Martyrology, probably first created at Tallaght (Co. South Dublin) in the late eighth or early ninth century and receiving additions until the tenth. It consists of an abridged version of the Hieronymian martyrology whose Latin entries for Christian martyrs and saints were then supplemented with the names of Irish saints commemmorated on the same day.

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).
A Middle Welsh version of the ‘nine answers/virtues of Christ’, which is given by Elis Gruffydd in Cardiff MS 3.4.
