Congratulations to Gaëlle Clion who successfully defended her thesis today:
'Mar bís coindeall a láim doill: Knowledge, inspiration, and Irish poetics through the lens of Irish and Continental defences of poetry'.
Really happy to have this article out in print officially!! All Acallam enthusiasts will be interested in it, I hope 👀 This article brings important new things to light regarding the textual and manuscript transmission of Acallam / Agallamh texts..!
The 2nd major contribution to our rethinking of the Acallam's transmission - comhghairdeas leat @ninacnock.bsky.social! A huge moment in the study of this work!
