 Manuscript sources Dublin, Royal Irish Academy, MS 23 F 19, 24v, col. 1, line 17–25v col. 2. The MS is described by Wulff as 'a scrapbook of Irish medical tracts from Latin sources' and 'written on beautiful vellum, richly illuminated, with good ink which has scarcely faded, except a few pages which were probably exposed to the weather. The capitals are rubricated. Some are green, which is most unusual in Irish MSS. The scribe's name and the translator's name are lost. The date given is 1352, which, if correct, would establish it as the oldest Irish medical manuscript.' It was at one time in the possession of the Ó Céirín family of Co. Clare. Digital scans of this manuscript are available on the ISOS Project, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, see: http://www.dias.ie/isos/. The foliation given by Wulff differs from that now used in the RIA catalogue and on ISOS: Wulff starts at 24v; the same page is numbered 7v in the RIA catalogue, 25 becomes 8, and so on. Dublin, Royal Irish Academy, MS 23 M 36 (not 24 M 36 as stated by her). I am grateful to Aoibheann Nic Dhonnchadha for this correction. Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS E 4. 1.

CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

The present text represents pp. 1–11 of Irish Texts 5. Footnotes are retained and integrated into the apparatus.

Text has been checked and proofread twice. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Corrections to the text made by the editor to the original text are marked corr sic resp="WW". The apparatus has been constructed from the variants selected by the editor. A fresh collation with the manuscripts was not undertaken, but some unclear variants were checked against the manuscripts. CELT is indebted to Prof. Aoibheann Nic Dhonnchadha for her help in this matter.

The electronic text represents the edited text, to which some normalization, marked sup resp="BF", was applied. Missing silent f was restored, apostrophs were added to such forms as d', 'ga, 'na, na'n. In words with a vowel or s in anlaut, h- and t- were hyphenated off. In the manuscripts, long vowels are indicated only rarely and were left unmarked. Text supplied by the editor is marked sup resp="WW". Where mentioned in the edition, the source for the supplied text is indicated. The hardcopy uses italics to denote expansions; in the digital text ex tags are used instead. The foliation given by Wulff differs from that now used in the RIA catalogue and on ISOS: Wulff starts at 24v; the same page is numbered 7v in the RIA catalogue, 25 becomes 8, and so on.

Quotations are rendered q.

Hyphenation was introduced (see under Normalization.) Soft hyphens are silently removed. Words containing a hard or soft hyphen crossing a page-break or line-break have been placed on the line on which they start.

div0=the whole text; div1=the part; paragraphs are numbered in line with the printed edition, page-breaks are marked pb n=""/; milestones are marked mls unit="MS fo" n=""/.

Dates are standardized in the ISO form yyyy-mm-dd.

Medical and botanical terms, many of which are Latin loanwords (or Latin in the disguise of Irish spelling) have been tagged. In the HTML file, the apothecary symbols for scruple, ounce, dram, the Maltese cross, and recipe are displayed using the font Lucida Sans Unicode, which you will require on your PC for viewing.

 A Latin original has not been found so far; the text extant in MS 23 F 19 is dated 1352, but may have been copied from older sources(?). The text and footnotes are in (Early) Modern Irish. The front matter is in English. Some quotes are in German. One term is in French. Some words and phrases are in Latin or Greco-Latin. medical wounds didactic prose medieval scholarship translation 2011-10-15 Beatrix Färber ed.
