Didactic prose work written in Irish by Domhnall Ó Colmáin, a Catholic priest of Cork, before the end of the 17th century and based on a division of Erasmus’ Colloquia familiaria that is concerned with an assembly (Senatulus or Γυναικοσυνέδριον) of women. The original version is lost, but the text went through two revisions by the author, both of which survive in manuscript copies. In the Irish text, the convening noblewomen are brought closer to the preacher’s home, in Glanmire (Co. Cork). Ó Colmáin addressed the second version of his work to his young pupil James Cotter (Séamus Óg Mac Coitir).
Middle Irish saga on the career and conquests of Alexander the Great, based on an account in Orosius’ Historiae adversus paganos, Alexander’s letter to Aristotle about India and the correspondences known as the Collatio cum Dindimo.

Early Irish verse hymn ascribed to one Colmán mac Uí Cluasaig, lector in Cork. The first divison (ll. 1-38) is regarded as the original poem, which appears to be an adaptation of a Latin prayer. The next divison (ll. 39-47), itself perhaps of mixed origin, serves as an appendix. The final one, almost certainly a later addition, invokes the chief patron saints of Ireland (Brigit, Patrick and Columba).
