Commentary on the Amra Choluim Chille

Cetracha sacart a lín

verse

1 st.

beg. Cetracha sacart a lín

A scrap of early Irish verse (1q only) cited the beginning of the preface (remfhocul) to Amra Choluim Chille. While in LU it occurs in the upper margin of the first page of the preface, with no explicit relationship being made to the text, it is more fully integrated into the main body of narrative in other manuscripts. The stanza gives a list of churchmen, together with their numbers, which in the context of the prose preface, would seem to refer to those who travelled with Colum Cille at the time of the convention of Druim Cetta.

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.

Cóic ríg tríchat triallsat róe

verse

55 st.

beg. Cóic ríg tríchat triallsat róe

Middle Irish poem (55qq) which enumerates early medieval kings of Leinster since the arrival of Christianity. According to M. A. O'Brien, who published an edition of the text, the poem is a composite work consisting of two parts: the first, longer series of stanzas (1-38) listing 35 kings from Crimthann mac Énnai Chennselaig to Fáelán mac Muiredaig (d. 934), together with two additional quatrains of slightly later date (39-40), and a final series (41-55) ending with Donnchadh mac Dúnlaing (d. 1036). The final kings in both parts are represented as being still alive.
