Abstract

The article examines the work of the Irish historian Geoffrey Keating (1570-1644) 'Foras Feasa ar Éirinn', which narrated the history of ancient and medieval Ireland, as a specific format of memory. The author introduces two terms borrowed from Aleide Assmann - 'active memory' and 'archival memory'. On the basis of the analysis of the Keating's narrative the author concludes that 'Foras Feasa ar Éirinn' had a potential of acting as both active and arachival memory. First and foremost, Keating's work contributed to the formation of archival memory of Irish catholic consciousness and afterwards of Irish nationalism.
