Dubthach's house and saw
Dubthach's wife in grief. So the bishop asked, " What is the matter
with the woman ? " " Cause of grief I have," she says, " for dearer
than I am to Dubthach is the bondmaid who is washing you." "Thou
hast good reason," says bishop Mel, " for thy seed will serve the seed
of the bondmaid."1

"Why have the nuns come? asked bishop Mel. "To have the
orders of penitence conferred on Brigit," says Mac caille. Thereafter
the orders were read out over Brigit, and bishop Mel bestowed
episcopal orders upon her, and it is then that Mac caille set a veil on
(her) head. Hence Brigit's successor is entitled to have episcopal
orders conferred upon her.1

So long as he was reading out the orders, thus was Brigit, with the
foot of the altar in her hand ; and seven churches were burnt with that
foot (in one of them) ; and it was not burnt, sed etc.1 Dicunt alii that
in Fir tulach that church was, as bishop Mel declared :

Beloved and little the month of dear February, which comprises for
us those festivals,

Brigit's festival .... Finntain's festival which I have chosen.

Save great Mary, good her fame, Mother of the Lord Jesus,

no ... under heaven has been found more wondrous than bright-
white Brigit.2

Darerca and Liamain of the mantles, took a secret place without

neglect :
those (are the) names at ranges of ... (?), of the sisters ot

Patrick of the chief churches.

Seventeen bishops were born of Darerca, including bishop Mac
carthinn of Clochar and bishop Mel, and two virgins, as (the poet)
said :

Gifted (was) Darerca's family for tendance ;

seventeen bishops of them over main-sea, two perfect virgins.

These are the virgins : Aiche and Lall6c, as hath been said :

descendant of tlu sage etc., i.e. Onchu his name : in the oratory of
Relic na n-aingel (the Angels* Graveyard) in Cluain m6r Maed6c he is.
A good poet was he, and to this he gave heed, to collect the relics of
Ireland's saints. He used not to stay in any church without some of
(the saint's) relics being given to him. So that he had a great shrine of
the saints' relics which he had collected. Now he went to Cluain mo
Maed6c — i.e. Maedoc hua Dunlaing of Leinster, and not Maed6c of
Ferns. Maedoc happened to be alive before him. "Somewhat of thy
relics (cut) off thee for me, O cleric, that they may be along with these
relics." "That is hard," says the cleric. " It is to be done, however,"
says the poet. So the cleric cuts off his little-finger and gives it to the
poet. Then the cleric is pained thereby, and he declared : " What thou
hast collected," says he, " will be here, and thine own relics also." And
this has been fulfilled.1

Splendid descendant of the sage, i.e. in Cluain mor Maed6ic he is,
i.e. of Connaught is he. 'Tis he that collected the saints' relics in the
oratory of the grave-yard of Cluain mor Maed6ic.

Etchen, i.e. in Cluain fota Baetain in Fir bile.

Bishop Etchen from Cluain fota Baetain aba in Fir bili is in the
south of Meath, and of the Dal Mescorp of Leinster is he. It is
Colum cille that went to him to have episcopal orders conferred upon
him.1 Then Colum cille sits under the tree to the west of the church,
and he asks where was the cleric ? " There he is," says a man there,
"on the ploughing-field below." " Meseems," says Colum cille, "it is
not proper for us that a ploughman should confer orders upon us.
However, since we have come for it, let him be proved by us." So
first, he asks Etchen for the ploughshare. He gives it to them at once,
and not the less did the oxen plough. "A good man is the cleric !"
say they. " Prove him still more," says Colum cille. He asks him for
the outer ox. Etchen straightway bestows it on them ; and bishop
Etchen ordered a stag which was in the forest to do that work, and he
does it forthwith.

Then Colum cille, having proved the cleric, goes to him and tells
him what he had come for. " It shall be done," says the cleric. Then
sacerdotal orders are conferred on Colum cille, arid it was episcopal orders
that he wished to have. The cleric prays till the morrow. "That is a
mistake, O cleric," says Colum cille, " the order that thou hast
conferred upon me ;- and yet I will never change it so long as I am
alive. In lieu of that, now, no one shall ever come to this church to
have orders conferred upon him." And this is still fulfilled.

whom he begat Molua mac ochae.

Ciaran : Ciaran of Saiger3 episcopus episcoporum. Of Dal Birn was

MARCH 5.] MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. NOTES. 89

Thereof was horn the wondrous birth, Ciaran of Saiger, let him be men
tioned by thee,
and thence — a saying without pride — Luaigne declared that he was not

his son.

Liadaine, daughter of Maine Cerr, son of Oengus, of the race of
Lugaid son of Ith, (was) mother of Ciaran of Saiger, and he was
born in Findtracht Glere, and after his birth the angels of the Lord tended
him, and ranks of heaven baptized him. And 'tis in Corcu Luigdech
first that in Ireland the Cross was believed in, for it is thirty years,
before Patrick that Ciaran took Saiger, as is said : Seek etc.

A son that is born in Tulach Tenn, pure shall be his union with us ::
many a monk and gentle nun after him Conall will take.

'Tis then that Ciaran foretold Conall and Fachtna of Ross Ailithir ;
and it is Ciaran that left to Etersceoil kingship and leadership for ever.
And 'tis he that left to the king of the Corcu-Luigde a provincial king's,
honour-price, because they first had the belief in the Cross, and because
Cell Ciarain was disputed (?) by them. And it is Ciaran is also the
senior of the Saints of Ireland :

Ciaran son of Luaigne . . . son of Dua, son of Conall, son of
Cairbre, son of Buan, son of Imbuan, . . . Lethtren, son of
Amalgaid, son of Loeguire, Birn b . . . son of Oengus of Ossory.

Wondrous, now, was the holy Ciaran of Saiger. Many cattle he
had, for there were ten doors to the shed of his kine and ten stalls for
every door, . . . and there were ten calves in every stall, and ten cows with
every calf. So long as he was alive Ciaran consumed not any kind,,
small or great, of their relish (obsonium) nor of their great produce : but
distributed it to the poor and needy of the Lord. Moreover Ciaran had
fifty horses broken-in for ploughing and for tilling the earth, but it
seems that of what they tilled he ate not a single cake so long as he was
alive. This was his dinner every night, a little bit of barley-bread, and
spring-water as drink with it, and two roots of sea-fern (?) as relish for
it. Now skins of fawns was the raiment that he wore, and a wet quilt
over them outside. A bolster of stone was at his head when he used to
sleep.

ut dixit Ciaran :

Ten doors on the booley of my kine, ten stalls for every red-faced door,
ten calves for every stall, without torment, ten foolish cows with every
little fool (calf).

Of my confession to Mary's Son, though all that seems to you strange,
never went in under my tooth so much as a fleshworm of the relish.

Fifty young horses1 in my fair church in Saiger, which till the ground,
on my conscience, O pleading Christ ! I never have eaten one cake of
them.2

A manchet of barley and pure water, that was my dinner every time,
this is the relish that I was accustomed to, two roots of sea-fern (?) -

1 lit. foals. 2 i.e. of the produce of what they tilled.

There (is) my Saiger every time ! whoever shall reach it will be pure :

its many various illuminations, and this book still remains in Saiger.
And let everyone who shall study it give a blessing on the soul of

8. Senan of Inis Cathaig, crochais, i.e. Senan hanged, i.e. he
fettered the monster named Cathach, from which Inis Cathaig is named.
Therefore he fettered it, since it killed the smith whose name was
Narach, and Senan brought the smith to life, that is, brought him out of
the monster's belly. The monster was a foe to the smith, and Senan
was a hangman to the monster.1

Quaedam bestia etc. for the monster used to battle against a multitude
out of it, multos occidebat etc. unde dicitur " he hanged the foe in a
fetter," i.e. the enmity that it had in battle, he hung that in an drach,
i.e. in a fetter, utnec etc. Or Senan hung the foe of Narach, i.e. a certain
.smith qui fuit etc. So Senan hung that which was enmity to Narach
Ihe smith. Hie etc.

Senan son of Gerrchenn etc.

Narach the smith, hospitality with valour, went in a boat on the sea :
over the hair of ocean he surely went away into Inis Cathaig.

When he had crossed half the water the persecuting monster took him :
this is related to Senan : 'tis then he was praying.

The cleric goes with fierceness to the edge of the green sea,

he bound the monster out from him, for he was a foe of Narach's.

He comes to Narach — good the fight — who was safe, who was quite alive ;
the track of the monster was white, the miracle is magnified by Senan.

Connadil, i.e. at Ess mac nEirc in Connaught. Conna, this is the
name, and his mother gave per pietatem additamentum syllabae dil, i.e.
dear, to me or to God, Conna, i.e. pillar or house-post. Conna, i.e. the
name, and his mother gave it the addition of a syllable from affection,
i.e. dil 'dear' to me is he, i.e. Conna-dil, Or Conainne, i.e. of Cell
Connainne in Hui Maini of Connaught, i.e. in Sogan, a daughter of the
mother of Senan of Inis Cathaig.

in Connaught.

Bishop Beo[a]id, son of Olcan, son of Cuman, son of Maidne, son of
Tren, son of Len, son of Lugaid Mac-con.

9. Death of forty soldiers, etc. i.e. forty soldiers who were cast into
a cold lough by Licinius son of . . . , son of Constantine's sister.
And every one was put round about the lough so that they might not come
out of it till they were drowned. Tis then that the sun shone to them
out of the bottom of the lough.2 And since the heathen could do
nothing to them, they were taken out of the lough, their legs were
broken, and then they were burnt. Quadraginta mtlites, etc.

Forty soldiers, alas ! in the east were cast into a cold lough :
the sun shines to them, much of glowing heat, in the bottom
of the great lough.

10. Constantin, i.e. Constantine, son of Helena, by whom Christ's
•cross was found. Constantine, son of Helena, de quo, etc.

