The "Experts" Exchange NotesEven in the documented history of Ireland, there is evidence of the sharing and debates that were used to compare notes, in order to state their case, or create a consensus, in the process of preserving acurate presentation and transmission of history, pedegrees, and genealogy. According to Eugene O'Curry, antiquarian and translator of early Irish Manuscripts, the very nature of the "learned professors" of the day, whether Fili, Ollav, Druid, Seanachie, or however the term might be applied, would lose their rank and livelyhood if found lacking in authority, and were expected to follow legal guidelines in schooling requirements and years of knowledge, to maintain the truthfulness of their material -- a key factor in the defining of kingships, rights of property, tribal clann affiliation, and position in society. We read that one aspect of this was the annual meeting under patronage of the high king of Tara, where the lists, ledgers, and annals would be compared and scrutinized aoung peers, for agreement and synchronization of history. As late as the mid 1500s, the value of such records was of significant importance for preserving the lineages of Ireland -- worth 150 milch cows when purchased by Hugh O'Donnel, the chief of Tir Connel. We have such as these to thank for many singular details of our earliest Ireland Ancestors. =welcome>about>help> back(to"start")>(backto"VerbalBeginnings")>Verifications>NEXT |
