PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION OF SELECTIONS FROM THE OLD IRISH GLOSSES little
selection has been put together primarily to
meet
the wants
of students in the School of Irish Learning.
The
THIS
arrangement of the glosses calls for some explanation. It has been found that to students, particularly to students
who
are already familiar with the
modern language, the
Irish noun and pronoun present no great difficulties. the other hand, the complicated verbal system is very puzzling to the beginner. This book has, therefore, been so
Old
On
arranged that the student who has mastered the nominal inflexion may learn the verb gradually, tense by tense.
In the notes
much
will
be found that would more properly
be relegated to the grammar. Of recent years, however, much progress has been made in the study of Old Irish grammar, and, as yet, no grammar has appeared in which these recent discoveries have been embodied.
It is
hoped that
the references which are given will lead the student to consult the original authorities. A translation of the Irish may be
found in the Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus. J.S. MANCHESTER, June 16, 1904.
