Kirk-Ó Broin glossary
Incoming data
Séamus Ó Broin’s 18th-century copy of Robert Kirk’s Gaelic glossary, which was first found at the end of the Gaelic Bible (An Bíobla Naomhtha, published in 1690). Séamus Ó Broin, a scribe based in Cork, copied this glossary into BL, Egerton 158 and made several additions in Irish. As in the original, the entries are grouped alphabetically under their initial letter (A, B, C., etc.), though no order is apparent within each group.
