Murray, Kevin (ed.), Revisiting the Cycles of the Kings, Cork Studies in Celtic Literatures, 6, Cork: CSCL, 2022.
abstract:

This collection of essays focuses on the medieval Irish tales which modern scholarship has designated as belonging to the category of literature known as the Cycles of the Kings. The five scholars featured in this volume (Neil Buttimer, Clodagh Downey, Ralph O'Connor, Ken Ó Donnchú and Aogán Ó hIarlaithe) have already made a substantial contribution to our understanding of this body of material. In these studies, all the authors engage to a greater or lesser extent with the concept of the cycle, and with its importance to the study of medieval Irish literature.

Browne, Martin, and Colmán Ó Clabaigh (eds), Households of God: the regular canons and canonesses of St Augustine and Prémontré in medieval Ireland, Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2020.
abstract:
Although the most numerous and widespread of all the religious orders in medieval Ireland, the regular canons and canonesses have been somewhat neglected in Irish historiography. This collection, the proceedings of the 2017 Glenstal History Conference, examines the role of the canonical movement (those who followed the rule of St Augustine) in Ireland from its emergence as an expression of the Vita Apostolica in the twelfth century, through the dissolution of the monasteries in the Tudor period until its eventual disappearance in the early nineteenth century. This volume combines the evidence for the archaeology, architecture and history of the movement with that relating to its cultural, economic, liturgical, intellectual and pastoral activities. Between them, the contributors provide fascinating insights on a neglected aspect of Irish monastic history while situating it in a broader European ecclesial context.

Egeler, Matthias (ed.), Landscape and myth in northwestern Europe, Borders, Boundaries, Landscapes, 2, Turnhout: Brepols, 2019.
abstract:
This volume explores the intersection of landscape and myth in the context of northwestern Atlantic Europe. From the landscapes of literature to the landscape as a lived environment, and from myths about supernatural beings to tales about the mythical roots of kingship, the contributions gathered here each develop their own take on the meanings behind ‘landscape’ and ‘myth’, and thus provide a broad cross-section of how these widely discussed concepts might be understood. Arising from papers delivered at the conference Landscape and Myth in North-Western Europe, held in Munich in April 2016, the volume draws together a wide selection of material ranging from texts and toponyms to maps and archaeological data, and it uses this diversity in method and material to explore the meaning of these terms in medieval Ireland, Wales, and Iceland. In doing so, it provides a broadly inclusive and yet carefully focused discussion of the inescapable and productive intertwining of landscape and myth.

abstract:
This book comprises the results of the workshop »Code-switching in the Medieval classroom«, which was held at Utrecht University on May 29th, 2015. The workshop was part of the research project entitled Bilingualism in Medieval Ireland – language choice as part of intellectual culture.

The stated aim of the research project as well as of this volume is to open up the rich legacy of bilingual texts from particularly Medieval Ireland to a wider academic audience interested in medieval studies, literacy, bilingualism and code-switching. The papers in this volume contribute to both the debates on medieval reception, medieval elite culture and education, as well as the theories on bilingualism and code-switching by studying the nature and function of Irish-Latin and English-Latin code-switching in a number of medieval text corpora, shedding new light on the way in which clergymen blended indigenous language and culture with late Antique Roman culture that was introduced together with Christianity.

abstract:
Late antique and early medieval science is commonly defined by the quadrivium, the four subjects of the seven liberal arts relating to natural science: astronomy, geometry, arithmetic, and music. The seven-fold division of learning was designed in Late Antiquity by authors such as Martianus Capella, and these authors were studied intensively from the Carolingian age onwards. Because these subjects still have currency today, this leads to the anachronistic view that the artes dominated intellectual thought in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Quite the contrary, the artes were an idealized curriculum with limited application in practice. Certainly, the artes do not help in our understanding of the intellectual endeavour between the early fifth and the late eighth centuries. This period was dominated by computus, a calendrical science with the calculation of Easter at its core. Only computus provides a traceable continuation of scientific thought from Late Antiquity to the early Middle Ages. The key questions were the mathematical modeling of the course of the sun through the zodiac (the Julian calendar) and of the moon phases (in various lunar calendars). This volume highlights key episodes in the transmission of calendrical ideas in this crucial period, and therewith helps explaining the transformation of intellectual culture into its new medieval Christian setting.

