Cornwall (England : County)
[18] Madoc and Madan are the same name; _oc_ and _an_
are diminutives. The real name was Aed. It became
Mo-aedoc. _Mo_ is a term of endearment--“my”--given to
many Irish and Welsh saints.
[19] I must caution the visitor against the blunders that
crowd the pages of a little local guide to Golant.
Amongst other misstatements is this, that the capitals
are Norman and the arches of Moorish design. The
four-centred arch is quite common in all third-pointed
work.
[20] Reprinted in Preb. HINGESTON-RANDOLPH’S _Registers of
Bishop Grandisson_. Exeter, 1897, p. 608.
[21] The arch over door and window is decisive against
sixth-century work. All the earliest Irish churches
have a stone slab thrown across from the jambs, and no
arch with key.
[22] The church without, as outside of the camp.
[23] Not Witherne in Galway, nor Ty Gwyn âr Daf. See Mrs.
DAWSON’S article in _Archæol. Cambr._, 1898.

Manners and Customs of the Ancient Irish_, 1873, i. p.

Brittany is by DOM PLAINE, _La Colonisation de
l’Armorique par les Bretons insulaires_. Paris:
Picard, 1899. See also LOTH (M. J.), _Emigration
Bretonne en Armorique_. Rennes, 1883.

Transcriber’s Note:
Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation
in the text. These were left unchanged. Dialect, jargon, obsolete
and alternative spellings were left unchanged.
Words and phrases in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like
this_. The book has both notes and footnotes. The notes were retained
at the end of chapters; footnotes were renumbered sequentially and
moved to the end of the book.
Obvious printing errors, such as backwards or partially printed letters
and punctuation, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of
sentences and abbreviations were added.
