Abstract
This article presents a philological study of a hitherto unpublished minor late medieval Irish glossary. The text’s brevity and obscure location in a sixteenth-century legal miscellany likely contributed to it being almost entirely disregarded by scholarship. Although brief, the glossary contains some citations from unknown sources and some rarely attested vocabulary. It is one of several minor glossaries, typically written in the margins, on vellum off-cuts or on inserted vellum slips, that have not yet been treated in full. This article intends to draw attention to this body of material by providing an edition and translation of one such glossary.
