Chronicle of the kings of Alba
prose
Short Latin chronicle of Scottish history, the earliest of its kind, which is preserved in a single manuscript (BNF lat. 4162, or the Poppleton MS). The core of the text, which takes its structure from a regnal list, covers the period between the reigns of Cináed mac Ailpín (d. 858) and Cináed mac Maíl Choluim (d. 995), who appears to have been still alive when his reign was added. The form in which this text has come down, however, is in a later redaction, possibly of the 12th century, surviving in a 14th-century manuscript.
Gaelic notitiae in the Loch Leven manuscript (lost)
form undefined
Entered into the cartulary of the Priory of St Andrew is a group of Latin property records for the Céli Dé house at Loch Leven (see catalogue entry elsewhere). A Gaelic manuscript now lost is credited as their ultimate source suggesting that vernacular originals may lie behind the Latin versions. If so, it is unknown to what extent the latter reflect their contents or to what extent they have been revised to suit new circumstances.
Loch Leven records from the St Andrews cartulary
form undefined
A series of Latin records for the Céli Dé house at Loch Leven (St Serf’s Island, Kinross) which form a distinct section in the cartulary of the Priory of St Andrews. A vernacular, Gaelic source is cited for them.
