	School of Celtic Studies - The Heroic Biography of Cormac mac Airt
		Scéla Éogain is Cormaic, the greater part of which recournts the Birth-tale of Cormac mac Airt, and to deal in an introduction with the structure and content of the tale.
		For this reason, it seemed worthwhile to analyse the Birth-tale within the context of the whole cycle of tales about Cormac, and I have relegated my edition and translation of the Old Irish text to Part III: it remains, of course, an important part of the evidence on which the study is based.
		It seemed to me that Cormac's role is already well established in the Old Irish version of his Birth-tale: he is already the ideal king, already a hero, and already son of Art son of Conn and hence presitge ancestor of the Dál Cuinn.