11. They are comrades of our God. Or "a prayer on the feast of
Oiblen's son [leg. grandson], Oengus among princes " (is another reading).

i.e. Oengus son of Oingoba, son of Oiblen, of the community of
Cliiain Eidnech, 'tis he that composed the Martyrology in Tallaght.
Oengus sang :

I have asked of my king, merciful, mighty, excellent is his heart-story —
that Christ may be very indulgent to me so long as I am in the flesh.

Constantine, i.e. son of Fergus, successor of Mochutu of Rathen in
Delbna Ethra in Meath, i.e. a king of Britain, who left his realm and
came on his pilgrimage to Rathen in the time of Mochutu. He was
also king of Scotland, and he sold the goodness of the earth for
pilgrimage in order to gain heaven. So he gave himself to manual
labour like any monk a-serving God ; and 'tis he that marked out the
church, i.e. of Rathen, and dug its dyke, and bettered Cepach Cusantin
' Constantine's Plot,' to the south of Rathen. Great then was his
bellyful, to wit, the dinner of a hundred, 'tis this that satisfied him : so
Mochutu's leavings were given to him. Mochutu sained his mouth,
and (then) he used to consume only the same quantity as any (other) monk.
And though his bellyful was lessened his strength was not diminished.3

Greatly, indeed, did the monks profit by his humility for the
•strength of a hundred was in him. Now he asked Mochutu to let him
go into Scotland, to visit his children and his kindred. Mochutu
gave him permission, and (he went and) came again. His share of
dinner had been laid up for him so long as he was in the east, and was
put on a hide before him, mixed up together, both the clerics' pottage
and milk and corn, and some of it had turned to worms. So he
took his girdle around him and . . . (the share) towards him with his
two (?) hands till it was clear to him that he had consumed it all.

Then the clerics' leavings were brought to him, and them he consumed
steadily (?) and pleasantly, for the majordomo was keeping them so
that nothing of the meal was left without being consumed. "Get
thee to the oakwood to-morrow and ply thy wrath (on the trees)."
" Why didst thou impose on me to go and receive the Sacrament at the
beginning of last night as I went. Never has any unfairness come
to me which I would liken to it. Every unfairness that ever befell me I
cast from me with all my might. Every good that I had I made
lasting (?) " Thereafter he went throughout the oakwood and clears it.

Another time he was in the dyke, doing his work. The clerics dined,
and he was forgotten. Thereat he became angry, and he flung from him
out of the dyke a shovelful of clay upon the skylight of the refectory, so
that his ration came to him out of the platter of every monk in the house.

Thereafter Mochutu goes to seek him. The streams of sweat were
then over him from the vehemence of the toil. Mochutu puts his palm
under Constantine's brow and puts it (the palm) under his own brow.
"Well, O cleric," says Constantine, "'tis the sweat of his own tonsure
that heals every one." "Thou hast injured (thyself)," says Mochutu:
" if thou hadst not said that, even the dew of thy grave would have
healed every one."

In the week before Constantine's death, as they were at mass in
their church, Mochutu saw Satan over Constantine's head. " What
brought thee there?" says Mochutu. "This is a monk of mine,"
quoth Satan, " for the world is on his conscience." " Probably this
is little," says Mochutu. " It is equal (?) in him, though it be
little." " Well, O cleric," says Mochutu, "deliver thy confession." " I
declare, my lord," says Constantine, "that on my conscience there is
nothing of the world, save only that I think I should like the flagstone
on which thou repeatest thy paternoster to be over my face (when I am
buried)." " It shall be so indeed," says Mochutu. " And get thee, O
Satan, into the pillar-stone to the south of the cell, and thou shouldst
cause no hurt there save to one who shall resist the Church."

Notv this is the Constantine aforesaid who obtained the three years'
respite from Blathmec and Diarmait, the two sons of Aed Slane, and
from the congregation of Finden and Ciaran and Colum cille, not to
expel Mochutu from Rathen. 'Tis to that same Constantine that the
clerics of Leth Cuinn and the household of the children of Aed Slane
made the evil petition, after coming to ask a respite the second year
not to expel Mochutu from Rathen. "He is the same churl," says
every one, "and he will not be welcome this time." "'Tis an evil
petition, O youths," says Constantine, "for we were in the good plight
in which ye are, until we gave it up for the Lord. I had seven fortresses
in my power (?), and a queen for every fortress, and gold and silver and
herds of horses and kine for every fortress. I left all that I might be in
servitude here for love of the Lord. If a respite were granted for me, and
for Him who has sent me, there would be a reward." A lot was cast
between the congregations of Finnen and Ciaran and Colum cille. " What
bishop of you would go with Diarmait to expel Mochutu ? " Diarmait
was first sent to expel Mochutu, and he is unable to do so, wherefore

Mochutu blessed Diarmait. Then came the turn of the community of
-Clonmacnois. They went to their cells. Came the turn of the com
munity of Cluain Cuangusa at the end of Ardgal. " I will go," says
their erenagh, "to expel him." Then the erenagh of Cluain Con-
gussa goes to expel Mochutu. "Wilt thou expel me?" says Mochutu.
" Thou shalt not be in the abbot's seat," says the cleric. " Thou shalt
have neither heaven .nor earth," says Mochutu; "and may thy erenagh
always be a servant of wisps and mockery in assemblies and meetings ! J>
" Woe to him who takes thee and by whom thou art taken ! " says the
prior of Cell ached. " A blessing," says Mochutu ; " and with thee will
be the dignity of thy church." " Take him away," says the sub-erenagh
of Clonmacnois : "let not the fellow delay, a wordy log (?) in the
church." " May neither heaven nor earth be thine," says Mochutu,
" and cold and hunger carry off thy successor always ! " " 'Tis a great
pity what ye do," says the prior of Durrow. "'Tis thou (says Mochutu)
who will be prior and erenagh always in thy place." " Drag him
down ! " says the erenagh of Durrow. " Hatred of thy congregation
upon thee (says Mochutu), and on thy successor always ! and may a
finger be always needed to teach thee in meeting and to teach thy
successor."

Then he turned to the community of Clonard, and cursed a part of
them and blessed another part.

Blathmec himself went up to him, and Cronan the Red, Ciaran's
successor. " Why have ye come ?" says Mochutu. "To expel thee,"
says Blathmec. " Thou shalt not," says Mochutu. " Thou shalt not
be in the abbot's seat against him (?)" quoth he. "Then I will
expel thee from the seat in which thou art, and I will rob thee of heaven
and earth, so that neither king nor crown-prince shall be from thee."

12. Gregory of Rome, i.e. of the Children of Dega was he, and
abbot of Rome. And 'tis he that bequeathed his body in a case on the
river Tiber, with an ounce of gold on its breast, i.e. the ounce of
virginity, and God sent it to Arann, and from it the strand on which it
came is named, and therein are his relics, as Fercertne the poet of
Cii-roi prophesied, saying, " Judgment will be born," etc.

Descendant of Dega, son of Sen, Gregory of Ardmail,
abbot of Rome of full Latium, goes into Erin,
for it is in his share.

For Erin the noble island wherein keen Gregory will be

Eugenia. Eugenia daughter of Philip. By command of the
emperor Commodus, Philip went to take the kingship of Alexandria and
Egypt, and brought with him his wife, Claudia, his two sons, Sergius
and Habitus, and his daughter Eugenia, and her two eunuchs, Protas
and lacinthus, along with her. It happened one day that she and her
eunuchs were passing by the monastery of Edeb (?), and this is what
the monks were then chanting : " The gods of the heathen are demons, but
the Lord hath made the heavens." Said she : " Sad it is for us if it is
demons whom we worship. Truly I will go and offer myself to the
God whom these adore." So she goes and assumes a man's form, for
there were no women in the monastery, and was baptized. Elinus was
the name of the bishop who catechised and baptized her in Egypt.
Steren vero, etc. Such was her choiceness that after the death of the
head of the monks she was appointed to the headship of the monas
tery. And a harlot tempted Eugenia to lie with her. But when
nought was gotten from her the harlot said that Eugenia had outraged
her. So then came the king of the country to retaliate upon her, and
he was her father, Philip. Whereupon she called him to her apart, and
she said to him: " Hadst thou a daughter?" "I had," he answered,
"and I know not her fate." Then the king recognises her, and thus
she was saved and the monastery. Thereafter a hill-fire was made for
the harlot. Ipsa est, etc.2

Leinster, or of Leix was Tigernach's father, or of Hiii Bairche.
Darfraich daughter of Eochaid son of Crimthann, king of Airgeill, from
Rigraith over Clochar was his mother. Now Cairbre brought him
under cover to Kildare. He goes into the guest-house. Brigit sees a
watch of angels above the house. She asked who was there. " One
young warrior is there," says the attendant. "Look thou still,"
quoth Brigit. He looks. " There is," he says, " a little infant in
the young warrior's bosom." " Good is the infant," says Brigit.
Brigit goes into the guest-house, and the child is baptized, and Brigit
holds him at the baptism, etc.

Tigernach, i.e. of Offaly or Ui Barrchi, and, quod uerius est, he is in
Cluain Euis of Hui Barrchi out of the west of Leinster is he.

of Cluain Eois, i.e. (Eoas is) the name of Concobars swineherd*
who used to be there.

Tigernach sang :

A bittock of a cake of bright barley, this is my portion on the board :
a sprig of watercress and warm water, this is my share every night.
What has brought thee, O Cuachan, over Muadan's hair (i.e. from
below) ?

(An angel said)
"Thy piety and thy devotion and Guaire's generosity."

Tigernach's mother was Darfraich. 'Tis to her that Cechtamair of,
Druim Dubain said, after being unable to split the tree while building
her oratory :

O Darfraich ! O mother of holy Tigernach !
let come thy help which was not slow, split the tree anigh the wright.

1 In LL. 358 r. marg. Oois (sic) is said to be the name of a swineherd of
the king of Airgeill (ainm muccida rig Airgiall}, who was in that stead
before Tigernach.

