Éamann Ó HOrchaidh
Éamann Ó hOrchaidh (fl. 1817) was an Irish scribe and translator. Biography Little is known of Ó hOrchaidh. To date, the only item of his work is a copy of ''Cúirt an Mheán Oíche'' ('the Midnight Court') by the Co. Clare poet, Brian Merriman, composed about 1780. The manuscript containing it is held in Dublin at the library of the Royal Irish Academy, but up to 2018 there was no record of it containing a version of the poem. Its value lies in the fact that it is written in the badly-attested Connacht Irish of County Roscommon rather than the Munster Irish of County Clare. Both dialects are now extinct, with Ó hOrchaidh's manuscript one of the last featuring Connacht orthography and vocabulary and how Irish was pronounced in east Co. Galway and south Co. Roscommon (see Uí Maine), rendering its value quite high. Ó hOrchaidh's version was discovered in 2018 by dialectologist and sociolinguist Professor Brian Ó Curnáin of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Ó hOr ...

Floruit
''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use la, flōruit is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are wills attested by John Jones in 1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)". The term is often used in art history when dating the career ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
