Anotace
Irish is the oldest literary language in Europe north of the Alps. It can boast of a continuous written record from at least the eighth century, including glosses to Latin manuscripts, a sophisticated poetic tradition and, preserved in manuscripts since the twelfth century, also a large corpus of narrative literature of native provenance.
As a continuation of Old Irish II, Old Irish III focuses on more advanced features of Old Irish grammar with some reference to later developments. Samples of original texts will be translated and analyzed.
Course materials will be provided in electronic form.