5. Culds son, i.e. Cula was his mother, and in Imliuch Fia in Fir
Ciila Breg is Beccan. Fia is the name of a well, Cula the name of his
mother, and of the race of Cremthann is he. Of the Dal Cais was
Beccan, and 'tis he that raised Bresal Brecc from death.2

The three athlaechs* of Ireland, Beccan Cula's son, and Mochua,
Lonan's son, and Enda of Arann.

7. of Cenn-etig, i.e. Etech, the nurse of the Fians, was slain there.
Or Cell eti (is the right reading) from the flying of the (pet) scallcrow

Bladma, i.e. from Blad son of Conmac Cas Clothach, grandson of
Tachall son of Cermait, son of the Dagda, a quo nominatur. Or Blad
son of Breogan, a quo Sliab Bladma.

Findn the Crooked of Cenn Etig. Of Hiii Luchta was he, i.e. of Corcu
Duibne, and of Ciarraige Luachra was his mother. That crookedness was
in his eyes, i.e. he looked crookedly at his fosterfather when he was asking
something for his guests. "Thou hast leave to be thus, semper," says
the fosterfather, even Brenainn son of Findlug.

Findn Camm, i.e. crooked was his eye, of Cennetig in Sliab
Bladma. Of the Corcu-duibne was he.4

A salmon of red gold came : it went in the west after sunset,
against the womb of white Beccnat, (Finan's mother) so that it

became her husband,
(i.e.) when she was bathing in Loch Lein : ut dicitur\

Now thou hast no earthly father : the Holy Ghost has saved thee, has

fostered thee.
Inde alius diocit :

Becnat, daughter of vast Idgna, the precious stone that was not scanty :
like the Son of the Virgin, Finan Camm was born of her.

In Becnat's womb thou wast for a while, for thou wast conceived thro'
God's word :

an earthly father thou hast not, the Holy Ghost has saved thee, has

fostered thee.

Finan Camm brought wheat into Ireland, i.e. the full of his shoe he
brought. Declan brought the rye, i.e. the full of his shoe. Mo-
domn6c brought bees, i.e. the full of his bell5 : and in one ship they
were brought.

Finan is entitled to true circuits, a measure of wheat for every household,
the full of his brazen shoe : a tribute that no great saint had taken.

Thus, then, they were slain in the refectory, a tetrad and fifty, this is
the number that went to martyrdom together with Donnan.

Donnan of Eig, i.e. Egha is the name of a river in Scotland. Or it
is an island, and 'tis there is Donnan, or in Caithness in the north of
Scotland, and there holy Donnan died with his community, to wit, fifty-
five (leg. 52 in number). Tis this Donnan that went to Colum cille to
get him for a soulfriend, and Colum cille said to him, " I will only be
soulfriend," quoth he, " to folk of white martyrdom, i.e. I will not be(thy)
soulfriend, for thou and the whole of thy community with thee will go to
red martyrdom." And this was fulfilled. Then Donnan with his com
munity goes into Galloway and takes up his abode where the queen of the
country's sheep used to be. That is told to the queen. " Let them all be
killed," she says. "That is not pious," says every one. So men come
to them to slay them. The cleric was then at mass. " Grant us a
respite till the mass ends," says Donnan. " It will be granted," they
say. The whole number1 is at once slain.

£ga, i.e. the proper name of a place. 'Tis there that Donnan
suffered : the name of a fountain in All-Saxain,2 or in Caithness, and
there Donnan, cum suafamilia, fifty-four (in number), passus est.

died then. [Or] Septimius is a proper name. Lugna, son of Maenach,

20. the feast of the saints of Europe, i.e. a great tree there was in
Rome1 ; and the heathen worshipt it, till the Christians fasted on the
saints of Europe that the tree might fall, et statim cecidit.

21. Mael rubai? i.e. the feast of Mael-rubai's obit, and of the
kindred of Eogan was he, but his church is in Scotland, and this is the
feast of his obit. His mother, now, was Subthan daughter of Comgall,
or daughter of Setna ; and in Apurcrosen (Applecross) is his church.2

22. Philip, i.e. in Phrygia he was buried, etc.

May Philip protect us : in the mystery of the Father, i.e. in the
mystical canon : ' mouth of a lamp,' i.e. os lampadis interpretatur* etc.
Philip the apostle's nativity.

23. of bishop Ibar, i.e. lubar son of Lugna, son of Maccu Cuirc, son
of Corp, son of Cairbre, son of Niall, son of Eochaid, a quo the Hui
Echach of Ulster, son of Sen, son of Rosen, son of Tren, son of
Rogen, son of Airnel, son of Maine the Great, son of Fidach Forga,
son of Feradach, son of Ailill Erann, son of Fiacha, son of Oengus
Turbech T.

This is the bishop Ibar that had the conflict with Patrick, and 'tis he
that left the roads full and the store-rooms empty in Armagh.^ So
Patrick is angered f with him and said: "Thou shall not be in Eriu,"
says Patrick. " Eriu shall be the name rof the place in which I am
wont to be," says bishop Ibar, unde Becc-Eriu ' little Ireland ' is named,
i.e. an island which is in Hiii Cennselaig out in the sea.

24. The triumph of the three innocent children, i.e. Sedrac, Misac,
Abdinago (are) their names with the Chaldees ; Ananias, Acareas, Misael
their names with the Hebrews: And 30, 729.* The trio of them was
put by Nebuchadnezzar into a fiery furnace ablaze, but God preserved
them, so that the fire did them no hurt.

25. Mark the evangelist : he suffered in Alexandria.

Mac caille, i.e. a bishop. In Cruachan Bri Ele in Offaly is his church.

26. Cyrillus, i.e. a bishop in Jerusalem.

28. Christopher, i.e. a doghead.5 Pious was he, (and he) suffered
under Decius.

He was a cleric with purity, he was the devout Christian ;
before the call without reproach over sea his proper name was Christopher,
i.e. a doghead : he suffered under the persecutor Decius. Reprobus
was his name ante fidem.

Of Christopher cum suis 10,404. Whoever fasts on his feast will
find rest with the Lord.

Crondn, i.e. Cronan son of Aele [?] was he, i.e. great-grandson of
Oela (?) who was first called Mochua.

1 6. of Brenann, i.e. son of Findlug, grandson of Alta of Ciarraige
Luachra, i.e. in Hui Mac Caille, in Clonfert. Brenaind son of Findlug,
son of Olchu, son of Alta, son of Ogaman, son of Fidchuire, son of
Delbra, son of Eunne, son of Uasalec (?), son of Ard oman, son of
Modta, son of Ciar, son of Fergus.

Brenaind son of Findlug, son of Elchu, son of Aelta, of the Ciarraige
Luachra of Alltraige Caille. At the same time with Oengus son of
Natfraich, king of Munster, was he born. It is his mother who
beheld the vision. It seemed to her that an ingot of gold fell into her
bosom, and her two paps flamed on her breast. Findlug related that
vision to his soul-friend, bishop Ere son of Ogaman, son of Fidach.
And Ere said that a marvellous child would be born of the woman who
beheld the vision. Then bishop Ere saw this : it seemed to him that a
glow of fire was over the district of Altraige, and that it was full of
angels from heaven to the ground. Bishop Ere went on the morrow to
Findlug's house and took the boy into his bosom, and put his protection
and his union to him. That is the night whereon Becc mac De the
prophet chanced to be in the house of Mac Ardae son of Fidach, king
of Ciarraige Luachra. The king asked him : " What seest thou for us
to-night, O Becc ? " "I see " (says Becc) " that thy king is born between
thee in the west and the sea." " Truly," says Mac Ardae, " we know of
no free race between us and the sea that would have a right to reign
over us." Becc replied : " The son that is born to Findlug to-night, he
will be thy king for ever." Now a swift rain came from the source of
the Jordan and dropt on Bre'namn at the time of his baptism.
Wherefore he was called Brendinus, that is, a rain (broeri} swift \diari)
from above (di-anuas) ; or at the time (denus) of his baptism.1

of Cairnech, i.e. out of Tuilen : of the Cornish Britons was he.
of Cairnech from Tuilen near Kells of the Kings.

of SuatiacWs descendant, i.e. of Rathen Hui Suanaig, i.e. Fidmuine is
his name, and Fidairle is his brother's name. And the feast of Buite

The union of Cainnech and of Barre, and of Brenann both one and other :
whoever outrages any one of them the miracles of the trio (will be)
punishing him.

1 The Irish of this legend was first printed, with a French translation, by
Henri Gaidoz, in the Recueil des textes etrangers, Paris, 1888. See also
Lives of Saints from the Book of Lismore, pp. 100, 349-350.

2 But Buite's day is, according to the Martyrology, Dec. 7. The
legend of Maelcdich is obscure to me.

Bdithine, i.e. Baithin of Inis Baithin in the east of Leinster in Dal
Mesincorp. And Trea daughter of Ronan, king of Leinster, was mother
of Baithin son of Findach.

And it is thus Baithin was born, i.e. Finnach, a robber, chanced to
be one day in the top of a thorn-tree over the well, intending to rob and
plunder the church. Cred came to the well to wash her hands, and
when Finnach saw her he longed for her, et cecidit semen eius virile
super nasturtii surculum coram earn. Tune edit virgo surculum super
quern fuit semen, and thence was born Baithin the ever-living.
Howbeit it is God's miracle that caused it, ut dixit :
Creda, good was the woman, daughter of Ronan king of Leinster,
with her dear church, constant, pure, the mother of Baithin son of
Findach.

Findach the robber was stealing in the thorn-tree over the well,
when aliquid seminis eius virilis went to the soft-topped sprig of cress.
Since the keen robber looked on the daughter of Ronan the very

smooth
when she went to wash her hands, Cred the star-strong daughter of Ronan.

