Ó Carthaigh (Aodh Ollbharr)

(fl. 12th or 15th century?)

Irish poet about whom little is known. A poem on the rights of Mac Diarmada of Magh Luirg, beg. A-tá sonn sochar na ríogh, is attributed to him, with the description ollamh of Crúachan, as is one beg. Tosach féile fairsinge, addressed to Tomaltach Mac Diarmada, although the latter may actually be the work of Torna Ó Maoil Chonaire. The evidence, slight as it is, might place him in 15th-century(?) Connacht and point to affiliations with the Meic Dhiarmada. An older suggestion is that he is to be identified with an earlier poet, the Aed ua Carthaig to whom the dinnshenchas poem on Mide is attributed in the Book of Leinster. This would fit in with the annnalistic evidence for Uí Carthaig ollamha of Connacht in the 11th and 12th centuries.

Irish poem. In Dobb’s summary of the text, the poem “tells a story about Mulling and his kinsman Muiccin of Maighin. Muiccin is in the book of saints in LL, Lecan, BB, and elsewhere. The gist of the poem is as follows. There was a scare of foreign invasion. (Such actually occurred in 638, according to the Four Masters) Mulling asked Muiccin to hide two-thirds of his books. He hid them in a cave known as Derc Ferna, where they were destroyed by wet. These books were probably the work of years and the handiwork of Mulling himself. It must have been a great blow. No one would blame him if he had cursed Muiccin, but when this latter implored pardon, Mulling, with real saintliness, forgave him.”
