The Latin grammar by Priscian of Caesarea (written c. AD 526–7) was intensely studied in early medieval Ireland, as witnessed in the ninth-century Irish manuscript St Gall 904, which contains a commentary of more than 9,400 glosses in Latin and Old Irish. This project will make available online the first complete transcription of the glosses, as part of a broader study of its cultural relevance.
