(e)        Irish tonsure – shaved / front of head to ears

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 37: The French bishops and priests in the neighbourhood complained that the Columban monks wore the tonsure differently from the Gaulish clergy. The Columban monks, in accordance with the Irish custom, shaved the front of the head as far as the ears, while the priests of Gaul shaved the top of the head.

 (d)       ^o3 lights in valley

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 43-4: An ancient Irish manuscript of unknown authorship divides the Saints of Ireland into three great orders. The First Order was in the time of St. Patrick. They were 350 in number [...] The Second Order numbered 300 [...] and flourished during the latter half of the sixth century. The Third Order of Saints lived in Ireland for a period which extended for about seventy years from the end of the sixth century. The writer of the manuscript says that "the First Order was most holy, the Second Order holier, and the Third holy. The First glowed like the sun in the fervour of their charity; the Second cast a pale radiance like the moon; the Third shone like the aurora. These Three Orders the blessed Patrick foreknew, enlightened by heavenly wisdom, when in prophetic vision he saw at first all Ireland ablaze, and afterwards only the mountains on fire; and at last saw lamps lit in the valleys."

MS 47472-27, ILA: And the prankquean picked a blank and lit out ^+and the valley lay twinkling.+^ | JJA 44:130 | Nov-Dec 1926 | I.1§1.*2/2.*2 | FW 022.27

(c)        ⁺Ictian sea (Manche)

Ireland and the Making of Britain 177: Thus the Irish, who had subdued the war-like Picts of Britain, not only established their authority over the people of south Britain "Even to the Ictian Sea" (English Channel), as Cormac tells us, but may be considered the chief agency in the expulsion of the Romans themselves from Britain.

Note: Fr. Manche. English channel.

 

(f)            ^bunfruitful^b / servant

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 62: [Story of Riquier, a nobleman and later a saint, and missionaries whom he protected.] He learned from them to love God above all things, and was filled with sorrow for his past life which he had spent as an unfruitful servant.

MS 47482b-22v, LPA: It is a pinch of scribble. ^+Flummery is what I wd call it if you were to ask me ^+my opininon+^ about what ^+them bagses of trash which+^ Mr Shem & the mother has written+^ | JJA 57:046 | May 1924 | III§1A.*2/1D.*2//2A.*2/2C.*2 | FW 420.01

(d)            ^rFlummox & Co

Note: Flummox. To confound or confuse. As an alphabetical entry in a reference book, this would immediately follow 'flummery'. So far, the Dickensian-sounding company has not been traced.

MS 47482b-27v, LPS: It wd be a terrible thing ^+altogether+^ if you were to become ^+flummuxed by becoming+^ a company keeper | JJA 57:056 | May 1924 | III§1A.*2/1D.*2//2A.*2/2C.*2 | FW 438.29

(b)            Ballymore / botherus

Note: A line joins the end of 'Ballymore' to the beginning of 'botherus'. Parody of Irish town name, such as Ballymore Eustace in Kildare. These names derive their prefix from the Irish baile mór, signifying 'large town'. The latter, anglicised as 'boher', means 'way, path'.

 

 

VI.B.3.047

 

(c)        ⁺mon petit (femme)

Note: F. Mon petit. My little one. The masculine form is often used when addressing a woman.

(e)            ^rCoombe

Note: In Dublin the Coombe is an area west of St Patrick's Cathedral, but in the context of the entries that follow it is more likely here to be used in the more general sense of a valley, as in the coombes of Sussex.

VI.B.3.065

(a)            ^r(r+o+y+b+i+v)

Note: An important conceptual note for Patrick and the Druid. The OED lists 'culter' as a variant spelling of 'coulter' = a knife. Thus we have the culture + cult + the cutter (and, of course, the colour) of the Ding-an-sich, as well as a pun on cutting the grass. 'Roygbiv' was the rainbow-colour mnemonic Bloom learned at school (U 13.1075) – note the absence of green in the present instance.

(e)            ⁺Interpreter / – Maam  †

Note: See VI.A.0021.

See CW 'Ireland at the Bar', 197: Several years ago a sensational trial was held in Ireland. In a lonely place in a western province, called Maamtrasna, a murder was committed. Four of five townsmen, all belonging to the ancient tribe of the Joyces, were arrested. The oldest of them, the seventy year old Myles Joyce, was the prime suspect. Public opinion at the time thought him innocent and today considers him a martyr. Neither the old man nor the others accused knew English. The court had to resort to the services of an interpreter. The questioning, conducted through the interpreter, was at times comic and at times tragic. On one side was the excessively ceremonious interpreter, on the other the patriarch of a miserable tribe unused to civilized customs, who seemed stupefied by all the judicial ceremony.[...] The figure of this dumbfounded old man, a remnant of a civilization not ours, deaf and dumb before his judge, is a symbol of the Irish nation at the bar of public opinion.

'Maamtrasna, is anglicised as 'Maam Cross'.

Note: The last stanza of Charles Mangan's "Ode tot the Maguire":

In ashes, warms the hero's heart!

(a)        So Buckley shot the / Russian general but / who shot / B –

Note: Buckley and the Russian General. A story of an Irish soldier in the Crimean War, told by Joyce's father. It later became the basis for the 'Butt and Taff' episode in II.3. See JJII, 398.

"Who struck Buckley." Common phrase used to irritate Irishmen. The story is that an Englishman having struck an Irishman named Buckle, the latter made a great outcry, and one of his friends rushed forth screaming, "Who struck Buckley?" "I did," said the Englishman, preparing for the apparently inevitable combat. "Then," said the ferocious Hibernian, after a careful investigation of the other's thews and sinews, "then, sarve him right."

Beyond the clear blue seas he quelled
The British and the Gallic might."

Ireland: Its Saints and Scholars 83: Dagobert II., King of the Austrasian Franks, was educated at Slane

Note: The reference to Brian O'Lynn is an extrapolation by Joyce, connecting the French song about 'le roi Dagobert qui met sa culotte à l'envers', with the Irish song about the intrepid Brian O'Lynn who liked to wear his breeches 'With the fleshy side out and the woolly side in'.