JUNE 9,3 MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. NOTES. 147

Cremthann was his original name,1 Colum pro simplititate dictus est,
title ' of the church,' for his coming from the church, i.e. from Telach
Dubglaisse in Tir Lugdach, quia etc.

'Tis that Colum cille who from his youth gave vast love to Christ.
Once upon a time comes an angel from heaven — Axal was the name of
the angel that used to come to Colum cille, quasi Auxil, ab auxilio2 —
This he said to Colum cille : " O Colum cille, take virginity around
thee," says the angel. " I will not take it," says Colum cille, "until a
reward therefor be given to me." " What reward dost thou demand ? "
says the angel. " I declare," says Colum cille, " it is not one reward,
but four." " Say then," says the angel. " I will say," answers Colum
cille ; " death in repentance and death of hunger, and death in youth —

for bodies become hideous through old age " " That and

more is given to thee," says the angel : "thou wilt be a chief prophet
of heaven and earth." That was fulfilled for him. He went into
pilgrimage : he was young when he was dead, and he died of hunger : it
was, however, voluntary hunger, and this was the cause of that hunger, i.e.,

Once he went round the graveyard in. lona and he saw an old
woman cutting nettles to make broth thereof. " Why art thou doing
that, thou poor little thing ? " says Colum cille. " O darling Father," she
answered, " I have a single cow and she has not yet borne a calf, and I
am expecting it ; and this (broth) is what serves me for a long time back."
Colum cille then determines that nettle-broth should serve him more
for ever, dicens " Since in expectation of the one uncertain cow one is in
this great hunger, it were meet for us though great were the hunger wherein
we should be. For better is what we expect certainly, regnumperenne"
So he said to his servant, " Give thou to me every day nettle-broth
without butter or milk along with it." " It shall be done," says the cook.
He bores the mixing-stick of the broth so that it became a pipe, and
through the pipe butter was poured and mixed with the broth. The
folk of the monastery notice the goodly appearance of the cleric and talk
of it among themselves. That is revealed to him, and this he said :
" May your successors be always murmuring ! Well then," says he to the
servant, " what dost thou put for me every night into the broth ? " " It
is done in thy presence," says the lad : " unless it came out of the hand
or out of the stick with which the broth is mixed, I know of naught else
therein save broth alone." (The trick) is revealed to the cleric.
"Happiness, and a goodly countenance for ever," says he, "to thy
successor ! " And this is fulfilled.

'Tis then that Baithin related to him the noteworthy vision, to wit,
three thrones were seen by him in heaven, namely, a throne of gold
and a throne of silver and a throne of glass. "That is clear," says
Colum cille. "Ciaran son of the wright has the throne of gold on
account of his honour and because of his hospitality. Thou thyself, O
Baithin, hast the throne of silver because of the purity and lustre of thy
devotion. The throne of glass is mine, for though my devotion is
fair, I am often frail and I am carnal."3

bishop Ibar took him from her through a great contest, and Sanctlethan
gave her word to him (Ibar) that the lad should bear her name, and
that he would carry off bishop Ibar's monks from him, though he was
greatly entreating for them ; and this was fulfilled.

Toranndn, i.e. who is in Scotland, i.e. Palladius, who was dis
patched by St. Peter's successor to Ireland before Patrick to teach
them (the Irish). He was not accepted in Ireland, so he went into
Scotland0 : or Torannan, i.e. Mo-Thairen of Telach Fortcheirn and of

scholar leaped in Luachair." Hence he is Moling Luachair, and
Dairchell (had been) his name :

Moling Luachair, qui prius Dairchill nominatus est, son of Faelan
the wright now was he.

Moling said :

When I am among my elders I am a proof of the prohibition of sport ;
when I am among the mad (young) folk they think that I am the
youngest of them.2

Moling was once traversing Luachair Degad with an old woman iir
his company ; and his pace was too fast for the old woman, so she said
to him : " Tis well thou leapest the rushry " (Luachair} quoth she.
Hinc Moling Luachair. Or it may have been over a puddle in
Luachair that he was leaping when she reproved him. i.e. Dairchill

a high champion of the king, a strong, i.e. besides being a champion
of the (heavenly) King he is a strong brother of ours ; and according
to that Moling alone is in the stave. Vel sic quod uerius, for it is in the
commentary on the Martyrology which from the time of the saints is in
Armagh, i.e. comling (?) who is a champion of the King along with him,
and superiority to the King sic. Velut sic, ut episcopus sapit ' the bush
of gold,' i.e. Moling, with a king's champion who was a brother of
his, together with Moling, and superiority to Moling according to
that.

Once as Moling was in the Taiden, he saw Mael-doburchon son of
Cellach coming towards him, seeking his horses. The guesthouse of
multitudes was Mael-doburchon's house. He was especially good ' to
Moling because Moling was his soul-friend. He salutes Moling. " We
are on a search, O cleric," says Mael-doburchon. " On a search for
Christ that is," says Moling. "Awful is that deed which the Jews have
done, crucifying Christ." " We would spend all our might in saving
Him," says Mael-doburchon. Moling then betakes himself (i.e. goes) into
the midst of a thornbrake and sets his cowl on a pole in the midst of
the brake. " Supposing Christ were the cowl, how wouldst thou rescue
him ? " Mael-doburchon cast his raiment from him, and with his hands
he put the brake past him till he reached the cowl, so that it was
between his arms. " That is the way I would rescue Christ," says
Mael-doburchon ; and there were streams of blood out of his fingers.
" Wondrous is that !" says Moling: "thou shalt have the guerdon
thereof with Christ : the men of hell will never spill blood from thee,
and devils will never contend for thy soul. Go thou monk yonder,"
says Moling to the rag1 for which Mael-doburchon was seeking. The
rag gets forward and lays itself on the haunches of the steed in the
place where he was. So Mael-doburchon took it with his horses to his
house.

Said Moling to Adamnan in framing the law :2

It is meet for you if ye visit him, Mael-doburchon son of Cellach,
that you leave your blessing on Mael-doborchon's house.

Moling of Luachair a fosterling of Maedoc of Ferns. From Maed6c
he got Tech Moling. Of the Hui Dega m6ir of Leinster was he. Now
they used to be carried past him over the Garb east and west between
Leinster and Ossory. " My conscience," says he, " it seems to me pleasant
and harmonious when the .... is brought over the Garb eastward.
Horror seizes me when it is brought over it westward." Great tribulation
had he in founding the Taiden, from devils and packs of wolves and'
evil men crossing him.

I have brought (saith he) a branch from Dubglas to my house for dread

of final death :
set ye its end under heavy waves against the trees of Findmas (?)

I have brought a branch, saith he, to my house for fear of final death :
it will protect many souls on the road of star-beautiful heaven.

Once as he was praying in his church he saw a youth coming in to him.
Purple raiment he wore and a distinguished form had he. " That is
well, O cleric," says he. " Amen," says Moling. " Why dost thou not
salute me?" says the youth. "Who art thou?" says Moling. "I am
Christ the Son of God," he answers. " I know not that," says Moling.
" When Christ used to go to converse with God's servants, not in purple,
nor royally, used he to go, but in the shapes of the wretched, to wit, of
the sick and of the leper Christ was wont to be." " Is it unbelief
thou hast in me ? " says the youth ; " whom dost thou suppose to be
here ? " " I suppose," says Moling, " that it is the Devil for my hurt."
" 111 for thee is the unbelief," says the youth. " Well," says Moling,
" here is thy successor, the Gospel of Christ," raising the gospel. " Do
not raise it, O cleric," saith the Devil : " likelier it is I whom thou thinkest.
I am the man of tribulations." " Wherefore hast thou come ?" says
Moling. " That thou mayst bestow thy blessing upon me." " I will not
bestow it," says Moling, "for thou dost not deserve it. Not the
better (wouldst thou be). What good would it be to thee ? " asks
Moling. " If" (says the Devil) " thou shouldst go into a tub of honey
and bathe therein with thy raiment (on), its odour would remain upon
thee unless thy raiment should be washen." " Why does that seem
(good) to thee ? " asks Moling. " Because, though thy blessing do nought
else to me, its good luck and its goodness and its blossom will be on
me externally." "Thou shalt not have it," says Moling, "for thou
deservest it not." " Well," says the Devil, " bestow the full of a curse
upon me." " What good (were that) to thee ? " asks Moling. " Easy
to say, O cleric," he answers : " the mouth from which the curse on me
shall come, its venom and its hurt will be against thee."1 " Go," says
Moling, " thou hast no right to a blessing." " Better were it for me," says
he, "that I had. How shall I earn it?" "By service to God," says
Moling. "Woe is me," says the Devil, "I cannot bring it." "Even a
trifle of study." "Thy study is not greater,2 and it helps me not."
" Fasting then," says Moling. " I am fasting since the beginning of the
world, and not the better am I." " To make genuflexion," says Moling.
"I cannot bend down forward, for backwards are my knees."3 "Go
forth," says Moling : " I am unable to teach thee or to save thee."
Thereof said the Devil :

1 See O'Donovan, Battle of Moira, p. 30 n. as to the effect ot an
undeserved curse. 2 i.e. I am more of a student than you. 3 See

Melusine, vi 172, vii 39, 63, viii 77, ix, 193: ' Les pieds ou les genoux a
rebours,' and Harrison, Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion, p. 234 n.
So in Northern India, the churel, a kind of bhut or ghost, has his feet turned

near Rome, the distance of a journey of three ostents.1 Or Christina r
this is a story of the Romans, that by her was made one causeway
from Rome to Mount Garganus. Thus did this happen : a certain man,
to wit, a king, gave vast love to her, but she said that she would not
forgather with him for anything unless he would help in doing yon
great (deed of) lowliness. Thus is it done, and through the king's help
she offered (to God) the causeway, and through that deed the divine
grace comes on himself, and he serves the Lord, and he and Christina
did not forgather.2

Colman son of Darine, then, i.e. Darine was sister of Colman's
mother, and he was her fosterling. Now Sanct, Darine's sister, was
Colman's mother. Darine was barren, but Sanct was prolific. So
Darine asked for Colman at once after his birth. To her then Sanct

Blithe will he be etc. Molua, son of ochae, i.e. 'armpit,' from Cliiain
ferta Molua, and from Sliab Bladma and from Druim Snechta in Fernmag,
et in aliis locis. ' Molua son of ochae J thus did he get his name. Comgall
of Bennchor once chanced to be wending his way with his household.
It happened that they heard somewhat, the cries of the infant in the
tussock of rushes. Vel Comgall ambulans etc. He (one of Comgall's
monks) gives his kick to the rush-brake, and sees a babe in the midst of
it, and brings it in his armpit. Comgall asked him : " What hast thou
found?" He answered, " I have found a babe." "What didst thou
with it?" says Comgall. "I gave my kick to it," says the monk, "and
I have brought it in my armpit." "This shall be its name," says
Comgall, " My-kick son of armpit," i.e. for its being found in the rushry,
or for the kick which the monk gave to the brake of rushes in which it
was. (Mac ochae, i.e. son of armpit, for apud neteres 'armpit' is
called ochae.} Thereafter then it was fostered by Comgall.

