[While I was proofreading, I noticed that there were a couple of
bibliographic abbreviations which I had forgotten to include in the
bibliography. I think I have them all entered now, but if there are
still unexplained abbreviations lurking about, please let me know, and
I will add them.]
--------
Sources and Abbreviations:
Note: In general, citations from original manuscripts (Rawl. B.502,
LL, etc.) are given from the critical editions of those manuscripts in
CGH and elsewhere, and I did not consult the manuscripts themselves.
The only exception to this in the above ancestor table is the Uí
Briúin Seóla genealogy from BB.90b, which I checked against a
microfilm of the original manuscript of BB, in order to verify the
undocumented published versions of that genealogy mentioned above.
ABT = Achau Brenhinoedd a Thywysogion Cymru (late medieval), in EWGT,
pp. 95-110.
AC = Annales Cambriae
AC.a = "A" MS. of AC (Harleian MS. 3859, fo. 190r-193r)
AC.b = "B" MS. of AC (BL MS. Cotton Domitian A.1)
AC.c = "C" MS. of AC (PRO MS. E. 164/1)
For a discussion of the compilation of these annals, see Kathleen
Hughes, Celtic Britain in the Early Middle Ages (Boydell Press,
Woodbridge, Suffolk, 1980), pp. 67-100. The main body of these annals
is contemporary from the year 796 on. The chronology of AC has not
yet been adequately studied, and dates from AC could easily be off by
a few years. MS. "A" was edited by E. Phillimore in "The Annales
Cambriae and Old Welsh Genealogies from Harleian MS. 3859", in Y
Cymmrodor 11 (1890/1) 133-75. All three manuscripts were edited by
John William (ab Ithel) in "Annales Cambriae" (London, 1860, Rolls
Series), but this edition is considered innacurate. (Adequate
published editions of the B and C manuscripts apparently still do not
exist.)
AI = The Annals of Inisfallen (MS. Rawlinson B.503), edited by Seán
Mac Airt (Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1951, reprinted
1977).
AT = "The Annals of Tigernach", edited by Whitley Stokes in Revue
Celtique, vols. 16-18, also available (without English translation) at
the CELT (Corpus of Electronic Texts) website
(http://www.ucc.ie/celt/).
AU = The Annals of Ulster to A.D. 1131, edited by S. Mac Airt and G.
Mac Niocaill (Dublin, 1984), also available (without English
translation) at the CELT (Corpus of Electronic Texts) website
(http://www.ucc.ie/celt/).
BB = The Book of Ballymote. To my knowledge, a critical edition of
the Book of Ballymote has not yet been published, but CGH does give
variant readings from BB for all genealogies which appear either in R
or LL. The numbers cited are the page and column, as cited in CGH,
which is my source for most of the readings from BB given here. The
only case for which I consulted [a microfilm of] BB directly was the
Uí Briúin Seóla pedigree in BB.90b. BB is available on film number
101014 at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. (This
microfilm copy of the original manuscript of BB is a poor one, having
been overexposed by the person doing the filming, but the Uí Briúin
Seóla genealogy in BB.90b is readable.)
BS = Margaret Dobbs, ed., "The Ban-Shenchus", Revue Celtique 47
(1930), 283-339; 48 (1931), 163-234; 49 (1932), 437-489, of which the
last part is an every name index to the first two parts. In citations
from BS, only the page number is given, the volume then being clear
from context. BS is a twelfth century work, existing in both verse and
prose versions, which names a large number of Irish women, along with
their parents, husbands, and children, and is an important primary
source for the identities of the mothers of pre-Norman Irish leaders.
For a detailed description of BS, see Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin, "The
Manuscript Tradition of the Banshenshas", Eriu 33 (1982), 109-135. A
new edition of BS by Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin is forthcoming, but I was
informed by the publisher that it will not be out until the year 2000.
BWG = Bartrum, P. C., Welsh Genealogies, A.D. 300-1400 (8 vols.,
Cardiff, 1974, supplement vol., 1980)
ByA = Bonedd yr Arwyr, in EWGT, pp. 85-94. Exists only in late copies
of a lost manuscript which was believed to have been composed ca.
1400.
ByT = Brut y Tywysogion, a set of annals which are Welsh translations
of Latin annals closely related to the AC manuscripts. My citations
come from the Red Book of Hergest version of ByT (the only version to
which I have access), edited by Thomas Jones (Univ. of Wales Press,
Cardiff, 1955).
