Excerpt from Archivium Hibernicum, or Irish Historical Records, Vol. 3The critical investigation Of_'the earliest mss. Of Keating's History does not bring to light any variants of importance. There are, indeed, the usual variations in marking or omitting accents and signs of aspiration, but even these are fewer than one might expect. There is nothing to show that the language 'of the text of these Acts in the Annals Of Cluain Eidhneach was much more anclent than that in which we now have them. A few archaic spellings such as co for so, m for an, cc for 5, etc., occur in some mss., but scribes contemporary with Keating Often indulged in these to a far greater extent than they do in the present instance. Neither is there in this passage any practical difference between the two classes of mss., those Of the more archaic and those of the more modern type, as distinguished by the Rev. P. S. Dinneen in his Introduction to the second volume - Of Keating's History, p. Xvii. A docu ment like the present, indeed, which consists almost wholly of proper names, does not give much room for grammatical archaisms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
