The Early Irish Glossaries Project is working on new print editions of Sanas Cormaic (Cormac's glossary), O'Mulconry's glossary, Dúil Dromma Cetta and related texts. These were compiled in Ireland from the eighth century, and are important for our understanding of early Irish literary and language studies. The online Early Irish Glossaries Database provides a range of supplementary resources.
Creation of a bibliographical database of Illustrated travel accounts on Ireland up to 1850. The database will focus on the images contained in the travel books.
A database of sources, archival and printed, for the study of landed estates and country houses circa 1700-1914. Phase I covering the Province of Connacht complete, work ongoing on Phase II the Province of Munster.
Create four model digital editions: a weekly periodical, the Dublin Penny Journal (1832-36); the correspondence of the painter James Barry; a unique collection of songbooks and popular literature from a farmhouse in County Down; a manuscript medieval statute book from Göttingen.
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.
The aim of this project is to collect the complete poetical, musical and prose works of Thomas Moore (1779-1852) in the form of an hypermedia archive, publishable in pilot form on the Web. Like a scholarly printed edition the archive will establish reliable texts and annotation based on principles of scholarly editing, but it will also provide a rich network of interconnected electronic materials.
