Nic Chárthaigh, Deirdre, “Neart Banbha 'ga barúnaibh: dán molta ar Phádraigín Mac Muiris”, Ériu 70 (2020): 41–72.
- journal article
This article presents an edition of Neart Banbha 'ga barúnaibh, a praise poem on a certain Patrick Fitzmaurice, Baron of Lixnaw. Although it is unclear when it was composed, since neither the poet nor the honorand can be identified with certainty, a fifteenth-century date is suggested. It is one of a small number of extant poems in casbhairdne, brúilingeacht, and is of interest for the light it sheds on aspects of that rare metrical form. It also contains some linguistic features that are not otherwise attested. A creative expression of the enduring trope that nature acts in sympathy with the rightful ruler (fír flaithemon), the poem bears witness both to the acculturation of the Anglo-Normans and to their pride in their own distinct identity. It is edited here for the first time, from Stonyhurst College MS A II 20, II b.
Dán adhmholta é Neart Banbha 'ga barúnaibh ar Phádraigín Mac Muiris (3e; 15f; 18a), duine de bharúin Leic Snámha i mbarúntacht Chlann Mhuiris in iarthuaisceart Chiarraí. Tá comhthéacs an dáin doiléir—ní fios cé go díreach a chum, cathain a cumadh é, ná cé acu Pádraigín Mac Muiris atá á mholadh ann. Déantar iarracht na ceisteanna sin a fhuascailt anseo. Sampla gléineach é an dán den fhorbairt a rinne na filí clasaiceacha ar théama seanbhunaithe na fíréantachta le ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar athchultúrú agus ar fhéiniúlacht shainiúil na nAngla-Normannach.
