Remnants of commentary, mainly in Irish, but with extensive Latin quotations on the Sermon on the Mount according to St. Matthew. Transcribed and edited with translation and notes from MS London, Lambeth Palace Fragments 1229 (ff. 7, 8). Text dated roughly to ca. 725.
Discusses codicological and palaeographical features of first twelve leaves of MS (containing the Annals of Tigernach), which are of different provenance than rest of MS, and whose ‘scribal habits’ are similar to continental MSS.
Suggests the presence of a ‘connector’ particle (a neuter pronominal form *ed) as an explanation for non-lenition following certain preverbs in compound verbs. Also considers the derivation of certain absolute endings of simple verbs from verb + *ed.
