Early Irish litany of saints whose invocations are usually grouped into sevens, e.g. ‘the seven holy bishops of Druim Urchailli (Dunmurraghill)’. In the manuscripts, it is always preceded by a litany of pilgrim saints, which appears to have been a separate text originally.
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.
