Language
  • Late Old Irish Middle Irish

  • Stokes (p. 135): “With regard to the Irish glosses which are found between the lines or in the margin of the Leabhar Breacc copy of our hymn [...] I am of the opinion that they are middle-Irish, some of them early middle-Irish, but I can see no evidence that any of them were produced before the eleventh century.” Stokes proceeds to give a number of illustrations.

    Michael Herren, referring to communication with Gearóid Mac Eoin, characterises the glosses as “late Old Irish with early Middle Irish traces of the period ca. 1000 A.D.”
