Incoming data

The catalogue entry for this text has not been published as yet. Until then, a selection of data is made available below.

Short Irish note which mentions Corcrán búachaill (lit. ‘herdsman’, also ‘guardian’ or ‘servant’) and Máel Suthain. As it stands in the manuscript, where it follows a monastic poem uttered by a hermit, beg. M'óenurán im aireclán, it consists of no more than a single line in prose and a retoiric. Cf. perhaps the anchorite Corcrán Clérech (d. 1040) and Máel Suthain Úa Cerbaill (d. 1010) or his namesake and scholar (d. 1031).
