rneysen, Indices to the Irish words treated in Zeuss (Leipzig, 1881); E. Windisch published the first grammar of Old Irish in 1879 (trans. by N. Moore, Pitt Press, 1882), but Windisch's treatment of the verb was rendered obsolete by the discovery of the laws of the Irish accent by H. Zimmer, _Keltische Studien_ (Berlin, 1884), and R. Thurneysen, _Revue celtique_, vi. 309, J. Vendreys, _Grammaire du Vieil-Irlandais_ (Paris, 1908); R. Thurneysen, _Handbuch des Alt-Irischen_ (Heidelberg, 1909). Mention should also be made of J. Strachan, _Selections from the Old Irish Glosses_ (Dublin, 1904); and the same writer's _Old Irish Paradigms_ (Dublin, 1905), _Stories from the Tain_ (Dublin, 1908). See also various papers on the Irish verb in the _Transactions of the London Philological Society_ by Strachan (1895-1902); H. Pedersen, _Aspirationen i Irsk_ (Copenhagen, 1898); C. Sarauw, _Irske Studier_ (Copenhagen, 1901); G.J. Ascoli, _Archivio glottologico italiano_, vols. v. and vi. For the study of Middle Irish--E. Windisch, _Irische Texte mit Worterbuch_ (Leipzig, 1880). (Other volumes in conjunction with W. Stokes.) Editions of texts by W. Stokes, Kuno Meyer and others in the _Revue celtique, Zeitschrift fur celtische Philologie, Eriu_. K. Meyer has issued an exhaustive Mid. Irish glossary (A-D) as a supplement to the _Archiv fur celtische Lexikographie_. The remainder is being published under the auspices of the Royal Irish Academy. The first grammar of Modern Irish was published by Francis Molloy in 1677 at Rome under the title of _Grammatica Latino-Hibernica_. Molloy was followed by Jeremiah Curtin in 1728 with a book called _Elements of the Irish Language_. Numerous other grammars were published towards the end of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19th century, but few of them have any value. The more important of them are enumerated in the introduction to O'Donovan's _Grammar_ and to Windisch's _Kurzgefasste irische Grammatik_, and in Pedersen's _Aspirationen i Irsk_, pp. 29-47. We may mention W. Neilson's _Grammar_ (1808) as it is important for the Irish of E. Ulster. But the greatest native grammarian was John O'Donovan, who traversed Ireland in connexion with the Ordnance Survey, and published in 1854 a comprehensive grammar noting the differences between the various dialects. A little grammar published by Molloy in 1867 is instructive on accoun
