Electronic publication (encoded in TEI XML) of a Latin text from a previously unpublished manuscript by Sir James Ware (London, Victoria and Albert Museum, Clements Collection, Irish MS R 23 drawer 5. ff. 45r–50r). The Latin text represents extracts made by Ware from an annalistic compilation of the Roscommon Dominican priory, which itself is based on earlier materials.

OʼSullivan, William, “A finding list of Sir James Ware’s manuscripts”, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy 97 C:2 (1997): 69–99.  
abstract:
This paper discusses the collection of manuscripts built up by the Irish historian Sir James Ware (1594-1666) and is particularly concerned to trace its descent through a complicated series of book sales and to establish, where possible, the present whereabouts of the manuscripts. Ware's Catalogus is reproduced in full.
Thompson, John, “William Reeves and the medieval texts and manuscripts at Armagh”, Peritia 10 (1996): 363–380.  
abstract:
The achievement of William Reeves as Armagh keeper can be closely associated with the changing mid-nineteenth-century fortunes of the Armagh library property. In the absence of a detailed survey of small Irish collections to match the example set by N. R. Ker’s magisterial Medieval manuscripts in British libraries, this study traces the crucial role played by Reeves in the history of several important manuscripts and early books now in Armagh Public Library.

The use of separate pagination divides the treatment of the annals into three parts. The first part, covering the reigns of Henry II to Henry VI, is found on pp. 1-76. The second covers the reigns of Henry VII (pp. 1-56), Henry VIII (57-114), Edward VI (115-129) and Queen Mary (130-146) and contains an additional section about the life of George Browne (147-163). The third and final part is devoted to the reign of Queen Elizabeth (pp. 1-64). This is followed by Gesta Hibernorum (pp. 175-196).
