Register of Duiske
prose
A now lost register and cartulary of the Cistercian abbey of Duiske (Co. Kilkenny), which appears to have been begun in 1513 for the abbot, Charles (Cathaoir) Kavanagh. Thomas Butler, 11th (or 10th) earl of Ormond, donated the abbey and its lands to his son Piers. Presumably, the manuscript passed into the latter’s possession, but it appears to have been lost by the 18th century. Portions of its contents, including charters and annals, are known from extracts that were made prior to the disappearance of the MS.
