Editorial principles

Created by encoding transcription from manuscript.

This is a semi-diplomatic transcription, with an accompanying translation.

Abbreviations can be optionally expanded by clicking on them. When an abbreviation is expanded, diacritics are supplied as appropriate, following the standard forms given in the Dictionary of the Irish Language. (For example, 'ní' is given with its appropriate fada in the expansion of fol. 76br a33, even though it appears without its fada in the manuscript itself.)

The only abbreviation which has not been noted in the transcription is the standard superscript 'i', since it appears very frequently. (For example, see fol. 76br, a31, b3, and b4.) This is opposed to less common abbreviations of 'i' (for example, the rounded superscript 'i' on fol. 76br, b23).

Otherwise, each abbreviation has been represented in unicode format. These include:

  • An m-stroke: represented with a combining macron, e.g. 'laīach' on fol. 76br a35
  • A superscript 'a': e.g. 'tᷧth' on fol. 76br b13
  • An 'us' symbol: e.g. 'imarbꝫ' on fol. 76br b6
  • A reversed 'c', meaning 'con': e.g. 'ↄid' on fol. 76br b10
  • A rounded superscript 'i': e.g. 'tͥar' on fol. 76br b20
  • A 'q' with stroke through its descender, representing 'ar': 'gꝗb' on fol. 76br b21
  • The spiritus asper, representing a 'h': represented using a combining breve, not used for any other abbreviation, e.g. 'ot̆a' on fol. 76br b22
  • An 'l' with a suspension stroke, usually representing 'vel': represented with a combining suspension mark, e.g. 'etrl᷃' on fol. 76br b22

Sections numbers have also been provided, which correspond to the section numbers used in Robert Alexander Stewart Macalister's edition of the text: Robert Alexander Stewart Macalister, Lebor Gabála Érenn, Irish Texts Society, 34–35, 39, 41, 44, 5 vols (Dublin: Irish Texts Society, 1938–1956).
