Bretha Étgid
''Bretha Étgid'' or ''Éitgid'' (Old Irish for "Judgments of Inadvertence") is an early Irish legal text on liability for injury. It is only fragmentarily preserved, and written in a condensed style, but is our main source for the early Irish law of accidents. A section on pica has also been noted for giving valuable insight into the lives of women in medieval Irish society. It dates to the 8th century CE. Manuscripts and editions There are seven manuscripts of ''Bretha Étgid'', none complete. Only one of these manuscripts (Royal Irish Academy, MS 23 P 3) preserves the text of ''Bretha Étgid'' in a continuous fashion; the rest only give excerpts or quotes. This continuous manuscript preserves a much less abbreviated text than appears in the quotes or excerpts. In addition to this, O'Davoren's Glossary preserves a number of quotes from ''Bretha Étgid''. D. A. Binchy described these manuscripts as using the quotes from ''Bretha Étgid'' as "pegs on which to hang voluminous co ...

Old Irish
Old Irish, also called Old Gaelic (, Ogham, Ogham script: ᚌᚑᚔᚇᚓᚂᚉ; ; ; or ), is the oldest form of the Goidelic languages, Goidelic/Gaelic language for which there are extensive written texts. It was used from 600 to 900. The main contemporary texts are dated 700–850; by 900 the language had already transitioned into early Middle Irish. Some Old Irish texts date from the 10th century, although these are presumably copies of texts written at an earlier time. Old Irish is forebear to Modern Irish, Manx language, Manx and Scottish Gaelic. Old Irish is known for having a particularly complex system of morphology (linguistics), morphology and especially of allomorphy (more or less unpredictable variations in stems and suffixes in differing circumstances), as well as a complex phonology, sound system involving grammatically significant Irish initial mutations, consonant mutations to the initial consonant of a word. Apparently,It is difficult to know for sure, giv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Early Irish Legal
Early Irish law, also called Brehon law (from the old Irish word breithim meaning judge), comprised the statutes which governed everyday life in Early Medieval Ireland. They were partially eclipsed by the Norman invasion of 1169, but underwent a resurgence from the 13th until the 17th century, over the majority of the island, and survived into Early Modern Ireland in parallel with English law. Early Irish law was often mixed with Christian influence and juristic innovation. These secular laws existed in parallel, and occasionally in conflict, with canon law throughout the early Christian period. The laws were a civil rather than a criminal code, concerned with the payment of compensation for harm done and the regulation of property, inheritance and contracts; the concept of state-administered punishment for crime was foreign to Ireland's early jurists. They show Ireland in the early medieval period to have been a hierarchical society, taking great care to define social status ...

Pica (disorder)
Pica ("PIE-kuh"; IPA: /ˈpaɪkə/) is the craving or consumption of objects that are not normally intended to be consumed. It is classified as an eating disorder but can also be the result of an existing mental disorder. The ingested or craved substance may be biological, natural, or manmade. The term was drawn directly from the medieval Latin word for magpie, a bird subject to much folklore regarding its opportunistic feeding behaviors. According to the '' Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition'' (DSM-5), pica as a standalone eating disorder must persist for more than one month at an age when eating such objects is considered developmentally inappropriate, not part of culturally sanctioned practice, and sufficiently severe to warrant clinical attention. Pica may lead to intoxication in children, which can result in an impairment of both physical and mental development. In addition, it can cause surgical emergencies to address intestinal obstruction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

O'Davoren's Glossary
O'Davoren's Glossary is an early modern glossary of Old Irish terms, many of which are legal in nature. The glossary is important for its well-preserved quotations from early Irish legal texts (which would otherwise have been lost or preserved only in corrupt form). The glossary is associated with the Mac Aodhagáin (McEgan) law school in Park, County Galway, Galway. Manuscripts and editions O'Davoren's Glossary survives in two independent and contemporary copies, British Library, MS Egerton 88 (given the siglum E) and Trinity College Dublin, MS 1317 (given siglum F). E is from the hand of Domhnall Ó Duibhdábhoirenn (O'Davoren) and is dated to 1564. The manuscript Egerton 88 is associated with O'Davorens, an obscure Irish legal family. F is from the hand of Dubhaltach Mór Mac Firbhisigh. Of the two manuscripts, F is the much worse preserved: the definitions under the letters A, B, and O are entirely missing; substantial portions are missing from other letters; and, in some sec ...

