Latin metrical calendar consisting of 365 verses, with one hexametrical verse for each day of the year, primarily in commemoration of saints or church feasts. A striking feature is the inclusion of ten Irish saints, fourteen church feasts of Irish origin, six northern French and Flemish saints and the obits of King Alfred and his wife Ealhswith (d. 902). While much is unknown about the origin and authorship of the poem, it is usually thought to have been produced in England in the early part of the 10th century, probably during the reign of King Edward the Elder.

A metrical list of the saints of Ireland that represents an expanded version (243 qq) of an earlier such list. This recension is considered to be the work of Cú Choigcríche Ó Cléirigh or Peregrine O’Clery, who prefixed a prose preface in which he explains that he supplied additional verses for saints not previously included and names the sources he used, including the Félire Óengusso and Martyrology of Gorman. His text is accompanied by glosses that appear to have the Martyrology of Donegal as their source.
