The prose history of Ireland completed by Geoffrey Keating (Seathrún Céitinn) in c. 1634. Comprising an introduction, two books and appendices, it narrates the history of the island from the time of Creation to the Norman conquest in the 12th century. As set out by the vindicatory introduction (an díonbhrollach), the work was written in response to the cultural biases of Anglo-centric writers (e.g. William Camden and Edmund Spenser).

In the epitaph for Matthew de Renzy (1577–1634) on a plaque in the church of Athlone, it is claimed that he composed, within three years, “a grammar, dictionary, and chronicle in the Irish tongue”. The nature and true authorship of these works are unknown. As for the grammar, Roderic O'Flaherty (1627/30–1716/18) suggested that it was De Renzi's tutor Tadhg Óg Ó hUiginn who wrote the grammar and that De Renzi intended to have it published under his own name until his tutor came up with a prosodic challenge he could not accomplish. This grammar has been equated with the tract known as Graiméar Uí Mhaolchonaire. Little can be said of the other works ascribed to De Renzy.