CGH = Corpus Genealogiarum Hiberniae, edited by M. A. O'Brien (Dublin,
1962). This book is a critical edition of the genealogies from R, with
variant readings from LL, Lec., and BB, followed by all of the
genealogies of LL which are not in R, with variant readings from Lec.
and BB. Citations from CGH are generally given by showing the
citations from the original manuscript(s) first (taken from the
citations in CGH), followed by the page from CGH in parentheses (in
the form CGH.#, plus the section number from Rw, if the genealogy is
from R). For two reviews of CGH, which also comment on the early
Irish genealogical manuscripts in general, see PNIG, and the review by
Francis John Byrne in Zeitschrift für Celtische Philologie 29
(1962-4), 381-5.
CIIC = R. A. S. Macalister, Corpus Inscriptionum Insularum Celticarum,
(2 vols., Dublin, 1945). (As I did not have access to this source, all
citations to CIIC given here are indirect, taken from citations in
other sources.)
CS = Chronicon Scotorum, edited by W. Hennessy (London, Rolls Series
46, 1866)
DCCD = D. Ó Corráin, "Dál Cais - Church and Dynasty", Eriu 24 (1973),
52-63.
DD = Tomás Ó Cathasaigh, "The Déisi and Dyfed", Éigse 20 (1984), 1-33.
DGD = M. Miller, "Date Guessing and Dyfed", Studia Celtica 12/13
(1977/8), 33-61.
DGP = M. Miller, "Date Guessing and Pedigrees", Studia Celtica 10/11
(1975), 96-109.
DNB = Dictionary of National Biography.
ECMW = V. E. Nash-Williams, Early Christian Monuments of Wales
(Cardiff, 1950). (As I did not have access to this source, all
citations to ECMW given here are indirect, taken from citations in
other sources.)
ED = The Expulsion of the Déisi, in EWGT, p. 4. This Irish story,
generally dated to the middle of the eighth century, includes a
pedigree of the kings of Dyfed in Wales, the earliest version of which
agrees with the Dyfed genealogy in HG.2 for the generations covered in
this ancestor table.
EIHM = Thomas F. O'Rahilly, Early Irish History and Mythology (Dublin,
1946).
EL = David H. Kelley, "The Ancestry of Eve of Leinster", The
Genealogist 1 (1980), 4-27.
EWGT = Early Welsh Genealogical Tracts, edited by P. C. Bartrum
(University of Wales Press, Cardiff, 1966).
GA = Genelaig Albanensium (edited in SHD, pp. 65-6). This includes
five pedigrees of the Dál Riata probably written during the early
eighth century (including the one used here), with additional material
added later (as discussed in SHD). The pedigree used here is that of
Ainfcellach, king of Dál Riata, who died in 719 [AU], probably written
during his lifetime.
GaC = Genealogies from the work generally known as "Hanes Gruffudd ap
Cynan" (actually titled "Historia hen Gruffud vab Kenan vab Iago"), of
which the earliest manuscript is Peniarth MS. 17 (mid-13th century),
in EWGT, pp. 35-37.
GH = Bedwyr L. Jones, "Gwriad's Heritage: Links between Wales and the
Isle of Man in the Early Middle Ages", Transaction of the Honourable
Society of the Cymmrodorion (1990), 29-44.
HG = Genealogies from Harleian MS. 3859, fo. 193r-195r, edited in
EWGT, pp. 9-13 (a copy made ca. 1100 of genealogies compiled probably
between 954 and 988)
IBV = Ireland before the Vikings by Gearóid mac Niocaill (Dublin,
1972). Contains many genealogical tables of the early Irish ruling
families.
IKHK = Francis John Byrne, Irish Kings and High-Kings (St. Martin's
Press, New York, 1973). Appendix II (pp. 280-301) contains
genealogical tables of the major early medieval Irish ruling
dynasties.
IRS = Donnchadh Ó Corráin, "Irish Regnal Succession - A Reappraisal",
Studia Hibernica 11 (1971), 7-39. This includes a detailed discussion
of the kings of Uí Chennselaig.
JC = Jesus College (Oxford) MS. 20, in EWGT, pp. 41-50. The
manuscript itself is from the fourteenth century, but since the latest
individuals mentioned in the manuscript are Llywelyn ap Iorwerth and
some of his contemporaries, its source appears to date from the early
thirteenth century (or perhaps a bit earlier - see the sources cited
in EWGT, p. 41).
LD = Heraldic Visitations of Wales and Part of the Marches, 1586-1613,
by Lewys Dwnn, edited with notes, by Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick
(Llandovery, Wales, 1846, 2 vols.)