'Son of ochae,'' i.e. son of armpit, for this is the story : when Comgall
of Bennchor was travelling his road he saw a service of angels (coming) to
a bank of rushes which was a little distance from the road. So he said to
one of his community : " Go and see what is in yon bank of rushes.'1 The
man went and gave a kick at the bank, and beholds a babe in the midst of
it, and brings it in his armpit. Then Comgall asked him : " What didst
thou find?" The man said: "I found a little babe." Said Comgall:
" What hast thou done to it ? " He replied, " I gave my kick at it, and
I have brought it under my armpit," etc.

Now it came to pass, when Molua was a student, Comgall and he
came cum caeteris to the church. It is manifested to Comgall that all
who were therein were without a head on anyone of them. "So
Comgall sained their eyes, and they see similiter. They marvel greatly.
" Hence is this," says Comgall : " my soulfriend has died, and I am

headless, and ye, too, are headless, for a man without a soulfriend is a
body without a head." " And what are your counsels besides ? "
" Here is mine for thee," says Molua : " take Christ's gospel to thee,
and let someone uplift it before thee, and kneel to it till thou gettest
a soulfriend out of it." "Go thou for it," says Comgall, "for thou art
the youngest." So he goes and fetches a gospel. Comgall looked at
him and said : " Since in thy hand it happens to be, 'tis thou shalt be
my soulfriend." So that it is his fosterling, who was soulfriend to him ;
and Comgall saw a head on everyone within, and they saw similiter.

Now 'tis Molua that was soulfriend to David of Cell Muine, and to
Coemoc and to Maedoc and to Comgall, ut quidam dixit :

Molua was soulfriend to David over the slow . . . sea,
and to C6em6c and to Maedoc and to Comgall.

Now this is that Molua who never killed a bird or any other living
thing, and Mael-anfaid saw the bird bewailing him. Of him too
Mithiden, my-Ita's angel, gave the testimony when my-Ita was
reproaching him for his forgetfulness (during) three days in not bringing
her food ; for her portion used to be brought to her from heaven every
noon. So the angel said :

The men of heaven, the men of earth—mighty the gloom —
it seemed to them that Lugaid's death was Doomsday.

Never came, never will come, never will reach (heaven)
another saint whose honour is vaster with God.
Or

Never came, never will come — course of valour —
another saint to whom the welcome of the men of heaven will be
greater.

and after they had risen out of their sleep, as it seemed to them,
one of them went out through the door of the cave to buy food,
and thereafter he produced his money in ciuitate. " Get out, O man," say
they: " what thou hast is ancient money: it will not be taken here."
" What's that ? " says he : " what makes ancient money of it ? " " In the
time of Decius," they answer, " it was coined ; and that is a hundred and
fifty-five years ago, and there is now a Christian king, even Constantine

AUGUST 20-25.] MARTYROLOGY OF OENGUS. NOTES. 18

Mochtae's tooth, no empty fame, three hundred years, lasting his tribute,
without a word of error over it up, without a bit of relish over it down.

It was not niggardliness with Mochtae of the garth of Louth :
three hundred priests, two hundred bishops along with him.

Eighty psalm-singing nobles his household — vastness of courses —
without ploughing, or reaping, or drying, without work save only study.

Though he be cunning at carving cold stones, though he be skilled at
plying an axe,

though sweet his chant at songs, I have heard that he who does not
study is dull.

Endn of Druim rathe,1 in the west of Meath, i.e. Enan son of
Ernin, son of Gael, son of Aed, son of Art cuirp, son of Nia Corb. In
the west of Meath is Druim raithe.

20. Dioscorus, i.e. a presbyter in the Thebaid etc.

Pamphilus, i.e. a martyr and bishop, and many with him : a martyr
and a presbyter of Eusebius bishop of Caesarea : he suffered under
Diocletian.

21. of Vincentiiis, i.e. a bishop, i.e. Unnic Tuignech in Hiii Dortain,
i.e. a bishop. Or Uncenti (is the right reading), so that he may be Unnic
in Tugniath, or Uncan Tuigneth.

Senach, i.e. abbot after Finnian, i.e. Failbe's fosterer, and a successor
of Finnen, and in Cliiain Fine in Fir Itha is bishop Senach, or in Cluain
fota Libran, i.e. from Cluain fota mace Fin[e] in the west of Fir telach,
the first abbot after Finnian, and abbot of Clonard was he.

22. of Timothy. Gregory says that this Timothy was a martyr who
suffered in the time of the Kings, and not the disciple of Paul the apostle.

of ' Emilianus etc.

23. of Fortunatus, i.e. in Antioch.

of Eogan of Ard sratha, i.e. Eogan son of bishop Ere of Slane,
son of Dega, son of Brancu, son of Armuir, son of Gaither, son of
Imchad, son of Dubtaige, son of Ross, etc.

24. Patrick Senior, i.e. at Ross dela in Mag locha is Patrick Senior.
Or Patrick Senior is in Glastonbury of the Gaels, that is, a monastery
in the south of England, and Scotti used to dwell there, i.e. from Rpss-
dela in Meath, i.e. in Mag locha precisely he is. Vel quod uerius est, i.e.
in the south-west of England is his convent, et Scotti etc.2

of Patricius abbot and bishop of Ross dela : of Patricius doorward

Dear John's decapitation in great Macerunda,3

Sebaste — the course is written — the name of the village wherein he was

buried.
If he has been struck, if he has been slain, if he has been axed — mighty

the cause —

his like — pleasant the jewel — will never be on Banba's shore.
The world's women, save a few of them, burn in the fire of Doom :
to speak to them is unmeet after the murder of John.

In vengeance for the killing of John comes the Besom out of Fanait4
to expurgate Ireland at the end of the world, as Aileran of the Wisdom
foretold, and Colum cille, i.e. at terce precisely will come the Besom
out of Fanait, ut dixit Colum cille : " Like the grazing of two horses in
a yoke will be the diligence with which it will cleanse Erin."

Of the Besom Aileran said : " Two alehouses shall be in one garth
side by side. He who shall go out of one house into the other will find
no one before him alive in the house he will enter, and no Dne alive in
the house from which he will go. Such will be the swiftness with which
the Besom shall go out of Fanait." .

Riagail said : " Three days and three nights and a year will this
plague be in Ireland. When a boat on Loch Rudraigi shall be clearly
seen from the door of the refectory, then comes the Besom out of
Fanait."

A Tuesday in spring, now, is the day of the week on which the
Besom will come in vengeance for John's passion, as Moling said :
On John's festival will come the onslaught, which will search Ireland

from the south-east,

a fierce dragon that will burn every one it can, without communion,
without sacrifice, etc.5

NOTES.

1. Caedlia etc. and Joshua son of Naue or Joshua son of Nun.

2. with Sendn? i.e. from Lathrach Briuin in Hui Faelain, i.e. with
Senan in Lathrach (Laithrech) Briuin in Hiii Faelain.

3. Colmdn of Druim ferta, i.e. Colman from Cluain ferta Mongain in
Hui Faelain, and Mongan (was) in Hiii Failgi, and Druim ferta is a
hill near the church, a place wherein many miracles used to be wrought
(by Colman). Of Druim ferta i.e. collis etc. Colman, i.e. etc.

Quies Colmdin cum omnibus patribus, who thrice made wine of
well-water, i.e. the first time for Colum cille : the second time for
Fechine of Fore, when he gave his eyes to him :3 the third time for
Riiadan of Lorrha. And that well is in darkness behind Riiadan's
flagstone east in his graveyard ; and everyone on whom water comes in
that graveyard his soul is not punished.

Lon-garad Whiteleg etc. In Mag Tuathait in the northern part of
Ossory, i.e. in Hiii Forcellain, i.e. in Mag Garad, in Disert Garad
precisely, and in Cell Gabra in Sliab Mairgi in Les Longarad.

White-leg, i.e. great bright hair through his legs, or bright-white
were his legs. He was a master of study and jurisprudence and history
and poetry. To him once came Colum cille (as a guest), and he hid his
books from the latter, and Colum cille left a (banning) word on his
books, i.e. " May that as to which thou showest inhospitality be of no
profit after thee ! " And this has been fulfilled, for still the books
remain and no one studies them.

When Lon was dead the book-satchels that were in the cell where
Colum cille dwelt fall. All are silent at that noisy shaking of the
books.3 Then said Colum cille : " Longarad," saith he, " the master of
every art in Ossory, has just now died." "May it be long till that
comes true ! " says Baithine. " Disbelief (be) in thy successor ! " says
Colum cille. Then he made this stave :

Dead is Lon of Cell Garad, great the misfortune !

for Ireland over her border 'tis ruin of study and schools.

son of Cues, i.e. Cnes of Dal Cethirn was his mother, i.e.
Conchaide's daughter, et ab ea nominatus est Mac nissi, i.e. (son) of
Cnes. Or Mac cneise, i.e. of Patrick's skin \cnes\, for with Patrick he
was fostered and used to sleep. Caeman Brecc was his real name.
Fobrec was his mother's name. Oengus his own first name.

