Meyer’s list of fíanaigecht
The list below gives a succinct overview of the survey compiled by Kuno Meyer in the introduction to his ''[[Meyer 1910p|Fianaigecht]]'' (1910). It focuses on the earliest texts and textual fragments relating to Finn and his fían. For issues with Meyer’s suggestions regarding the dates of composition (given below), see especially [[SMW::off]]Kevin Murray, ‘[[Murray (Kevin) 2012a|Interpreting the evidence: problems with dating the early ''fíanaigecht'' corpus]]’ in The Gaelic Finn tradition... (2012)[[SMW::on]].
