Travelled Tales. Leabhar Sc茅alach Si煤lach II : A Tripartite Seminar to Celebrate the Return of the Book of Lismore to Cork
Thursday, 21 October, 5.00 - 6.00 pm
On-line via MS Teams :
It is exactly ten years since the Book of Lismore visited UCC from Chatsworth in England (some of you may remember that event, entitled 'Leabhar Sc茅alach Si煤lach. The Book of Lismore at 福利1000在线 College Cork', which was organised by Professors M谩ire Herbert and John Carey and the poster for which I have included here: Travelled Tales. Leabhar Sc茅alach Si煤lach 2011). Now, thanks to the Duke of Devonshire Peregrine Cavendish, Professor P谩draig 脫 Mach谩in (Head of the Dept of Modern Irish) and Special Collections in the Boole Library, the manuscript has returned to Cork, this time for good.
It will comprise three 15-minutes talks which will be delivered by Prof. John Carey (HOD Early and Medieval Irish), Dr Kevin Murray (HOS Irish Learning) and Prof. P谩draig 脫 Mach谩in (HOD Modern Irish):
1. John Carey, 鈥楾he Tongues of Men and Angels in the Book of Lismore
2. Kevin Murray, 鈥楾he Book of Lismore and Acallam na Sen贸rach 鈥�
3. P谩draig 脫 Mach谩in, 鈥楾he Book of Lismore: Beyond Digitisation鈥�
The seminar will take place on campus for a limited number of UCC staff and postgrads and simultaneously via MS Teams. The relevant MS Teams link is here: .
