Diplomatic editions, facsimiles and digital image reproductions of the manuscripts are not always listed here but may be found in entries for the relevant manuscripts. For historical purposes, early editions, transcriptions and translations are not excluded, even if their reliability does not meet modern standards.
As the notes make clear, item no. 46 is an amalgam pieced together from the O'Donnell life of Colum Cille (O'Kelleher and Schoepperle, pp. 188-200, 290-294), including seven quatrains from the present poem.
