Description

Abstract (cited)

The medieval Irish cosmological treatise In tengua bithnua, a work evidently based on a lost apocalypse, is structured as an exposition of the six days of creation. Source analysis indicates that this structure is a secondary feature of the text, and that the creatures and natural phenomena arranged within it reflect the intellectual culture of the British Isles in the seventh and eighth centuries.
