Description
Abstract (cited)
Séumas submitted a PhD thesis at Queen's University Belfast in 1922, entitled An Irish medical tracts Irish medical manuscript of the sixteenth century, containing an edition and translation of TCD MS 1326 (H 3 7) with a table of handwritten medical abbreviations and a glossary, in four volumes, but unfortunately it was never published. This was a huge amount of work undertaken at a time when lexicographical resources were scant, and although there are some errors his supervisors did not pick up on, "Níl saoi gan locht", and it is a very courageous effort to elucidate an elusive and complex topic.
