1815×1854 – How some leaves were lost

An account given by a certain Clibborne is recorded by Owen Connellan (Eoghan Ó Coindealbhain) and preserved in RIA MS 12 M 11 (dated 1854), p. 687ff. It claims that the Book of Lismore

“was sent by a messenger to Cork who rode on a mule and he carried the book under his arm, and by the jolting of the mule the lost leaves fell out at various intervals and distances. An honest man happened to pass the same way and his eye being attracted by the leaves, he picked them up and is supposed to have preserved them to this day.”

(Breandán Ó Conchúir, Éigse 21: 258)
