Clavis Litterarum Hibernensium: Medieval Irish Books and Texts (C.400-C.1600) 1

This Work Describes The Whole Literary And Scholarly Output Of The Whole Of The Irish Middle Ages (4th-17th Centuries), In Latin And In The Vernaculars, And Tries To Do So As Comprehensively As Possible, Esp. In Biblica, Liturgica, Computistica, Hagiographica And Grammatica. The Book Focuses Both On Individual Manuscripts And On Textual Transmission. In The Case Of Manuscripts, It Gives Succinctly Information And A Detailed Bibliography, Always Chronologically Arranged. In The Case Of Texts, It Lists The Manuscripts In Which They Occur Or, On Occasion, Where Such A List Can Be Found, Together With A Bibliography Of Relevant Publications. In The Case Of Both, There Are Running Cross-references To The Standard Works Of Reference. Concordantiae, At The End Of The Volume, Reinforce That. The 'index Manuscriptorum' Is The Most Comprehensive Attempt So Far To List The Mss Written By The Medieval Irish Or Transmitting Their Texts. It Should Allow New Work On The Fortuna Of Irish Mss And Texts And Their Influence Throughout The Middle Ages. The Chapters On Mss And Texts Written In Irish Provide The Treatment Of Several Areas: Annals, Genealogies, Vernacular Law, Early Poetry, Bardic Poetry And Metrics.--see Publisher's Website. Esta obra describe la producción literaria y académica de toda la Edad Media irlandesa (siglos IV-XVII), en latín y en lengua vernácula, y trata de hacerlo de la manera más completa posible, especialmente en biblia, liturgia, computística, hagiografía y gramática. El libro se centra tanto en los manuscritos individuales como en la transmisión de textos. En el caso de los manuscritos, proporciona información sucinta y una bibliografía detallada, siempre ordenada cronológicamente. En el caso de los textos, se enumeran los manuscritos en los que se encuentran o, en su caso, en los que se puede encontrar dicha lista, junto con una bibliografía de las publicaciones pertinentes. En ambos casos, hay referencias cruzadas a las obras de referencia estándar. Las Concordantiae, al final del volumen, lo refuerzan. El'Index Manuscriptorum' es el intento más completo hasta ahora de listar el MSS escrito por los irlandeses medievales o de transmitir sus textos. Debería permitir nuevos trabajos sobre la situación del MSS irlandés y los textos y su influencia a lo largo de la Edad Media. Los capítulos sobre MSS y los textos escritos en irlandés ofrecen el tratamiento de varias áreas: anales, genealogías, derecho vernáculo, poesía antigua, poesía bárdica y métrica This work describes the whole literary and scholarly output of the whole of the Irish middle ages (4th to 17th Centuries), in Latin and in the vernaculars, and tries to do so as comprehensively as possible, esp. in biblica, liturgica, computistica, hagiographica and grammatica.
