Resumo: Despite modern writers noticing the importance of Premodern historiographical phenomena for a deeper comprehension of both Theory of History and History of Historiography, the Irish contribution to the subject is often left aside. Topics such as the Seanchas Tradition and Medieval Irish Classicism are not well integrated into such historiographical narrative. The Seanchaidh, the Irish Artifex of the Past, for example, is broadly mentioned as not a historian, but a chronicler, antiquary, genealogist, hagiographer or pedigree systematizer. This article addresses these issues and, more specifically, we focus on two Irish narratives produced in 7th century by Muirchú and Tírechán. Since they belong to the world of orality and bilingual literacy of Early Christian Ireland, perhaps their works could be understood as bounded by the Seanchas Tradition and Medieval Irish Classicism, hence, both could be considered as great examples of the producers of History and Historiography at the time.

Tópicos como a tradição Seanchas e o Classicismo Medieval irlandês não estão integrados a esse tipo de narrativa historiográfica. O Seanchaidh, o Artifex irlandês do passado, por exemplo, é frequentemente mencionado como não sendo um historiador, mas, ao invés disso, um cronista, antiquário, genealogista, hagiógrafo ou sistematizador de pedigrees. Neste artigo, tais questões são endereçadas e, de forma mais específica, nos focamos em duas narrativas irlandesas do século VII produzidas por Muirchú e Tírechán. Uma vez que os autores pertencem ao mundo da oralidade e do letramento bilíngue da Early Christian Ireland, talvez suas obras possam ser compreendidas como vinculadas à tradição Seanchas e ao Classicismo Medieval irlandês, podendo, então, serem consideradas como grandes exemplos das produções de História e Historiografia daquele tempo. Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2020-08-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/154810.15848/hh.v13i33.1548História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 13 No. 33 (2020); 197-227História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 13 Núm. 33 (2020); 197-227História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 13 n. 33 (2020); 197-2271983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPenghttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/1548/900Copyright (c) 2020 História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiographyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Dominique2021-01-29T13:27:39Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/1548Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2021-01-29T13:27:39História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false
