A short story which asserts that the collection of Dinnshenchas Érenn was composed by Amairgen mac Amalgada, poet of Díarmait mac Cerbaill (d. 565), high-king of Ireland. When the men of Ireland were convened at Tara, the poet fasted on Fintan mac Bóchra (a survivor of the Flood, according to other tales - Bodleian, Rawlinson MS B 506) or Findtan son of Lamech (mac Láimíach, Rennes MS) for three days and nights, so that the latter would reveal his knowledge of the notable places of Ireland.

Item description
The Bodleian version (not Rennes) opens with a Latin trinitarian formula (IN nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti amen so sis).
Both versions (Bodleian and Rennes) announce the collection as being the lore of the notable places of Ireland (senchas dinn Érinn) which Amairgen mac Amalgada, poet (file) to Díarmait mac Cerbaill and one of the Déisi (Temrach) [Bodleian: fili dona Deissib; Rennes: in fili dona Déisib Temrach], composed (do-rigni).
