*Subject:* [glossing.org] Two notices from Galway

Dear all,

I'd like to share two notices from Galway, which I hope might be of
interest to this group.

1) *De origine scoticae linguae*
My edition of this seventh-century etymological glossary was published
earlier this year. Here is the blurb:

*"De Origine Scoticae Linguae* (also known as O’Mulconry’s Glossary) is a
text originating in seventh-century Ireland that provides etymologies for
c. 880 Irish words, mostly drawn from Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Its Latin
prologue declares its affiliation to the Graeco-Roman linguistic tradition,
claiming an origin for the Irish language in the Greek dialects Attic,
Doric and Aeolic. The glossary attests to the transmission and reception of
the Latin grammatical tradition in Ireland and shines light in particular
on the Irish knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. The text also represents a
milestone in the history of European linguistics, as the earliest
etymological study of a European vernacular language.

The glossary was published once before, by Whitley Stokes in 1898. This new
edition provides the first translation and textual commentary, clarifying
the sense of difficult entries and discussing sources. The introduction
analyses the structure and contents, origins and development, linguistic
issues, and relationships to other texts. The text is edited here along
with a shorter related glossary of 232 entries, entitled Irsan, which
includes shared material and sheds further light on its development."

interests in glossing, glossaries and similar topics.
