Le glossaire du Dùil Dromna Ceta révèle des étapes dans le développement des articles qui sont antérieures aux articles tels qu’ils se trouvent dans le glossaire de Cormac. C’est donc un témoin privilégié pour éclairer l’élaboration de ce dernier glossaire.

While the Irish knowledge of Greek in the early Middle Ages has been much debated, the evidence of Irish language texts has been largely ignored. Early Irish glossaries (O'Mulconry's Glossary, Sanas Cormaic, Dúil Dromma Cetta) cite at least 190 Greek words, and this presents an opportunity to study some sources for Greek available in Ireland. This article looks at the evidence of the glossaries for the pronunciation of Greek in particular. In doing so, it aims to clarify the extent to which Greek in Ireland was, in Zimmer's words, 'a living speech'.
