Gúbretha Caratniad
''Gúbretha Caratniad'' (Old Irish for "False judgements of Caratnia") is a collection of exceptions to the rules of early Irish law. These exceptions are given in a formulaic manner, as a dialogue between the legendary high king Conn Cétchathach and his judge Caratnia, in which Caratnia delivers his judgement, Conn objects, and Caratnia explains the exception. Manuscripts The complete text of ''Gúbretha Caratniad'' is contained in the Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 502, a 12th-century Irish manuscript which is the oldest to preserve any early Irish law text. The reliability of this manuscript of ''Gúbretha'' is quite high. In Rawlinson B 502, glosses to ''Gúbretha Caratniad'' are provided, which cite other early Irish texts in order illustrate the rule, or exception, in question. These glosses appear to have been copied by the scribe, rather than originating with him. The other manuscript of ''Gúbretha'' is an incomplete text in Dublin, Trinity College MS 1363 (or H 4. 2 ...

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 Law
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 sta ...

Conn Cétchathach
Conn Cétchathach (), or Conn of the Hundred Battles, son of Fedlimid Rechtmar, was a legendary High King of Ireland who is claimed to be the ancestor of the Connachta, and through his descendant Niall Noígiallach, the Uí Néill dynasties, which dominated Ireland in the early Middle Ages. Literary tradition Early life and accession The ''Annals of the Four Masters'' says that five roads to Tara, which had never been seen before, were discovered on the night of Conn's birth. According to the '' Lebor Gabála Érenn'', he took power after killing his predecessor Cathair Mór. In other sources his predecessor is Dáire Doimthech. The '' Lia Fáil'', the coronation stone at Tara which was said to roar when the rightful king stood on it, roared under Conn for the first time since Cúchulainn split it with his sword when it failed to roar for Lugaid Riab nDerg. In the saga ''Baile in Scáil'' ("The Phantom's Ecstatic Vision"), Conn treads on the stone by accident while walki ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 502
Oxford, Bodleian Library, Rawlinson B 502 is a medieval Irish manuscript which currently resides in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It ranks as one of the three major surviving Irish manuscripts to have been produced in pre-Norman Ireland, the two other works being Lebor na hUidre and the Book of Leinster. Some scholars have also called it the Book of Glendalough, in Irish ''Lebar Glinne Dá Locha'', after several allusions in medieval and early modern sources to a manuscript of that name. However, there is currently no agreement as to whether Rawlinson B 502, more precisely its second part, is to be identified as the manuscript referred to by that title. It was described by Brian Ó Cuív as one of the "most important and most beautiful ... undoubtedly the most magnificent" of the surviving medieval Irish manuscripts. Pádraig Ó Riain states ".. a rich, as yet largely unworked, source of information on the concerns of the community at Glendalough in or about the year 1131, and ...

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] |
Incipit
The incipit ( ) of a text is the first few words of the text, employed as an identifying label. In a musical composition, an incipit is an initial sequence of Musical note, notes, having the same purpose. The word ''incipit'' comes from Latin and means "it begins". Its counterpart taken from the ending of the text is the Explicit (text), explicit. Before the development of title (publishing), titles, texts were often referred to by their incipits, as with for example ''Agnus Dei (liturgy), Agnus Dei''. During the medieval period in Europe, incipits were often written in a different Typeface, script or colour from the rest of the work of which they were a part, and "incipit pages" might be heavily decorated with Illuminated manuscript, illumination. Though the word ''incipit'' is Latin, the practice of the incipit predates classical antiquity by several millennia and can be found in various parts of the world. Although not always called by the name of ''incipit'' today, the practi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rudolf Thurneysen
Eduard Rudolf Thurneysen (14 March 1857 – 9 August 1940) was a Swiss linguist and Celticist. Biography Born in Basel, Thurneysen studied classical philology in Basel, Leipzig, Berlin and Paris. His teachers included Ernst Windisch and Heinrich Zimmer. He received his promotion (approximating to a doctorate) in 1879 and his habilitation, in Latin and the Celtic languages, followed at the University of Jena in 1882. From 1885 to 1887 he taught Latin at Jena, then taking up the Chair of Comparative Philology at the University of Freiburg where he replaced Karl Brugmann, a renowned expert in Indo-European studies. In 1896, he posited Thurneysen's law, a proposed sound law concerning the alternation of voiced and voiceless fricatives in certain affixes in Gothic; it was later published in 1898. In 1909 Thurneysen published his , translated into English as ''A Grammar of Old Irish'' by D. A. Binchy and Osborn Bergin, and still in print as of 2006. A version in Welsh wa ...

Anfuigell
''Anfuigell'' (Old Irish for "Wrong judgement" or "No judgement") is a fragmentarily preserved early Irish legal text, dealing with situations in which legal judgement is difficult or impossible. Manuscripts No copy of ''Anfuigell'' has survived. Instead, quotations and excerpts from it are preserved (with commentary) in various manuscripts. For example, O'Davoren's Glossary preserves three quotes from ''Anfuigell''. Some excerpts belonging to '' Aidbred'' were previously mis-allocated to ''Anfuigell''. Charlene Eska has published the fragments of ''Anfuigell'' (divided into 58 sections and a heading) with translation and commentary. The title derives from the incipit of the text: ("The wrong decision of a judge is a raven's call to battle"). The word can be analysed as negative prefix + ('judgement'). It can be translated as "wrong judgement" or "no judgement". Contents The subject-matter of ''Anfuigell'' is scenarios in which judgement is difficult or impossible. Many di ...

Recholl Breth
''Recholl Breth'' (Old Irish for "Shroud of Judgements") is a legal text dealing with cases in which a legal fault is not immediately obvious. It touches on contract law, rightful kings, and marriage law. It is the 13th text in the ''Senchas Már''. Manuscripts and title There is a single complete copy of ''Recholl Breth'', contained in Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1433 alongside six other texts from the middle third of the ''Senchas Már''. Two other manuscripts (Trinity College MS 1336 and 1337) have extracts from it, with commentary. An edition, with translation, was included in the ''Ancient Laws of Ireland'' (Vol. 4, 1879). However, this was erroneously edited as if it were part of the text of '' Din Techtugud'', a preceding text in the ''Senchas Már'' dealing with land possession. As of 2019, Charlene Eska was preparing a new edition and translation of ''Recholl Breth''. The title ''Recholl Breth'' is found in various forms in the manuscript tradition (''Rechull'', ''Rac ...

Hittite Laws
The Hittite laws, also known as the Code of the Nesilim, constitute an ancient legal code dating from – 1500 BCE. They have been preserved on a number of Hittite cuneiform tablets found at Hattusa ( CTH 291–292, listing 200 laws). Copies have been found written in Old Hittite as well as in Middle and Late Hittite, indicating that they had validity throughout the duration of the Hittite Empire (ca. 1650–1100 BCE). The Hittite laws reflected the empire's social structure, sense of justice, and morality, addressing common outlawed actions such as assault, theft, murder, witchcraft, and divorce, among others. The code is particularly notable due to a number of its provisions, covering social issues that included the humane treatment of slaves. Although they were considered lesser than free men, the slaves under the code were allowed to choose whomever they wanted to marry, buy property, open businesses, and purchase their freedom.
