|ShortDescription=Early Hiberno-Latin hymn (3 qq) dedicated to St Brigit. The three stanzas start with the final letters of the alphabet (X-Y-Z), possibly suggesting that they originally stood at the end of an abecedarius, a longer hymn arranged from A to Z. It is prefaced with an Irish prose introduction, which attributes the poem to Ultán of Ardbraccan. MS ''T'' is accompanied with a number of Latin and Irish glosses, one of which praises Brigit with the title ‘the Mary of the Gaels’ (''Maire na n.Goidel''). | |ShortDescription=Early Hiberno-Latin hymn (3 qq) dedicated to St Brigit.
