Содержимое
[ редактировать ]Set several hundred years after the death of Finn mac Cumaill, the frame story follows two aged Irish heroes as they travel Ireland with a newly arrived Saint Patrick.[2][3] The pagans are Caílte mac Rónáin, Finn's nephew, and Oisín, Finn's son, both members of the famous warrior band, the fianna.[2] Для большей части повествования Caílte является более важным информатором из них, охватывающий Патрика с рассказами о Финне и его людях и объясняет имена мест, с которыми они сталкиваются в манере повествований Диндсенч . Многие из аллюзий, сделанных в тексте, связаны с Finn Mac Cumaill.
The stories reiterate the greatness of Finn and his departed age of heroes, often focusing on the rivalry between Finn's family and that of his enemy Goll mac Morna, which threatened the stability of the island. Other stories record the Fianna's relationship with the Otherworld and the Tuatha Dé Danann, while those involving Patrick often stress the importance of integrating the values and culture of pre-Christian Ireland with the new ways of the Church. Some of the individual tales may predate their inclusion in Acallam na Senórach, though the authors adapted them with an eye towards narrative unity.[4] Many of the tales within Acallam na Senórach are told through lore and the passing down of traditional stories.
Acallam na Senórach survives in five late manuscripts. Three are from the 15th century: Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Laud Misc. 610; Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Rawlinson B 487; and the Book of Lismore. The fourth is Dublin, University College, OFM-A4 (what Stokes called the Franciscan manuscript, formerly kept at Killiney), which dates to the 16th century.[a][5][6] The fifth witness is a copy of OFM-A4, namely Dublin, University College, OFM-A20(a).
Editions and translations
[edit]The work was edited, with an accompanying English translation entitled Colloquy with the Ancients by Standish O'Grady (1892), using the Book of Lismore version as the base text.[7]
Whitley Stokes later printed an edition of Acallamh na Seanórach in Irische Texte IV, using the Laud Misc. 610 as base and drawing on Rawlinson B. 487, Book of Lismore, and OFM-A4.[5] Stokes also provided a partial translation of the work to complement O'Grady's translation, filling the lacunae in the Book of Lismore.[8]
The first complete English translation was that of Ann Dooley and Harry Roe, Tales of the Elders of Ireland, published by Oxford University Press in 1999.[9] The translation provides information of how the tale offers many subtle references to the political scene of the era of the tale. This translation also informs the readers that St. Patrick is an allegory for the impact of Christian faith on Irish culture. Maurice Harmon (2009) published another translation, entitled The Dialogue of the Ancients of Ireland.[10]
Other related Acallam texts are:
1) Agallamh na Senórach, or the 'Reeves Agallamh' (RIA MS 24 P 5 (93), the only extant copy formerly owned by Bishop Reeves. This is "[a] different Agallamh from any that were hitherto known" according to Douglas Hyde (1920).[11] It was edited by Nessa Ní Shéaghdha, 1942-45 in 3 vols.[12] There is currently no published English translation.
2) Acallam Bec, or the 'Small Acallam'. This is preserved in the fifteenth-century Book of Lismore only. A partial edition was done by Douglas Hyde.[13]
Adaptations
[edit]Composer Tarik O'Regan has adapted the narrative into a one-hour musical setting for solo guitar and chorus, performed under the title Acallam na Senórach.[14] The work was premiered on 23 November 2010 in Dublin by the National Chamber Choir of Ireland and Stewart French (guitar) under the direction of Paul Hillier.[15] The musical is made up of two parts which include a Prologue, Epilogue, and guitar interludes.
