Title
Lebar Glinne Dá Locha (‘Book of Glendalough’)
Description
In a number of Irish manuscripts, a codex known as Lebar Glinne Dá Locha (‘The Book of Glendalough’) is explicitly credited as being the source for one or several texts. Its identity is a matter of some debate. Several scholars, notably Pádraig Ó Riain, have made a case for identification with the second volume of Rawlinson B 502 (12th century), or what remains of it today. Caoimhín Breatnach, however, has presented a number of arguments against Ó Riain's conclusions.
