The Martyrology of Gorman

Stokes’s bilingual edition: the martyrology below is given in the Irish verse followed by his English verse translation and notes. The Irish front matter — Mícheál Ó Cléirigh’s 1633 attestation and Gorman’s own preface — is here rendered into English; the martyrology itself appears in Stokes’s facing translation.

The Attestation of the Translators of St Anthony’s College, Louvain #

We testify that we have read the old books from which the poor friar Mícheál Ó Cléirigh wrote this Félire of Uí Ghormáin, and that its contents are given entire — both body-text and margins (only what was not turned into Irish among them being excepted) — in the copy which the same friar wrote from the aforementioned old books, and that we have never seen a book of its kind fuller or more complete than it. In witness whereof we have set our hands to it. In the convent of Donegal, 18 August 1633.

Fearfeasa Ó Maolchonaire (Fearfasa O’Mulconry). Cú Choigcríche Ó Cléirigh (Cucogry O’Clery).

¹ i.e. preface, glosses and epilogue.

Gorman’s Preface [Remráid] #

This is the place in which this Félire was made — Cnoc na n-Apstal, “the Hill of the Apostles”, in Louth. Ruaidhrí Ua Conchobhair was king of Ireland, Gelasius¹ was successor of Patrick,² and Aedh Ua Caillaidhe was bishop of Oriel at the time of its making. Mael-Maire Ua Gormáin, abbot of the aforementioned Hill, made it. And this is what impelled him to make it: to ask heaven for himself and for everyone who would read it through, because of the fewness of the saints of Ireland that Aengus brought into his Félire, and because of the multitude of the saints of the world besides for whom the Church left an order of observance which he left out — and many of those whom she did give are not commemorated by the Church on the days on which he arranged their feast. And this is what certainly impelled him to it (as we have declared): his finding the Martyrology of Tallaght of Maelruain, from which he made his Félire, in that fashion.

In the name of almighty God and of His saints by whom this work was made, let honour be given to Him, and let it be written.³ Let the elders set it against the books,⁴ and let the young ones bestir themselves to my memorial.

If defects and omissions are found in it, let the learned correct them and they will deserve thanks; but let them not spoil the course of the poem.⁵

Let everyone know, moreover, that it is in the old books of the Irish themselves⁶ that we found the knowledge of the feast-days of the Irish saints whom we have brought into this work, and that it is in martyrologies moreover and in calendars that we found the knowledge of the other saints. But much labour and attendance was spent in searching them all.

Rindard mór, moreover, is the name of the metre in which this Félire was made.
