Two Notes on Céile Críst from the Commentary to the Félire Óengusso

Abstract

This article examines the glosses in the Commentary to the Félire Óengusso on the rather obscure saint Céile Críst from Kilteel, County Kildare, whose feastday is marked in a number of medieval Irish martyrologies on the third of March. An edition and translation of two previously unedited glosses, one from Oxford, Bodleian Library, Rawlinson B512 (R2) and one from Dublin, UCD-OFM A7 (F), are provided.
