A collection of charter-like records in Latin and Old Irish relating the activities of St Patrick in Ireland and the lands that were granted to him and his church. The collection can be divided into three parts: (1) a text about the foundation of Trim (Co. Meath), including an account of the conversion of Feidlimid son of Lóegaire mac Néill, king of Leinster; (2) a group of six records concerning churches in northern Connacht; and (3) a group of four records concerning churches in Leinster.

A Latin epitaph written for a priest (sacerdos) named Caidocus, who is said to have been born in Ireland and buried in Gaul (Scotia quem genuit Gallica terra tegit). It is found as an addition at the end of a collection of inscriptions that may have been copied at the monastery of Corbie and has been associated with Centulum (Saint-Riquier, Picardy). The signature at the end states that Angilbert, i.e. the Carolingian poet who was given the monastery of Centulum, was responsible for erecting the tomb and inscribing the poem on its surface. The Irishman in question is commonly identified as the one of the same name who appears in the lives of St Richarius of Saint-Riquier, one of which was written by Angilbert’s former teacher Alcuin.
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.
