These texts usually offer origin legends which purport to explain how a well-known place in Ireland, such as a certain hill, plain or lake, received its present or former name. The genesis of this collection is usually dated to the late Middle Irish period (11th and 12th centuries).Forus focalForus focalA metrical Irish glossary (75 qq).Deirbhshiúr glossaryDeirbhshiúr glossaryMetrical Irish glossary, which deals with c.193 head-words in the course of over 6o qq.Latin-Irish dictionary compiled in 1662 by the Franciscan Risteard Pluincéad (Richard Plunkett) at the friary of Trim, Co.
