[FR] Dùil Dromna Ceta et le Glossaire de Cormac
Le glossaire du Dùil Dromna Ceta révèle des étapes dans le développement des articles qui sont antérieures aux articles tels qu’ils se trouvent dans le glossaire de Cormac. C’est donc un témoin privilégié pour éclairer l’élaboration de ce dernier glossaire.
[EN] The value of Dúil Dromma Ceta for the study of Cormac’s Glossary lies in the fact that it can reveals stages in the development of glossary entries which predates the forms of entries attested in Cormac itself. DDC therefore is a valuable witness to the developement of Cormac’s Glossary.

abstract:
The Irish hymn Precamur patrem does not draw on hymns of Venantius Fortunatus; rather prallels in Precamur patrem and Fortunatus’s hymns occur because both draw on Jerome’s letters. This strengthens the case for Columbanus’s authorship of the hymn while demolishing the evidence for the transmission of Fortunatus’s hymns from Poitiers to early medieval Ireland.

[FR} Amra Con Roí : analyse, édition, traduction.
Amra Con Roí, ou «l’éloge de Cú Roi », est l’une des œuvres archaïques en vieil-irlandais qui ont rarement été éditées. Amra Con Roí est à la source même de la tradition irlandaise : on y trouve le reflet des relations entre Ulaid et Erainn, donc une situation antérieure à l’arrivée des Gaels. L’esthétique du poème et ses traditions ethniques permettent de comprendre pourquoi il a influencé tant de générations de poètes et de seigneurs — car il se fonde essentiellement sur le thème des rapports ancestraux entre ces deux classes. C’est pourquoi il se présente comme un dānastuti, une louange de la générosité du seigneur. Ce type de poème, indigène et traditionnel, a précédé les mètres syllabiques nouveaux introduits en Irlande aux VIe-VIIe siècles.
[EN] Amra Con Roi, or the Eulogy of Cú Roi, is one of several important compositions in archaic Old Irish, which have received scant editorial attention. The poem stands at the very fountainhead of the tradition, reflecting the relations of the Ulaid with the Érainn and hence a pre-Gaelic state of affairs. From its aesthetic character and ethnic traditions we get a clear sense why it should have impressed so many generations of poets and patrons — for it is built essentially upon the age-old relationship between these two classes. Hence the dānastuti in praise of the patron’s munificence. The type of poetic artefact, native and traditional, which Amra Con Roi represents, held precedence over the new syllabic modes introduced in Ireland in the sixth-seventh centuries.

[FR] Descriptions conventionnelles du cheval dans le Cycle d'Ulster.
La description normative du cheval chez Isidore de Séville est proposée comme modèle de l'organisation et du contenu du portrait de l'attelage qui figure dans le topos étendu du guerrier qui s'avance dans le cycle épique des Ultoniens. L'origine des traits stylistiques de la suite d'adjectifs enchaînée, toutefois, est à chercher dans la tradition indigène et, vraisemblablement, orale. L'article se termine par un glossaire de 150 adjectifs recueillis dans 15 textes typiques.
[EN] Isidore of Seville’s normative description of the horse is posited as an antecedent for the organization and content of the portrayal of the team of horses that figures in the larger topos of the approaching warrior in the Ulster cycle of epic texts. Stylistic features of the enchained sequence of adjectives, however, have their origin in the native, most likely oral, tradition. The article concludes with a glossary of 150 adjectives from 15 typical texts.