Condeire, i.e. wolf-oakwood, i.e. an oakwood in which wolves used to
be, i.e. (there was) an oakwood there formerly, et etc.

4. For the allusion to children in Paradise see Matth. xix. 14.

1 His pedigree LL. 3$2d. 2 See Colgan, Acta Sanctorum, I36b, § 30 of
the second life. 3 Thus in L. : now when he was dead all the book-
satchels fall, for there were books of every science in the room in which
Colum cille was ; and Colum cille, and everyone in the house, marvel. Thus
in LL. 371 c : This is said, that on the night of Lon-garad's death Ireland's
book-satchels and her gospels and her books of instruction fell from their
shelves, as if they understood that never would there come any one like
Lon-garad

Ultan quasi altan 'razor,' for his keenness and sharpness in,
miracles and marvels. He used to be called ' the cleric of the
children,' for after the (plague called) Buide Connaill every babe
without maintenance was brought to Ultan, so that often fifty, or a
hundred-and-fifty, of them were with him at the same time, and he
himself used to feed them, i.e. the children of the women whom the Buide
Connaill had killed. This is what Ultan used to do, to cut off the cows'
teats . . . and pour milk into them, and the babes a-playing around him.

Thus then he used to wend, with his gospel on his back, (hanging)
without any strap to it !

At that time Diarmait son of Cerball was king of Ireland. There
happened (to come) a vast seafleet (of foreigners), which filled most of
Erin's estuaries. Great fear affects Diarmait, and then he said : " Yon
'cleric of the children,' who wends with his gospel on his back and no
strap to it, in him let us put our trust that the plague may be taken
from us." So envoys are sent from Diarmait to Ultan. Then was Ultan
feeding the children when the messengers arrived, and they tell him their
errands. " That is a shame," says Ultan, " that ye did not leave me
alone till my right hand was free. My hand that is free, i.e. the left
hand, I will raise it against these ships. But if it were my right hand
no foreigner would ever invade Ireland." So that hence is (the
proverb) " Ultan's left hand against the evil ! "

Thus F: Then was Ultan feeding certain children, with a bit
of porridge in his lips and some of it on his finger, when the king's
gillie arrived. Ultan spake not to the gillie, but uplifted his left hand.
Then the gillie repaired to the king and told this to him, and the king
understood that the cleric had raised his left hand in order to expel the
fleet. Wherefore from that time to this is (the proverb) ' Ultan's left
hand against every evil.'

The feeding of his fosterlings by Ultan

he wrecked, destroyed, stranded thrice fifty ships with his left hand.

Had it been the right hand that noble Ultan raised against them from us

hence
no foreigner would ever have come here or there into the land of

Erin.

Moninne sang :

Not from a blow on anyone's face are all the clerics red :
'tis a little thing that whitens the visage of Ultan great-grandson of
Conchobar.

'Tis great labour to strive for the height in the valley :
to strive for perfection with the Son of God, this is what would make
the cheeks white.

Ultan was elected into the abbacy of Mochta in Louth, and before
him Fursa had been put thereout.

9. The greaf festival of Ciaran of Cluain. Beoan the Wright, of
Lathranna Molt of Dal Araidi, was his father. Now Darerca was his
mother, as Ciaran himself said :

Darerca my mother, she was not a bad woman,3
Beoan the wright my father, of Latharna Molt.
In the house of the son of the wright he was reared.

Then when the proper time (?) came he asked his father to give him
something by which he might effect his learning, for he meditated going
to Clonard to Finnen, the tutor of Erin's saints, in order to learn.
Said Beoan : " Go through the herds," quoth he, " and what will follow
thee take." A dun cow follows him, and that became ' Ciaran's Dun.'
Twelve measures (of milk) it used to yield at the same time, i.e. a
measure for each of the twelve apostles of Ireland.4

Now when Ciaran was beginning to make a gospel with Finnen,
Colum cille came to Finnen to study. " Dost thou deem it pious (?) to
make a gospel ? " says Finnen to him, " for every one is making it.
Ciaran alone has the book of it." "It is pious," says Colum cille, "and
I will go to Ciaran." He goes accordingly. Ciaran was then preparing
his Gospel lesson, and this especially is what he said : " Whatsoever ye
wish men to do unto you, that do ye unto them." Colum cille enters
the hut. " Dost thou share the book with me ? " says Colum cille.
" It is not easy (says Ciaran) for me to refuse it, since that which we have
just said is against us unless we give it. So let the book with (my)
blessing, be thine," says Ciaran. " Half of Ireland to thee ! " says Colum
cille.

Now when Ciaran finished his work, he asked Finnen, " What shall
be done ? " " Let it be with what follows (thee)," says Finnen. There
after she (the dun cow) follows Ciaran, so that her hide is the goodly
relic which is called ' the Hide of Ciaran's Dun.'

Three and thirty years had Ciaran completed when he died.
Ireland's saints had fasted for his death, for the whole of Ireland would
have been his had not that been done. Odran of Letracha Odrain and
Mac cuillinn of Lusk went to relate to him for what they had fasted.
" Ye have permission ... to go to sain the air before us," says
Ciaran, " and what ye seek will be given to you." So then he composed
the verses beginning : —

- Stay for me, O King of splendid heaven.1

Cutting short Ciaran's life, and sending Colum cille over sea, and
expelling Mochutu from Rathen, those are the three bad stories of the
saints of Erin. The three worst counsels that were done through the
counsel of the saints, i.e. cutting short Ciaran's life, and banishing
Colum cille, and putting Mochutu out of Rathen.3

Now Patrick had foretold him (Ciaran) three score years before his
birth. Comlach, Patrick's leper,3 went oversea to collect saints' relics
and he brought the relics to the place where Bothcraind4 is to-day. A
great elm-tree was there then with a hollow in it. The book-satchel is
put into the hollow and the satchel in which were the relics. On the
morrow they arise. Though they were quick, they saw neither the
hollow nor the satchel. They fall to cutting the tree and nothing can
they do to it, for every chip which they struck from it would come again
upon it. Thereafter Comlach goes into Connaught and tells (this) to
Patrick. " 'Tis true," says Patrick :." those relics are not superfluous
for him who shall come there ; for, at the end of three score years from
to-day, a son, of whom Erin and Alba will be full, will be born, and there
will be his church, and (only) one in a hundred out of it will be in hell,
and there will be thy own relics," says Patrick. " They will not be,"
says Comlach, "unless thy relics shall be there (also)." "My debroth"
says Patrick, "I am willing if God is willing." Accordingly Patrick's
relics are in the grianddl of Clonmacnois, ut alii putant.

Ciaran son of Beoan, son of Olcan, son of Core, son of Cuiniu, son
of Cuinnid, son of Fiac, son of Mai, son of Carthach, son of Laisre, son

io. Findbarr, i.e. of Mag bile in Ulster. Findbarr .i. Finden. What
this verse says is that it was Finden of Mag Bile first brought the law of
Moses into Ireland.5 Or it is to the Gospel that the name of * law,' was
given hie, for it is Findia that first brought the whole Gospel to Ireland,
For it is Finnian of Mag Bile that brought Colman's gospel to Ireland.

of Adamndn, i.e. a diminutive of the name Adam. Adamnan
son of Ronan, son of Tinne, and Ronnat the name of his mother, i.e.
Adamnan son of R6nan, son of Tinne, son of Aed, son of Colum, son
of Setna, son of Fergus, son of Conall, son of Niall of the Nine
Hostages. It came to pass that Adamnan was once travelling in Mag
Breg with his mother on his back, and they saw two battalions smiting
each other. It happened, moreover, that Ronait saw a woman, with an
iron sickle in her hand, dragging another woman out of the opposite
battalion, and the sickle was in her pap. For at that time women as
well as men used to be delivering battle. Then Ronait said : " Thou
shalt not carry me out of this place, until women are freed for ever
from things of yon kind," i.e. from fighting and hosting. Then
Adamnan promised that thing. There chanced to be a great convention
in Ireland. So Adamnan with the pick of Ireland's clerics went (thither)
and freed the women. Now these are the four laws of Erin : Patrick's
law, not to kill the clerics ; and Adamnan's law, not to kill women :
Daire's law, not to kill kine ; and the law of Sunday, not to trangress at
all (thereon).

Admirable was Adamnan. Great was his love of God and his
neighbour. 'Tis by him that the great holy relics were collected in on<;
shrine, and that is the shrine that Cilline Pontifex son of Dichloch
brought to Ireland to make peace and compact between Tyrconnell and
Tyrone. This is the number of the relics, as Adamnan sang.3

place in which he might dwell. "I see none there," says Finden,
" for every one has taken before thee. " What is that empty place
there?" asks Cainnech. "The demon of that road(?) is there," says
Finden, "proving the ecclesiastics." " Let me go to him to expel him,"
says Caindech.2 " May it be easy for thee ! " says Finden. When the
demon beheld him coming towards him, he said this : " O bald, little
cloak ! " says he, " this is not thy path." " Leave the place in which thou
art at once," says Caindech. Thereat the demon arose and left it, and
thereafter Cainnech inhabits the place. " Before God, my dear
brethren," says Caindech to the folk who were along with him, "there
was no limb of knowledge (?) there ; neither my right hand nor my left
came in contact with him," etc.3

Maeldub was his proper name ; but he and Fintan of Cluain Eidnech

commemorationem societatis eius.

Maeldub : Maeldub, however, they say that he was of the Eoganacht
of Cashel : or he is of the race of Brian son of Eochaid Muidmed6n,
i.e. Maeldub son of Amalgad, son of Fothad, son of Conall Gliine, son of
Brian, son of Eochaid Muidmedon.

