3. The triptych until the 1930s was only known to modern scholars in fragmentary form from the same manuscript as the First Recension of the Tain B6 Cüailnge, the Leborna hUidre, ca. 1100. A complete version was found in the later medieval Yellow Book of Lecan manuscript. The edition used here is Bergin and Best, “Tochmarc Etaine,” pp. 137–96. As discussed there, the early Celticist Rudolf Thur ne y s en placed the story’s core linguistics in the ninth century, a date related to fragmentary references to elements of it in other texts, but called its current version a late eleventh-century retelling.
