Description
Abstract (cited)

This paper is the first of two that will deal with textual problems within the metrical passage in Fingal Rónáin known as Rónán's lament (FR, 11 168-92, 197-244). After briefly characterising the shortcomings of previous editions of this tale, the paper will address various questions of textual reconstruction and interpretation in quatrains 4 and 5 (11 180-7). As part of the discussion of quatrain 4, §111 of the paper will offer a sketch of the use of the subjunctive mood in subordinate temporal clauses with simultaneous time reference.
