PREFACE
The following note, which appeared with the first instalment
of the edition in Eriu^ Vol. I., will serve to explain the circum-
stances under which this work was undertaken and define its
general scope
:

"
With this number is issued the first instalment of an
edition of the Tin B Cailnge, from the Yellow Book
of Lecan and the Lebor na Huidre, by
J.
Strachan and
J.
G. 0'Keeffe
;
the remainder will appear in successive
issues
;
the pagination will be consecutive, and will be
independent of the rest of the Journal
;
an introduction
will accompany the last instalment. The text of the
YBL. has been taken as the basis because, apart from
orthographical peculiarities, it is, on the whole, superior
to that of the LU., and also because, owing to the character
of the facsimile of the Yellow Book, it is unfortunately
necessary that the important texts which it contains
should be published again directly from the manuscrlpt.
Lacunae have been supplied from the LU., and, for the
sake of completeness, episodes have been added which
are found in the LU. but not in th YBL. From the
LU. have been added all important variants, and enough
of variants of less importance to illustrate the differences
of orthography of the two texts."
The late Professor Strachan's share of responsibility for the
work is confined to the first eighty pages. Though he passed
for press the transcript of the next sixteen pages, his lamented
death occurred before the proofs of that portion were ready.
The transcript of the YBL. with which I furnished him in the
(
vi
)
first instance was revised and edited by him and collated afresh
with the manuscript before being printed ofif. The readings
and passages from LU. are due to him. Though he occasionally
consulted the manuscript, he relied mainly on the lithographic
facsimile.
In a few instances, mostly towards the end, variant readings
from the Book of Leinster version are given. These are
indicated by the letters LL. ; occasionally reference has been
made to Windisch's edition. A table has been appended giving
cross-references to the pages of the LU. text.
In conclusion, I have to record my deep indebtedness to
Professor Kuno Meyer for constant advice and assistance in
the preparation of the last forty-two pages, and to Miss Eleanor
Knott for collating that portion with th'e manuscript. To
Mr. R. I. Best I am indebted for the list of Corrigenda and
Addenda which is given at the end.
