Based on the author's dissertation.
218 Suggests that “at an early period [the present text] was often paired with the Three Utterances sermon. Although no scholar has specifically identified the Doomsday sermon as Hiberno-Latin, its frequent manuscript association with the Three Utterances suggests at least that it was a popular item in Insular circles. As J. E. Cross has shown, the Lenten homily in Junius 85/86 which includes the Three Utterances exemplum also incorporates a translation of part of the Doomsday sermon, further confirming their close association and Insular circulation.”.
