| Popis: | London, British Library, MS Harley 913, a product of the Anglo-Norman colony of Ireland in the first half of the fourteenth century of likely Franciscan origin, consists of a variety of texts, secular and religious, in Latin, French and English. Among them is a riddle in Latin about an incestuous Irish family. Although similar familial conundrums are well attested in medieval literature, such as the Old English riddle about Loth, the Harley riddle has unique features. This paper examines its significance in the context of Anglo-Norman and Gaelic relations in medieval Ireland.