abstract:
This analysis of the cultivation of the Irish language in urban areas is the result of recent research by both editors and a conference on urban writing practices which was held in UCD Humanities Institute, 23–4 May 2013. The collection of essays raises questions regarding the links between urban life and the development of a modern Irish society. The evidence of emotion in early urban writings at the beginning of the 18th-century queries the writing styles and practices which formed the thought processes of this and subsequent eras in writing and societal norms.The volume opens with a critique of the work of the Ó Neachtain scholarly circle in Dublin in the early 18th century, ranging over topics as varied as the evidence for contact with Swift to the influence of Rabelais (Cathal Ó Háinle, William J. Mahon, Vincent Morley and Lesa Ní Mhunghaile). Proinsias Ó Drisceoil draws on Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework to evaluate Irish/English interaction in Callan, Co. Kilkenny, while Neil Buttimer and Fionntán de Brún analyse the impact of Irish in the public spheres of Cork and Belfast. Breandán Ó Madagáin and Nollaig Ó Muraíle trace the fortunes of Irish west of the Shannon, in Limerick, Galway and Sligo. Liam Mac Mathúna and Regina Uí Chollatáin, editors of the volume, contribute an introductory essay which situates the initial conference’s theme within Léann na Gaeilge, or Irish language studies, in general.

abstract:
Unjustly ignored as a result of a thirteenth-century condemnation, the thought of Johannes Scottus Eriugena (ca. 810-877) has only been subject to critical study in the twentieth century. Now, with the completion of the critical edition of Eriugena’s masterwork - the Periphyseon - the time has come to explore what is arguably the most intriguing and vital theme in his work: creation and nature. In honor of Edouard Jeauneau - Institute Professor at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, University of Toronto and Honorary Research Director at the C.N.R.S. in Paris - to whom the field of Eriugenian studies is enormously indebted, this volume seeks to undertake a serious examination of the centrality of Eriugena’s thought within the Carolingian context, taking into account his Irish heritage, his absorption of Greek thought and his place in Carolingian culture; of Eriugena as a medieval thinker, both his intellectual influences and his impact on later medieval thinkers; and of Eriugena’s reception by modern philosophy, from considerations of philosophical idealism to technology.

abstract:
This tenth volume appearing within the framework of the ÖAW interdisciplinary research-project Fontes epigraphici religionum Celticarum antiquarum increases our understanding of several aspects of the religious traditions handed down by Celtic-speaking populations, from Britain and the Iberian Peninsula to ancient Italy and Dacia, all through the Gauls and the Germaniae. G. BAUCHHENSS corrects some preconceived notions about iconography; F. BURILLO MOZOTA, J. A. ARENAS ESTEBAN and M. P. BURILLO CUADRADO investigate the cultural context of an astronomic platform at Segeda; P. SCHERRER puts the nautae Parisiaci pillar on a new hermeneutical basis; N. GAVRILOVIĆ looks for Celtic speakers in Eastern Europe. J. GORROCHATEGUI, M. C. GONZÁLEZ RODRÍGUEZ, P. LAJOYE offer partly revised readings of several votive inscriptions and divine names while P. Y. LAMBERT, B. RÉMY, X. DELAMARRE analyse theonymical epithets in different ways and N. BECK scrutinizes the relationship between deities and ethnics. P. DE BERNARDO STEMPEL discusses the transformations to be observed in a provincial pantheon from the first Celtic inscriptions to the latest Roman ones; W. SPICKERMANN questions the continuity between Pre-Roman and Romano-Celtic religion; A. HOFENEDER follows the trail of an Old Celtic and later syncretic deity up to the Imperial Roman historical tradition. M. HAINZMANN and P. DE BERNARDO STEMPEL present – with the help of numerous and easily understandable tables – an innovative systematization of the various syncretic phenomena known as interpretatio, whose geographic diversity is pointed out by F. MARCO SIMÓN.

abstract:
In 1998 a major project of the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften was launched for the global collection, analysis, edition, and annotation of antique epigraphic sources on Celtic religion which forms a complement to the analysis of literary sources by G. Dobesch. Since 2000 eleven workshops have taken place, the most recent one of which investigated the motivation of devotees [demarcation against Roman cults, social links with local tradition ?, etc.]. An introduction is followed by 15 contributions on the present state of the corpus F.E.R.C.AN, individuality in Celtic divine names, Celtic and other Indo-European deities, names of humans and gods containing -smer-, divine names derived from toponyms, Gobannos and his namesakes, Celtic theonyms in antique literature and in the Portugese Lusitania, inscriptions, sanctuaries, and monumentalisation in Celtic Hispania, religion and individualisation in Southern Gaul, Baginus and related divine names from Vienne, information on the native civitas of devotees, the cult of Epona in the Central Balkans, an inscription for Mars Campester from Moesia Superior, and on the Celtic bull with triple horns.
