Abstract (cited)
The essay begins with an Introduction to the history of the Latin language, computus, and related disciplines in Antiquity before knowledge of the subjects among the Irish; it proceeds with Part I, three Hiberno-Latin computistic texts, a note about the introduction of computus among the Irish, analysis of the beginning of Cummian’s Letter of 633 to Ségéne and Béccán, and an edition, translation, and analysis of the preliminaries and dating clause of the Oxford computus of 658; it proceeds with Part II, a survey of Computistic Phenomena in Hiberno-Latin Literature under twenty-three headings, considering texts from the fifth century to the twelfth; it ends with a Conclusion.
