Dear all,
I'd like to announce the launch of a new digital resource:
ST GALL PRISCIAN GLOSSES Rijcklof Hofman (transcription), Pádraic Moran (digital edition) http://www.stgallpriscian.ie/
St Gall MS 904 is a copy of Priscian's monumental Institutiones Grammaticae (Foundations of Grammar) written in 851. It contains c. 9,400 marginal and interlinear glosses. About one-third of the glosses are in Old Irish (the remainder in Latin), making the manuscript an important resource for Celticists. It is also a valuable witness for language teaching and scribal culture in the ninth century.
Rijcklof Hofman published about half of the glosses in print in 1996, but now the full text of all of the glosses is available for the first time, online. The digital edition also incorporates the underlying text of Priscian (thanks to http://kaali.linguist.jussieu.fr/CGL/), links to manuscript images (via http://www.e-codices.ch), and other resources.
Comments, criticisms, suggestions especially welcome!
Lege feliciter,
Pádraic
