A few years ago I had the good fortune to work on the project De Finibus: Christian Representations of the Afterlife in Medieval Ireland in University College Cork.
The 2-volume project handbook was published in 2014 as The End and Beyond: Medieval Irish Eschatology (available from Oxbow).
Contributions
‘The Second Vision of Adomnán’, in The End and Beyond: Medieval Irish Eschatology, ed. J. Carey, et al. (Aberystwyth: Celtic Studies Publications), 647-81. [edition and translation]
In this article I provide a new, semi-diplomatic edition and translation of this Middle Irish text from two manuscripts and discuss some difficult features in it, such as the prognostication with which it opens.
Second Vision of Adomnán
‘The Old English Account of the Seven Heavens’, in The End and Beyond: Medieval Irish Eschatology, 285-306. [edition and translation]
In this article I provide an edition and translation of this Old English text, discuss its themes, and place it in the context of related literature.
Old English Seven Heavens
I compiled a comprehensive bibliography for this project, which is freely available here.
