The project Ireland and Carolingian Brittany: Texts and Transmission (IrCaBriTT) is funded by the Laureate Awards Scheme of the Irish Research Council and led by Dr Jacopo Bisagni (Classics, NUI Galway).
The IrCaBriTT project explores the intellectual exchanges between Ireland, Brittany and Francia during the Carolingian age (c. AD 750–1000). More specifically, one of the project's main aims is to assess the impact of the literary and scholarly heritage of early Christian Ireland on the shaping of textual and cultural identity among the intellectual élite of medieval Brittany, a country situated on the frontier between the Insular world and the European mainland.