Lec. = The Book of Lecan, published in facsimile by the Irish
Manuscripts Commission, with introduction and indexes by Kathleen
Mulchrone (Dublin, 1937). To my knowledge, a critical edition of the
Book of Lecan has not yet been published, but CGH does give variant
reading from Lec. for all genealogies which appear either in R or LL.
The numbers cited are the folio (R=front, V=back) and column as
numbered in the facsimile edition, as cited in CGH (which is my source
for all of the readings from Lec., as I did not consult Lec. directly
for the genealogies given here).
LL = The Book of Leinster (6 vols., Dublin Institute for Advanced
Studies, 1954-83), of which the king lists appear in vol. 1 (ed. Best,
Bergin, and O'Brien, Dublin, 1954) and the genealogies are in vol. 6
(ed. Anne O'Sullivan, Dublin, 1983). The Genealogies from LL also
appeared in CGH, as variant reading from R in those cases where the
genealogy also appeared in R. The numbers cited are the page and
column from the original MS, as edited by O'Brien in CGH, along with
the page number from CGH. (I did not give page numbers from
O'Sullivan's version, as I do not have easy access to that book, but
as the MS page and column are clearly identified in that version, the
references should be easy to locate for anyone using that source.)
MG = Mostyn MS. 117 (last quarter of 13th century), in EWGT, pp.
38-39.
NHI = A New History of Ireland (10 volumes, not yet all published),
especially volume 9: "Maps, Genealogies, Lists", which contains
genealogical tables of the Irish ruling dynasties (many of which were
prepared by Francis John Byrne and are therefore not much different
than the ones in IKHK, although sometimes more detailed, sometimes
less). (Volume 1, which will cover pre-Norman Ireland, the time
period relevant to this ancestor table, has not yet been published, to
my knowledge.)
PF = The History of the Princes ... of Powys Fadog by J. Y. W. Lloyd
(6 vols., London, 1881-7)
PNIG = John V. Kelleher, "The Pre-Norman Irish Genealogies", Irish
Historical Studies 16 (1969), 138-153.
PP = "Pedigrees of the Welsh Tribal Patriarchs" by P. C. Bartrum, in
Nationary Library of Wales Journal, vol. 13, pp. 93-146 and vol. 15,
pp. 157-166. There is a numbered section for each patriarch, and
citations are given by these sections.
R = Genealogies from Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 502, the
earliest surviving manuscript collection of Irish genealogies, now
generally identified as The Book of Glendalough, dated ca. 1130 (but
based in part on genealogies compiled much earlier), the genealogies
of which were edited in CGH (q.v. for more comments).
Rw = The World Wide Web version of R, available at the CELT (Corpus of
Electronic Texts) website (http://www.ucc.ie/celt/). Based on
O'Brien's critical edition in CGH, it gives only the readings from R
(without variants from LL, Lec., BB, as in CGH), but adds convenient
section numbers (not a part of the original MS), and these section
numbers have been used for citations from Rw. The introduction to Rw
on that website also contains an excellent bibliography of early Irish
genealogical works in general.
SFA = Senchus Fer nAlban, edited in SHD, which dates SFA as a tenth
century revision of a seventh century original.
SHD = John Bannerman, Studies in the History of Dalriada (Scottish
Academic Press, Edinburgh and London, 1974).
SW = Patrick Sims-Williams, "Historical Need and Literary Narrative: a
Caveat from Ninth Century Wales", The Welsh History Review 17 (1994),
1-40.
TYP = Trioedd Ynys Prydein (The Welsh Triads), edited by Rachel
Bromwich (University of Wales Press, Cardiff, 1978).
WUD = Margaret E. Dobbs, "Women of the Uí Dunlainge of Leinster", The
Irish Genealogist 1 (1940), 196-206. This article gives the text and
translation of an Irish genealogical tract which was probably
originally written in the first half of the eighth century (with later
additions), giving the ancestry of the wives of several kings of
Leinster (Laigin). The original manuscript sources were LL.316a,
Lec.91Rb, BB.133a, and D.2.1 (Royal Irish Academy), 17v and 96, of
which the first three are also edited (in Irish only) in CGH pp.
340-1, and D.2.1 is contained in BS 220-1. For convenience, I have
cited only WUD in cases where this tract is used, unless variations in
the idfferent manuscripts are important, but it should be kept in mind
that the corresponding pages of CGH and BS are also relevant in all
cases where WUD is cited.
