As a primary text in edited translation it is authoritative for what this medieval tract actually says about the ogham letters, not for whether the tract's own claims about the letters' origin are historically accurate, since the Auraicept itself is a much later scholastic composition about an older script. Use it to establish what this specific medieval source records about ogham; a claim about the script's actual earlier historical use needs an epigraphic source instead.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (124 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedGeorge Calder (ed.)PublisherWell-attestedJohn GrantPublication YearWell-attested1917URLWell-attestedhttps://archive.org/details/auraicept00calduoftSource TypeWell-attestedprimary-textAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1George Calder's scholarly edition and translation of the medieval Irish grammatical tract transmitting the ogham letter lists and the Briatharogaim word-oghams.NotesWell-attestedEdition and translation of the medieval Irish grammatical tract that transmits the ogham letter lists, the Briatharogaim (word-oghams) and the elaborate alternative ogham schemes.Claims Backed By This Source (124 claims)This source backs 124 claims across the atlas.
