Abstract

A note on the textual history of Pargys Caillit, the eighteenth-century Manx version of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, arguing that the manuscript copy in Manx Museum MS 188A is in the hand of the lexicographer John Kelly and derives from another, lost copy lent to him by Philip Moore in 1776.
