Bardic Database The Bardic Poetry Project Director: Professor Damian McManus e-mail The ‘Bardic Poetry’ project was one of six projects for which the departments of History (Modern and Medieval), English and Irish in Trinity College, Dublin, secured funding from the Higher Education Authority’s ‘Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions’ (PRTLI), Cycles i and iii. The aim of the project was to transcribe to disk all unpublished Bardic poems (of which there are approximately six hundred) held in Irish libraries. The funding enabled the Irish department to appoint a number of Research Assistants to carry out the work of transcription. The assistants, Dr Eoghan Ó Raghallaigh, Ms Catherine Saunders and Mr Muiris Ó Raghallaigh, all graduates of the department, were appointed on contracts of varying duration, and worked under the director. Dr Ó Raghallaigh was with the project from beginning to end and worked closely with the director, checking and rechecking all transcribed texts. From the beginning the plan was to bring together this corpus of texts and Dr Katharine Simms’s Bardic Poetry Database (now hosted on the website of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), thus providing scholars in this area with a very efficient research tool. The published corpus of poems, amounting to approximately one thousand and four hundred, could not be ignored in this enterprise and so it was decided by the team working on the project to include this material as well. The task of retrieving these texts, both published and unpublished, was the first stage and this has now been completed. With the cooperation of the DIAS School of Celtic Studies, we are now moving on to the next stage, namely the insertion of this material into the Bardic Poetry Database. The combination of the two will enable fine-tune searches by poet, patron, period, location, date, topic and motif, with immediate retrieval of relevant text as well as the ability to search for individual words, personal names, place-names, phrases, letter-sequences, rhyming patterns, key words in motifs and all kinds of data relevant to the linguist. It will bring Bardic Poetry into the digital era and will, hopefully, inspire young scholars to take up the essential task of editing and elucidating this rich literary heritage. Five hundred of the six hundred unpublished poems have now been published in 'A Bardic Miscellany.' This website also hosts a full alphabetic list of all poems retrieved by the project together with their place of publication or manuscript source, and all poems published in the 'Miscellany.' Other material, such as the full complement of quotations in the Irish grammatical tracts, both published and unpublished, is also available (see below).

Bunachar an Dána Dhírigh Tionscadal an Bhunachair: Filíocht na mBard Stiúrthóir: An tOllamh Damian McManus r-phost Bhí tionscadal Fhilíocht na mBard ar cheann de sé thionscadal ar éirigh leis na Ranna Staire (Luath agus Meánaoise), Béarla agus Gaeilge i gColáiste na Tríonóide maoiniú a fháil dóibh ó 'Chlár um Thaighde in Institiúidí Tríú Leibhéal' (PRTLI) de chuid an Údaráis um Ardoideachas (PRTLI), Timthriall i agus iii. Bhí sé d'aidhm ag an tionscadal gach dán de chuid na mBard nach raibh i gcló cheana (thart ar 600 ar fad) atá ar coinneáil i leabharlanna in Éirinn a thrasscríobh. Lig an maoiniú seo do Roinn na Gaeilge líon áirithe Cúntóirí Taighde a cheapadh leis an trasscríobh a chur i gcrích. Ceapadh na cúntóirí, Dr Eoghan Ó Raghallaigh, Catherine Saunders agus Muiris Ó Raghallaigh, ar céimithe de chuid na Roinne iad ar fad, ar feadh achair éagsúla ama, agus chuaigh siad chun oibre faoin stiúrthóir. Bhí an Dr Ó Raghallaigh ag obair ar an tionscadal ó thús go deireadh, agus é féin agus an stiúrthóir ag obair as lámha a chéile, ag seiceáil agus ag athsheiceáil na dtéacsanna trasscríofa. Ó thús, bhí sé mar chuid den phlean an corpas seo téacsanna agus Bunachar Fhilíocht na Scol a chruthaigh Dr Katharine Simms (atá anois ar fáil ar shuíomh gréasáin Insitiúid Ardléinn Bhaile Átha Cliath, nó DIAS) a thabhairt le chéile, sa chaoi is go mbeadh uirlis taighde den scoth á cur ar fáil do scoláirí san réimse seo. Ní fhéadfaí neamhaird a dhéanamh den chorpas foilsithe de dhánta, a bhfuil thart ar míle ceithre chéad dán ann, sa bhfiontar seo agus chinn an fhoireann a bhí ag obair ar an tionscadal an t-ábhar seo a chur san áireamh freisin. B'é bailiú le chéile na dtéacsanna seo, foilsithe agus gan foilsiú, an chéad chéim agus tá sé sin curtha i gcrích anois. Le comhoibriú ó Scoil an Léinn Cheiltigh sa DIAS, bhrúigh muid ar aghaidh chuig an gcéad chéim eile, is é sin an t-ábhar seo a ionchur i mBunachar Fhilíocht na Scol. Trí an dá rud a thabhairt le chéile, is féidir amach anseo cuardach sonrúil a dhéanamh de réir file, pátrún, ré, áit, dáta, ábhar nó móitíf, agus teacht láithreach ar an téacs cuí, chomh maith le bheith ábalta focail ar leith a chuardach, nó ainmneacha, logainmneacha, leaganacha cainte, sraitheanna litreacha, patrúin rithime, eochairfhocail i móitífeanna agus gach cineál sonra a mbeadh suim ag an teangeolaí ann. Tabharfar isteach sa ré digiteach Filíocht na mBard agus tá súil againn go spreagfar scoláirí óga le tabhairt faoin saothar riachtanach leis an oidhreacht shaibhir litríochta seo a chur in eagar agus a mhíniú. Ullmhaíodh freisin cúig chéad den sé chéad dán nach raibh foilsithe cheana lena gcur i gcló, agus tá siad i gcló anois sa leabhar 'A Bardic Miscellany.' Tá liosta aibítreach de na dánta ar fad a bailíodh faoin tionscadal ar an suíomh seo chomh maith, maraon leis an áit ar foilsíodh iad nó an foinse lámhscríbhinne, agus liosta na ndánta ar fad atá sa leabhar. Tá ábhar eile ar fáil leis, .i. na solaoidí as na tráchtais ghramadaí (féach thíos).