'Tis that Maeldub whom Fechin of Fore took with him as a fosterling
and set him to study. His good work and his devotion increased so
that Fechin made him cellarer for the congregation ; and of his race is
the Muinter Maelduib. After his death Fechin said :

Maeldub, foe of the base dark devils,

save his cloak and his sheet of linen, he possessed nothing of the world.

The witness which Michael bore as to Maeldub, good was he for whom

he gave it :

since he entered noble religion he set not his ear to a pillow.
Michael's witness as to Maeldub — great the witness as to a son of man,
save the King of the stars, Mary's Son, there is none better for praying

to.
Though I should say ' my back is sore,' it would not be after carrying a

heavy burden :
the crooked midge would not be weary (from the burden) of the evil or

error which Maeldub wrought.

the woods of the world are burnt under the caldron, the water does not
get hot until they are taken out (and put) into the same pool (in which
they were before).

If thou have (aught), spend on Sunday for God's sake :
if thou have not, thou shouldst buy : if thou buy not, thou shouldst

et cognouit earn, et inde conceptus ac natus est Lonan Treote. Sed
Drusticc estimauit quod Rioc earn cognouit, et dixit quod Rioc pater esset
filii. Sed falsum est, quia Rioc uirgo fuit. Iratus est Mugint tune, et misit
quendam puerum in templum, et dixit ei : 'si quis prius in hdc nocte ueniat

Mugint prius ecclesie peruenit, et percussit eum puer, profeta dicente :
Conuertetur dolor eius et in uerticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet, et tune

NOTES.

1. Lonan, Colmdn, Crondn.

.i. Lonan son of Talmach, from Treoit in Bregia. Or Lonan son of
Telchan, from Cliiain fota in Leix.

Lonan son of Talmach, and Drustic, daughter of the king of Britain,
was his mother, and 'tis she that gave the love to Rioc of Inis b6 finde.
So Talmach in his shape went in unto her, and she became pregnant by
him, and by him Mugint was afterwards killed, ut dixit :

Talmach, a disciple without disgrace, was along with Finden,
Lonan — festival without shame — was a son of his, and Drustic was his
mother.

Drustic daughter of the king of Britain, though she was innocent, she

was not timid,
she was a virgin, full was her hardship, so that she gave love to Rioc.1

Colman son of Dimma, of Tech mac nDimmai in Hiii Cellaig
Ciialann, and of Daire Dimma near Cliiain eidnech. Or Colman son of
Findchad son of . . . , from Cliiain Bruiches beside the Flesc, and 'tis
he that at first was in Dun Fleisce.

Cronan, i.e. Cronan great-grandson of Conn, from Tiiaim Grene in
Thomond.

2. he bestowed a blessing, i.e. in Ferta fer Feicc, on the western side
of Sid Truim, Patrick gave a blessing to Ere of Slane in prima pascha
etc. Bishop Ere,2 of Slane, then, a son of his was bishop of Ard Sratha.

Slane i.e. in Bregia.

3. Hilary, i.e. a pope of Rome, i.e. a bishop and abbot of Poitiers,
who composed (the hymn beginning) * Hymnum dicat.™

1 The tale of Rioc and Drustic is thus translated by Dr. Todd (Lib.
Hymn. p. 97) : " Finden of Magh Bile went to Mugint for instruction, and
Rioc and Talmach and several others with him. Drust was King of Britain,
and had a daughter, viz. Drusticc was her name ; and he gave her to
Mugint to be taught to read ; and she fell in love with Rioc, and she said
to Finden : " I will give thee all the books which Mugint has, that thou
mayest transcribe them, if thou will give me Rioc in marriage." And
Finnen sent Talmach to her that night in the form of Rioc, and he knew
her, and from thence was conceived and born Lonan of Treoit. But
Drusticc supposed that Rioc had known her, and she said that Rioc was the
father of her son. But this was false, because Rioc was a virgin. Then
Mugint was wroth, and sent a certain youth into the temple, and said to
him : " Whosoever comes first unto thee this night into the temple smite
him with an axe." He said this because Finden was in the habit of going
first to the temple ; but notwithstanding, on that night, by the providence
of the Lord, Mugint himself went first to the church, and the youth smote
him, as the prophet says : ' For his travail shall come [upon his own head],
and his wickedness shall fall on his own pate' [Ps. vii. 17]. And then
Mugint said Parce etc. 2 See his pedigree LL. 349b. 3 See Todd,

12. to my Cummain, i.e. Cummine,1 son of Fiachna, a successor of
Brenainn of Cluain ferta, of the Eoganacht of Cashel was he.

The Cummine2 here mentioned was king of West Munster, and was
a sage ; and Fiachna begat him per ebrietatem on his own daughter.
And he questioned the daughter : ' By whom hast thou him ? ' And
the daughter said ' By thee.' And Fiachna said : ' He must die ' ; * Be it
so,' says the girl. But when he was born he was brought to Cell Ite,
and there he was left on the top of a cross in a little basket (cuimiri) :
hence he was called Cuimmin, and there he was nursed and taught, and
no one knew whence he was until his mother came one day to visit him
to the house of Ite's successor. And Ite's successor was not there when
she came, and Cuimmin asked for a drink, and his mother gave him the
Abbess' bowl to drink from, and he drank it. Wherefore the abbess
rebuked her for giving him the vessel, and then the mother said, ' Notice
not,' etc., and the staves after it :3

Cummain the Tall, son of Fiachna, son of Fiachra Gairine, son of
Dui, son of Maine, son of Cairbre, son of Core, son of Lugaid.

14. Clement, i.e. he may be abbot of Rome, non papa etc.
Caiman^ i.e. of Inis Mocholmoc in Hiii Fenechlais in the east of

Leinster, and he was a leper.

15. of Secundus, i.e. in Africa.

1 6. Augustine, not the author, but the other Augustine who was
sent, etc.

17. Thecla, virgin and martyr.

Buaid bed, i.e. Biiaid-beo son of Lugaid, son of Liathchii, son of
Araide, a quo Dal Araidi, i.e. of Cell mor Airthir fine, i.e. he is at the
end of Mag n-elta in Gaill (the Plain of Clontarf}.

Duilech, i.e. from Clochar Duilig to the south of Faeldruim in
Fingal.

18. of Rdndn, i.e. R6nan4son of Berach, from Druimm Inesclainn in
Conalli Muirthemni, i.e. Ronan son of Berach, son of Crimthann, son
of Ere loga, son of Ernaide, son of Murene, son of Sechnasach, son of
Colum cuile, son of Muredach, son of L6iguire, son of Niall, at
Druim Inesclainn in Conailli Murthemni he is.

Leinster. Or bishop Froechan would be proper there, ut alii putant, a

the Tall, son of Fiachna, of the Eoganacht of Cashel. On his own daughter
Fiachna begot him through drunkenness : for the girl used to sleep with
her mother. So her father made her confess to find out to whom the son
was born, and she confessed that it was by him. He said that the child
should be cast into the mouths of wild beasts, so that neither he nor his
daughter should ever see it. Then the child was taken from her in a small
vessel wherein milk used to be, and was left on the top of a cross in front
of the church, with purple raiment [was this to mark the royal descent of
the child, or to appease the gods ? (purpura dis advocatur placandis,
Plin. N. H. ix. 60], — around it, and three score ounces of silver. 3 Thus

in LH.\ Notice not though I give drink to my brother : | he is Fiachna's
son, he is Fiachna's grandson, his mother is Fiachna's daughter. 4 A

little east of Cliiain eidnech. Idea dicitur Esconn 'impure,' because for
thirty years he was unbaptized.

21. A holy couple, i.e. two mighty saints, i.e. two chiefs.
Clement, i.e. a pope and bishop of Rome.

Son of Coman, of Aran. i.e. Colman his name, i.e. from the
eastern Aran. Or Aru and Eriu are the two hills side by side.

son of Congrad of Erin, i.e. Aedan son of Congrad is his name,
and in Cliiain eidnech is Aedan the pilgrim, son of Concrad. Or
Aedan son of Jacob, ut alii dicunt. Aedan son of Congnad of Cliiain
eidnech or of Enach truim.

22. Caecilia, a virgin in Rome.1

23. of Clement, i.e. Clement, i.e. bishop and abbot of Rome. There
is a splendid convent of Clement's under the sea in which he was
drowned, and every year, on Clement's feastday, the sea ebbs so that
the convent is clear among waves, i.e. among the noises of the waves of
the sea ; and men go thither to fast ; and a certain woman once
forgetfully left her child there and it was whole at the end of a year
(and came) to meet her2 again through God's grace and Clement's, etc.

24. Ciandn from Daimliac in Bregia.3 Thus is Cianan's body, without
corrupting, without dissolving,4 in the tomb to the east of the damliac
and the cause thereof is this : Cairnech of Tuilen once came to Damliac
Cianain, and they proceed to give him a bath. No domain, i.e. bottom,
was found in the tub. "That is a shame," says Cianan. "What?"
asks Cairnech. " Not to have a bottom in the tub," says Cianan.
" Put the water into it," says Cairnech, "and let the washing be done."
Water is poured into it, and not a drop went out. " Get thee into the
tub, O Cairnech," says Cianan. " Let us go together," says Cairnech.
They go. " Comely is the body, O cleric," says Cairnech. " As it is (now)
indeed," says Cianan. "I beseech God," then says Cairnech, "that it
may abide as it is for ever without corrupting, without dissolving, until
Christ shall come to the great assembly of Doom." And that is fulfilled.

A high-bishop used to cut Cianan's hair and nails every Maundy
Thursday in every year down to Adamnan's time. Now Adamnan went
into the tomb to behold and touch the body. Forthwith his eye is
struck out. So he/asts regarding it, and his eye is then restored to him.
Thenceforward no one dares to enter the tomb.

