Manuscript folios which now comprise the final section in the fifth volume of Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1316. They contain a fragment of Lebor gabála Érenn, recension C, and constitute the greater part of the manuscript witness bearing the siglum H in Macalister's edition of that text. Another part of the original manuscript, written in the same hand, appears to be that which currently occupies pp. 67-70.

Date

14th century (?). Abbott assigns the material in the composite manuscript as a whole to the 14th century. Gwynn infers from the note on p. 68 that it may have been written as early as c. 1237, when Donnchad Ó Ceanead was candidate for the archbishopric of Cashel. However, Macalister objects that such a date is too early for both the language and orthography of the manuscript and that the meaning of the note is uncertain.(1)n. 1 R. A. S.

Table of contents
Legend
Texts

Links to texts use a standardised title for the catalogue and so may or may not reflect what is in the manuscript itself, hence the square brackets. Their appearance comes in three basic varieties, which are signalled through colour coding and the use of icons, , and :

  1. - If a catalogue entry is both available and accessible, a direct link will be made. Such links are blue-ish green and marked by a bookmark icon.
  2. - When a catalogue entry does not exist yet, a desert brown link with a different icon will take you to a page on which relevant information is aggregated, such as relevant publications and other manuscript witnesses if available.
  3. - When a text has been ‘captured’, that is, a catalogue entry exists but is still awaiting publication, the same behaviour applies and a crossed eye icon is added.

The above method of differentiating between links has not been applied yet to texts or citations from texts which are included in the context of other texts, commonly verses.

Locus

While it is not a reality yet, CODECS seeks consistency in formatting references to locations of texts and other items of interest in manuscripts. Our preferences may be best explained with some examples:

  • f. 23ra.34: meaning folio 23 recto, first column, line 34
  • f. 96vb.m: meaning folio 96, verso, second column, middle of the page (s = top, m = middle, i = bottom)
    • Note that marg. = marginalia, while m = middle.
  • p. 67b.23: meaning page 67, second column, line 23
The list below has been collated from the table of contents, if available on this page,Progress in this area is being made piecemeal. Full and partial tables of contents are available for a small number of manuscripts. and incoming annotations for individual texts (again, if available).Whenever catalogue entries about texts are annotated with information about particular manuscript witnesses, these manuscripts can be queried for the texts that are linked to them.

92, 340–341 Gwynn remarks that the folios “are of the same size (12" x 9½"), and in the same hand as pp. 67-70, and were therefore written about 1237, if we can trust the note on p. 68.”