Library Of Trinity College Dublin
The Library of Trinity College Dublin () serves Trinity College, and is the largest library in Ireland. It is a legal deposit or "copyright library", which means that publishers in Ireland must deposit a copy of all their publications there without charge. It is the only Irish library to also hold such rights for works published in the United Kingdom. It is one of the most iconic and prominent landmarks of the university, and has housed the Book of Kells since 1661. The Library is also the permanent home to the Brian Boru harp, a national symbol of Ireland, as well as a copy of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic. One of the four volumes of the Book of Kells is on public display at any given time. The volumes and pages shown are regularly changed; a new display case installed in 2020 facilitated all pages to be displayed, including many which had not been seen in public for several decades. Members of the University of Dublin also have access to the libraries of Ta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Muirbretha
''Muirbretha'' (Old Irish for "Sea-judgements") is a fragmentarily preserved early Irish legal text dealing with maritime law, especially the law of shipwrecks. It is the 38th text in the ''Senchas Már''. Manuscripts ''Muirbretha'' is preserved only in fragments. Charlene Eska lists five manuscript sources (given sigla A–E; mostly from collections of unattributed legal excerpts, but including C, an excerpt from ''Bretha Éitgid'') as well as a number of quotations from O'Davoren's Glossary. These fragments are accompanied by glosses and commentaries, which help us understand more about the nature of early Irish maritime law. The title for this tract is given in Cormac's Glossary and ''Cethairṡlicht Athgabálae''. Contents ''Muirbretha'' is our main source for early Irish maritime law. It is the 38th text of the collection of legal texts called the ''Senchas Már'', placed in the final third of that collection. The compilation of the ''Senchas Már'' is generally dated ...

Cormac Mac Airt
Cormac mac Airt, also known as Cormac ua Cuinn (grandson of Conn) or Cormac Ulfada (long beard), was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He is probably the most famous of the ancient High Kings, and may have been an authentic historical figure, although many legends have attached themselves to him, and his reign is variously dated as early as the 2nd century and as late as the 4th. He is said to have ruled from Tara, the seat of the High Kings of Ireland, for forty years, and under his rule, Tara flourished. He is credited for building many of the monuments at the Hill of Tara such as the Banqueting Hall, Cormac's house, and Gráinne's Enclosure, named after his daughter. He was famous for his wise, true, and generous judgments. In the Annals of Clonmacnoise, translated in 1627, he is described as: The hero Fionn mac Cumhaill is supposed to have lived in Cormac's time, and most of the stories of the Fenian Cycle are set durin ...

Cenn Fáelad
Cenn Fáelad mac Blathmaic (died 675) followed his father Blathmac mac Áedo Sláine (d. 665) and his brother Sechnassach (d. 671) as High King of Ireland and king of Brega. He belonged to the Síl nÁedo Sláine kindred of the southern Uí Néill which took its name from his grandfather Áed Sláine (died 604). He was killed, probably in an ambush during a royal circuit of Ireland, near Lough Derg, by his first cousin, rival, and eventual successor, Fínsnechta Fledach (died 695). The ''Fragmentary Annals of Ireland'' say of this:The soldiers from the west of the land closed about Fínnachta; Cenn Fáelad's kingship was shorn from him—great its propriety. While the '' Baile Chuinn Chétchathaig'', compiled in the reign of Fínsnechta, does not include Cenn Fáelad among its High Kings, the Chronicle of Ireland, on which other Irish annals A number of Irish annals, of which the earliest was the Chronicle of Ireland, were compiled up to and shortly after the end of the 17 ...

Uraicecht Becc
''Uraicecht Becc'' (Old Irish for "Small Primer"; ''uraicecht'' is a variant of ''airaiccecht'' 'air''- 'before' + ''aiccecht'' 'instruction,' from Latin ''acceptum'' 'primer') is an Old Irish legal tract on status. Of all status tracts, it has the greatest breadth in coverage, including not only commoners, kings, churchmen and poets, but also a variety of other professional groups, including judges. However, it does not go into as much detail for each group and level as do other status tracts. T.M. Charles-Edwards suggests that it is "almost certainly of Munster origin", as it asserts the supremacy of the king of Munster above other Irish kings and makes reference to the monasteries of Emly and Cork. Contents The Small Primer goes into detail regarding the poets' place in Irish society. It lists the seven grades of poets, including their honor price, and the pay earned for the various meters they could perform. D.A. Binchy suggested that ''Uraicecht Becc'' (alongside the lega ...

Cóic Conara Fugill
''Cóic Conara Fugill'' (Old Irish for "Five paths to judgement") is a short early Irish legal tract dealing with court procedure. It was composed in the 8th or 9th century, and is the only early Irish legal tract to describe how a litigant could put his case before a judge, though the system described in it seems to have no longer been in force by the 10th or 11th century CE. Manuscripts The complete text of ''Cóic Conara Fugill'' is preserved in several manuscripts. There are five copies of it in the ''Corpus Iuris Hibernici'' alone. Rudolf Thurneysen (1925) published an edition of this text with commentary and German translation. Thurneysen (1933) later published a supplement to this, with the text of a manuscript of ''Cóic Conara Fugill'' that had subsequently come to light (within a text of ''Uraicecht Becc''). Thurneysen distinguished two recensions of the text: RE and H. RE is the earlier recension; its text comes from two manuscripts, R and E, of which R has fewer error ...
