|ShortDescription=Short prose homily in Old Irish and Latin, which has been dated as early as the 7th or the first half of the 8th century and on that account, has some claim to being the earliest specimen of Old Irish in continuous prose. The text has been frequently cited for its linguistic features and for its account of three forms of martyrdom categorised according to colour: white (<em>bán</em>), blue/green (<em>glas</em>) and red (<em>derc</em>). | |ShortDescription=Short prose homily in Old Irish and Latin, which has been dated as early as the 7th or the first half of the 8th century and on that account, has some claim to being the earliest specimen of Old Irish in continuous prose.

|comments=This manuscript was written for Alberic, bishop of Cambrai and Arras in the second half of the 8th century and contains an incomplete copy of the <em>Collectio canonum Hibernensis</em>. The homily is found between two chapters of the <em>Collectio</em> concerning bribery and inappropriate gifts (§§ 21.24 and 21.25). The scribe appears to have known no Irish and as the homily is incomplete, it may have been copied from a stray leaf inserted into the exemplar (see e.g. Stancliffe). | |||
