The early Irish glossaries Sanas Cormaic (Cormac’s Glossary), O’Mulconry’s Glossary and Dúil Dromma Cetta (the Collection of Druim Cett), as well as the shorter texts Loman and Irsan, are important resources for our understanding of the literary and cultural environment of medieval Ireland. These inter-related texts, compiled from the eighth century, comprise several thousand headwords followed by entries that range from single word explanations to extended narratives running to several pages.
The Early Irish Glossaries Project (EIGP) is a three-year project (2006–2009) based in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at the University of Cambridge. The EIGP will produce two resources: 1) Modern print editions of these glossaries, with translations and detailed commentary. 2) The Early Irish Glossaries Database (available here) of manuscript transcriptions and various resources.
