This is a paper +manuscript written by Tadhg Tiorthach O Neachtain in 1745. +It is a complete copy, with copious glosses in Modern Irish, +the more important of which are printed below on pp. 36-43. +At the end O Neachtain has added the following:—'Trí +subhailce diadha: creidhemh, dothchus agus grádh.

They have all been used in constructing a +critical text, the most important variants being given in the +foot-notes. The order followed is in the main that of the Yellow Book of +Lecan.</p> + +<p>There are at least three other manuscripts containing copies of the +Triads. One of them I discovered in the Stowe collection after the text +had been printed off. It is a paper quarto now marked 23. N. 27, +containing on fo. 1<i>a</i>-7<i>b</i> a copy of the Triads, followed on fo. +7<i>b</i>-19<i>a</i> by a glossed copy of the <i>Tecosca Cormaic</i>. It was written in +1714 by Domnall (or Daniel) O Duind mac Eimuinn. Its readings agree +closely with those of N. In § 237, it alone, of all manuscripts, gives +an intelligible reading of a corrupt passage. For <i>cia fochertar +im-muir, cia berthair hi tech fo glass dodeime a tiprait oca mbí</i>,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_vii" id="Page_vii">[Pg vii]</a></span> it +reads: <i>cia focearta im-muir, cia beirthear hi tech fo glass no do +theine, dogeibther occan tiprait</i>, 'though it be thrown into the sea, +though it be put into a house under lock, or into fire, it will be found +at the well.' In § 121 for <i>cerdai</i> it reads <i>cerd</i>; in § 139 it has +<i>rotioc</i> and <i>rotocht</i>; in § 143 for <i>grúss</i> its reading is <i>grís</i>; in +§153 it has <i>aibeuloit</i> for <i>eplet</i>; in § 217 <i>tar a n-éisi</i> for <i>dia +n-éisi</i>; in § 218 <i>lomradh</i>(twice) for <i>lobra</i> and <i>indlighidh</i> for <i>i +n-indligud</i>; in § 219 it has the correct reading <i>éiric</i>, and for +<i>dithechte</i> it reads <i>ditheacht</i>; in § 220 it reads <i>fri aroile</i> for +<i>fria céile</i>; in § 223 after <i>ile</i> it adds <i>imchiana</i>; in § 224 it reads +<i>grís brond .i. galar</i>; in § 229 for <i>meraichne</i> it has <i>mearaigheacht</i>; +in § 235 it has <i>mhamus</i> for <i>mám</i>; in § 236 <i>Maig Hi</i> for <i>Maig Lii</i>; +and for <i>co ndeirgenai in dam de</i> it reads <i>co nderna in dam fria</i>.</p> + +<p>Another copy, written in 1836 by Peter O'Longan, formerly in the +possession of the Earls of Crawford, now belongs to the Rylands Library, +Manchester, where it was found by Professor Strachan, who kindly copied +a page or two for me. It is evidently a very corrupt copy which I have +not thought worth the trouble of collating.</p> + +<p>Lastly, there is in the Advocates' Library a copy in a vellum manuscript +marked Kilbride III. It begins on fo. 9<i>b</i><sup>2</sup> as follows:—'Treching +breath annso. Ceann Eirind Ardmacha.' I hope to collate it before long, +and give some account of it in the next number of this series.</p> + +<p>In all these manuscripts the Triads either follow upon, or precede, or +are incorporated in the collections of maxims and proverbial sayings +known as <i>Tecosca Cormaic</i>, <i>Auraicept Morainn</i>, and <i>Senbríathra +Fíthil</i>, the whole forming a body of early Irish gnomic literature which +deserves editing in its entirety. It is clear, however, that the Triads +do not originally belong to any of these texts. They had a separate +origin, and form a collection by themselves. This is also shown by the +fact that the Book of Leinster, the oldest manuscript containing the +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[Pg viii]</a></span><i>Tecosca Cormaic</i> (pp. 343<i>a</i>-345<i>b</i>), the <i>Senbríathra Fíthail</i> (pp. +345<i>b</i>-346<i>a</i>), and the <i>Bríathra Moraind</i> (pp. 346<i>a</i>-<i>b</i>), does not +include them.</p> + +<p>It is but a small portion of the large number of triads scattered +throughout early Irish literature that has been brought together in our +collection under the title of <i>Trecheng breth Féne</i>, i.e., literally 'a +triadic arrangement of the sayings of Irishmen.' I first drew attention +to the existence of Irish triads in a note on Irish proverbs in my +addition of the <i>Battle of Ventry</i>, p. 85, where a few will be found +quoted. A complete collection of them would fill a small volume, +especially if it were to include those still current among the people of +Ireland, both among Gaelic and English speakers. I must content myself +here with giving a few specimens taken at random from my own +collections:—</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>Three kinds of martyrdom that are counted as a cross to man, +<i>i.e.</i> white martyrdom, green martyrdom, and red +martyrdom.—The Cambray Homily (<i>Thesaurus Palæohibernicus</i>, +<span class="smcap">II.</span>, p. 246).</p> + +<p>Three enemies of the soul: the world, the devil, and an +impious teacher.—Colman maccu Beognae's Alphabet of Piety +(<i>Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie</i>, <span class="smcap">III.</span>, p. 452).</p> + +<p>Three things whereby the devil shows himself in man: by his +face, by his gait, by his speech.—<i>Ib.</i>, p. 453.</p> + +<p>Three profitable labours in the day: praying, working, +reading.—Regula Choluimb Cille (<i>Zeitschr.</i>, <span class="smcap">III.</span>, p. 29).</p> + +<p>Three laymen of Ireland who became monks: Beccan son of +Cula, Mochu son of Lonan, and Enda of Arann.—Notes on the +Félire of Oengus (Henry Bradshaw Society, vol. xxix., p. +112).</p> + +<p>Three chief artisans of Ireland: Tassach with Patrick, +Conlaed with Brigit, and Daig with Ciaran.—<i>Ib.</i>, p. 186.</p> + +<p>Three poets of the world: Homer of the Greeks, Vergil of the +Latins, Ruman of the Gaels.—Book of Leinster, p. 354<i>b</i>.</p> + +<p>The three worst counsels that have been acted on in Ireland +through the advice of saints: the cutting short of Ciaran's<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_ix" id="Page_ix">[Pg ix]</a></span> +life, the banishment of Colum Cille, the expulsion of +Mochuta from Rathen.—Notes on the Félire of Oengus, p. 204, +and Tripartite Life, p. 557.<a name="FNanchor_3_3" id="FNanchor_3_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_3_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a></p> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_3_3" id="Footnote_3_3"></a><a href="#FNanchor_3_3"><span class="label">[3]</span></a> Where for 'wrong stories' read 'wrong counsels' +(<i>sanasa sáeba</i>).

I find no words from the Norse language in the Triads, +or, if there are any, they have escaped me; but there are two distinct +references to the Viking age. In § <a href="#i232">232</a>, a Viking in his hauberk (<i>Gall +ina lúirig</i>) is mentioned as one of three that are hardest to talk to; +and, in § <a href="#i44">44</a>, Bangor in Co. Down is called unlucky or unfortunate, no +doubt, as the gloss says, because of the repeated plunderings and +destruction of its monastery by the Norse during the early part of the +ninth century (<span class="smcap">a.d.</span> 823, 824).<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_xii" id="Page_xii">[Pg xii]</a></span></p> + +<p>In endeavouring to trace the origin of the Triad as a form of literary +composition among the Irish, one must remember that it is but one of +several similar enumerative sayings common in Irish literature.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at https://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> |
