Text

Dublin, National Library of Ireland, MS G 147

Possibly a copy from TCD 1297. Mac Murchaidh has ‘G 137’, but this appears to be an error.

pp. 1–80

MS

Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1297

p. 1–p. 29

Text

Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1297

The text occurs in the first section of the manuscript.

pp. 1–29 (section 1)

Text

Seanleabhar seanchais Fhear Manach

This manuscript must remain hypothetical. Seán Mac Gabhráin claims to have drawn on an old manuscript of Fermanagh lore, which is now untraceable if it ever existed. For the possibility of further evidence and for further discussion, see Mac Murchaidh (1990).

Waterford, Saint John's College, MS 17
