- journal article
This article provides a transcription and translation of the fragment of medieval Irish legal material found on the strip of vellum which comprises the entirety of British Library MS Egerton 88, f. 35r. Only the first section of the legal material on this strip of vellum appears in the Corpus iuris Hibernici (1531.25-28) and the Brehon Law transcripts (O'Curry 1851: 2429); the vellum is so badly degraded that little else is visible to the naked eye. However, with the assistance of an ultraviolet light, more of the text can be read. The passage concerns an aspect of the provision of legal protection by members of some of the lay, poetic, and ecclesiastical grades.