Now Patrick copied Cianan's (transcript of the) canon,5 and Cianan
copied Patrick's. For an interchange they did that ; and Patrick asked
this, for Cianan's writing was the better.

And the union of Colum cille and Cianan was made thus, i.e.
Colum cille's hand (thrust) in through the southern side of the tomb
even to the half, and Cianan's hand (thrust) out even to half the side,
and then they make the union.

At the end of a great time after the killing of Niall of the Nine

Hostages by Eochaid son of Endae Cennselach,1 and after Niall had
gained a realm as far as the sea of Wight, Cairnech came with his monks
to Ireland, and reached Tulach Maini ; and Maine and his children
knelt to him, and offered the hill to him and to the clerics, whence it is
now called Tulach Maini; and Maine gave to that church his own
manual service and the service of his children after him. However,
NialPs body was afterwards taken out of the ground by Cairnech, and
thou wouldst think that he had died that very hour, so that there was no
lack of shape or form upon him, for it is a tub with healing herbs that
was around him in his grave. Now a mass was said by the clerics over
NialPs body, and at the (sprinkling of) holy water the herbs part from
him.2 The king's body was then re-buried in Tuilen by Cairnech, so
that it was Tuilen's first corpse.

Colman Duib Cuilinn, i.e. black Colman from Cuilenn, i.e. a
mountain which is at Belach Conglais in Leinster. Colman of the ink
(duiti) of Cuilenn in the Renna, i.e. from Diin Rechet and from Belach
Conglais in Leinster, and from other places. Comgall of Bangor went
to the house of Colman duib Chuilinn's father, who had a barren wife.
Then the cleric asks writing-ink of the barren wife. It is given
(and she tastes it). Thereof Colman is conceived. Hence he was called
Colman of the ink of Cuilenn.

Cluain Crocha in Cairbre is the name of the church out of which he
went.

Findchufrom Bri gobann, i.e. in Fir Maige in Munster.

Now this was FindchuV custom : every corpse that was brought to
the church, to lie with it the first night. And this was the guerdon he
asked therefor, that the Devil should not vanquish any person who
should beseech him at death, and that such person should not go to
hell.

And this is the prison- in which he sat, namely, a flagstone over his
head and a sickle of iron in each of his armpits (by which he was
suspended), so that his head would not touch the stone above nor his
feet the floor (below). And Comgall of Bennchor chanced to visit him
and said, " Come down," quoth he. Then said Findchii :

" This is the one prayer that I pray on my parting from the engine (of

torture), '
that no one be a dweller in hell, who shall beseech me at (his)

death."
Comgall said : " That shalt thou have from God."

west of Meath.

3. Mace bige, i.e. abbot of Less m6r Mochutu, and he was called
'the Frightener or the Disturber,' and this is the cause : when he was a
little child, the plough-teams of the world, and every other kind of
cattle which used to serve human beings, when they used to see him,
would flee before him in panic and terror. Hence was understood the
great servitude to him in which they were all to be thereafter.

4. Merobius, Claudicus. Both these suffered in Laodicea.

Fer da lethe, 'man of two parts,' i.e. Berchan of Cluain sosta .in

i.e. fire as is said in the proverb bot fo Bregaib 'fire throughout Bregia,'
whence is now said butelach, i.e. where there has been a great fire.- Or bute
quasi bete, from beatus. Beatus autem dicitur quasi bene auctus, for fair was
his aggrandizement, a star manifesting his conception, as happened at
the manifestation of Christ. Or bute quasi beo De, for unto God (Dia)
he was alive (beo), as hath been written' 'they which live shall not
henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them and
rose again,' doing in this world, not their own will, but His who suffered
for them.

From one calends to the
other we have given our search.
O Jesus with true goodness,
thou possessest thy year !

The troop of every single day
we have heretofore(P) measured
it out. We cut off the
excess, our end20 against the
head of January.-1

Weak was our power in a
poor body that is lowliest ; but
what is noblest has strength
ened (?) us, the high love of
Jesu's cohort.

Patriarchs, prophets, though
they were servants of Christ's,
unto people in plenty, their
feasts are unknown.

But it is known that, save on

has reached the high heaven of
this King.

I have searched out martyr-

desire I have wrought : to the
saints I have given.

They have bestowed their
blessing on every one who shall
sing it : they will come to
attend him at the time he shall
die.

With the life of his soul in
the realm of the bright sun,
on the hills of the seven heavens,
having been born past tor
ments.

(There was) neither forgetful-

'Tis a veritable giving of con

three triduans, for every place in
which it is sung (it is) the
prayers of a hundred believers.

'Tis a reliquary, 'tis a com

'tis a requiem for the dead.

'Tis an awakening of
penitence, though his heart be
hardened : it increases his
wealth : it bears him into the
kingdom of heaven.

'Tis a corslet round devotion
against the seductions of

'Tis a litany in life against

'Tis a manifestation of

His soul without striving, into

him, when he has attained it,

Christ, with my wretchedness,
I appeal by their feasts.

Against the incitement of the
world, for great is its might, I
appeal by their longing (as they
stand) around Thee with white
raiment.

I appeal by their spirits in
thy royal realm with beauty :
unto Thee, for they are to be
known, I appeal by their
relics.

Any prayer that I pray to
Thee, that Thou shouldst not
refuse it, I appeal by their tears
over their white faces.

I appeal by the shout of
triumph which every son of
devotion cries, by the rain of
chilly blood through his own
poor side.

Thy Manhood, Thy God
head, with thy Holy (septi)form
Spirit. I appeal by thy union
with the heavenly Father.

I appeal with thy saints, to
Thee by all that I say, that I
may have in Thy kingdom
everything for which I contend.

At every battle on which my
proud elated mind has fallen,
at the smiting of my mindful
body, may thy household pray
to Thee !

Hear Thou, O Jesus, Thy
feeble exile ! severance from
the world I prefer to staying
(here).

That my affliction be healed
by obtaining my prayers ; my
Friend is not given to refusal :
I appeal to Thee by all.

not to be in your company is
what disquiets me greatly.

Much sorrow disquiets me

Ye are able to help me, for

Great is the strait wherein I

ye are able to help me.

may not be pleasing to men :
that anger be not after us, let
the prayer be changed,

The prayer that 1 have
prayed is not for evil to men :
severance from unrighteous
ness I prefer to abiding (here).

Hearken Thou, O Jesus, O
Christ, whose servant I am,
mayst thou grant all the
prayer of every son of piety !

The prayer of every son of
piety, O Lord, it is not idle :
mayst Thou grant (it) to them,
if what they pray be fitting.

If what they pray be fitting,
O King that rulest the earth,
mayst Thou save their bodies,
mayst Thou sanctify their souls!

The soul of every son of Life
through Thee has been sancti

'A young cleric of the community of Ferns, a fosterling of
Brigit's, comes to her with dainties. He was with her in the
refectory consuming his ration. Once upon a time then, after going
to conmunion, Brigit strikes a clapper. "Well, thou young cleric
there, hast thou a soulfriend ?" "I have, indeed," says the young
cleric. " Let us sing his requiem." "Why so?" asks the young
cleric. " He has died " (says Brigit). "When thou hadst finished
half thy ration I saw that he was dead." " How knewest thou
that ?" " Easy to say : from the time that thy soulfriend was dead I
saw that thy ration was put into thy trunk, thou being quite
headless. Go forth : eat nothing till thou gettest a soulfriend, for a
man without a soulfriend is a body without a head : for it is ' water
of a limy lough '— i,e. neither good for drinking nor for washing—
that is like a man without a soulfriend.'

P. 66, 11. 26, 27. Hence we may infer : i, that the Old- Irish altars were of

didicit, et ad iracundiam concitatus, quia provocaverunt eum films
et filia. Sed qui in temptatione facit proventum afficit, atque flam-
mam ignis desuper mittens, ab invicem separavit. Que virginem
irrecuperabili cecitate percussit, ac domum reversa penetentiam

' Mael-Bresail son of Fland Lena was a-ravaging. And one of his
ravages was the outraging of Hua Suanaig's Cross .and of his
safe-conduct in Fid Ela of the retinue of the artists. Hence is
(the name) 'The Cross of the Satirists.' In the lordship of
Domnall son of Murchad was that outrage. Domnall son of
Murchad Hua Cailcfn arrested all (the wrongdoers). And he was
unable to award judgment and mulct because of the greatness of
the outrage. So it was cast upon the conscience of Hua

Suanaig himself. This is Hua Suanaig's judgment : to wit, the
land of the murder, namely, Ross Corr, to fall in ownership to
S. Mochutu and to Hiia Suanaig, and the persons that com
mitted the murders — i.e., the Hui Gilli Suanaig, the Hui Cernaig
and the Hui Conin — to be without return to their sept until the
conflagration of Doomsday.'

Note 2, add According to Mr. Plummer, " the story of Suite and
Maelcaich is found in the Latin Life of Buite, Rawl. B. 505,
fo. 1 54. After miraculously crossing the Boyne, Buite raised from
the dead a man who had been decapitated (f. 155 a 2). This was
Maelcaich, whom he made gardener to the monastery. But
Maelcaich broke his vow, and so his head dropt off aeain ! "
(f. 1 56 a 2.)

entered it. They were in the cave, asleep, to the end of 1 50 years,
till Christian kings came on the world, and men proceeded to
protect a city. They went to the cave in which the sleepers were
and took its stones to make thereof a defence. Then after the
seven had risen out of sleep, as seemed to them, one of them went
to buy food. He produced his money in the city. " Get out, O
man," say the citizens, " 'tis old money that thou hast ; it will not be
accepted from thee. There are i 50 years since that money served,
and it is a Christian king that is there [i.e. on the current coin]
to-day," namely, Constantine, son of Helena. So then he knew
his fate, and he rendered thanks to God and told all his true tales,
and his comrades were taken out of the cave, and afterwards the
king was brought to hold speech with them, and they told him
their true tidings ; and the Christians, and the name of God, were
magnified because of that miracle.'
