Date
Dated by Eóin Mac Néill to the early part of the 8th century. Margaret Dobbs writes in the introduction to her edition that “the language of these notes contains undoubtedly early forms, such as Corco Echreg, the eighth-century form of Corco Fiachrach. Many of the personal names are of early dates. Broenige and Anblamath are very near to the ogham forms: Broenionias and Anavlamattias. It is noteworthy that the names in the MS refer to persons in Co. Waterford where the corresponding oghams were found. Professor McNeill considers that this miscellany may date from the early part of the eighth century. What internal evidence there is, confirms this view.”(1)n. 1 Margaret E. Dobbs, ‘Miscellany from H.2.7 (T.C.D.)’, Zeitschrift für celtische Philologie 21 (1938–1940): 307.
