An Irish manuscript now lost but named in a note of correspondence from one scribe or compiler to another in the Book of Leinster. In this note, Find, who has been identified as bishop of Kildare, addresses Áed Úa Crimthainn, abbot and coarb of Terryglass, and requests from him the ‘poem-book (dúanaire) of Mac Lonáin’, probably referring to the poet Flann mac Lónáin (d. 891 x 918), “so that we may study the meanings (cíalla) of the poems that are in it”.
