Celtic and Scottish Studies Seminar Series: Peadar Ó Muircheartaigh In brief Date - 15 March 2024 Venue - Online Speaker - Peadar Ó Muircheartaigh Title - A Viking in Dublin: Grímur Thorkelin and the search for Danish antiquity in Ireland, 1789 Email Neill Martin for joining details About the event This week, our colleague Dr Peadar Ó Muircheartaigh will deliver a seminar that takes us into the intersection of the worlds of Gaelic and Nordic antiquarianism in the 18th century. The talk will focus on Icelandic-Danish antiquarian Grímur Thorkelin, who was commissioned by the King of Denmark to collect and investigate Danish antiquities in Britain and Ireland in the period 1786-1791. His brief trip to Dublin, however, brought him into the realm of Gaelic antiquities and resulted in the preservation of a number of important Irish manuscripts. How to join Joining a seminar is free, and everyone is welcome. No booking is required. All seminars take place online fortnightly on Fridays from 13.00 to 14.00.
