Irish
Annals Edition Directory |
|
This webpage tabulates
links to the urls where electronic editions and English translations of the
principal Irish Annals may be obtained. The majority of these
editions and translations reside on the invaluable CELT resource website at www.ucc.ie/celt/, but the editions for AR,
MB, and LG have been supplied from diverse websites. Regarding annals, where
the edition or translation is subdivided into two or more files the link-name
indicates the range of years covered, and when this range falls within the
Anno Domini era the limits are based upon the AD synchronisations tabulated
at www.irish-annals.cs.tcd.ie,
with the result that they sometimes differ from the editorial chronology
cited in the editions themselves. For example, the edition
of the Annals of Ulster at the link-name AU_1201-1378_ed will be found to
commence its entries from 1202, the discrepancy arising because the edition’s
AD is advanced by one year at this point. For a different
example, the edition of the Annals of Loch Cé at the link-name
LC_1014-1316_ed will be found to extend over the range 1014–1348, but the
entries there for the years 1317–1348 belong in fact to the Annals of
Connacht that have been silently interpolated into this edition. The edition of MB has been
obtained from the printed edition by D. Murphy, The Annals
of Clonmacnoise … ( In the case of FM,
which has not been synchronised to the other annals, the ranges given in the
link names are the AD ranges of the text itself, but users should be aware
that the chronology of FM is completely unreliable over the entire first
millennium, cf. Mc Carthy, The Irish
Annals (Dublin, 2008), p. 299. For LG the suffix ‘A’
in the link-name refers to redaction A, or R1, and the suffixes vol_1, vol_3
and vol_4 refer to the volume numbers of R.A.S. Macalister’s edition, Lebor Gabála Érenn vols 1–5 (Dublin, 1938–56). The links cited
are to digitised copies of volumes 1, 3 and 4, and, since these volumes
include a parallel English translation no link is given under Translation;
OCR versions of these volumes are also available at the cited links. At
present no online editions of volumes 2 and 5 are known. For the sigla and
titles used see the articles ‘Chronological
synchronisation of the Irish Annals’ and ‘Collation
of the Irish Regnal Canon’. The directory of annals
is arranged according to the taxonomy defined in The Irish Annals ( Clonmacnoise group – AT, CS, AR Cuana group – AU, AI, AB Regnal-canon group – MB, FM |
