Irish abridgment of the Expugnatio Hibernica
Incoming data
Early Modern Irish adaptation of part of Gerald of Wales’ Expugnatio Hibernica, I.1-II.19. According to Aisling Byrne (2013), it is “a translation of the Hiberno-English text and not, as has been previously assumed, an independent adaptation of the Latin original”.

Irish translation of the portion of Gerald of Wales' Hibernia expugnata which refers to the Geraldines. Maxim Fomin (2010) has observed that the hand here is “strikingly different” from that responsible for Audacht Morainn and Tecosca Cormaic.
Stanzas are added by various hands at 425-426 and 427 (Gwynn).
