Description
Excerpt from Cormac''s Glossary Translated and Annotated, by the Late, John O''donovan, L. L. D: Edited, With Notes and Indices
The translation now printed was made by o''donovan many years before his death, and appears never to have been revised by him after he had acquired the wide and accurate knowledge of the ancient Irish language which he possessed when I enjoyed the privilege of knowing and learning from him. This being so, I have thought it my duty to endeavour to print his version in such form as it would have assumed had he lived to publish it. But wherever I have ventured to make any change substantially affecting the meaning, o''donovan''s words have been given either in the text or a foot-note.
